I'm not sure if you're serious...but this is a hilarious reply either way. :stongue:

I don't know, in general luxury cars just piss me off. They are something that costs a lot, costs a lot to maintain, and you will never use the horsepower in it (and usually thats their excuse for why the car needs a thousand bucks of work every 2000 miles). The entire class of vehicle seems like a scam.

Eh, status symbol...what's not to get?
I would love to drive a badass car with lots of horses under the hood though. Now that I know how to drive manual my friend is going to let me take her RS4 out for a boot. Can't wait! :D

I guess, if you need it to impress people though thats a ty line of work (no offense vivid).
My dad explained to me once why he never buys luxury cars, and why he has stuck with mid-range Hondas no matter how much money he was making. He said "if I pull up in a acura or a lexus [he'd never buy european or american lol] my clients would see me and go 'this guy is living the high life on our problems', my clients drive beat up volvos and clunkers, they are public servants and I'd never want to give them the impression that I take their money for granted"
Different clients though I guess, but it still resonated with me.

I was actually thinking about going the Cadillac route. Less douchey and fits my old italian man persona to a tee.
and i dont care how much of a douchey car a range rover is, once you drive one you cant go back to driving a regular ass car.
So I think I will either go Audi S line, or Cadi now that i think about it.

ya my clients judge you on ehat you drive. if youre not driving the luxury car then you are not making millions in real estate like Tom Vu so you must suck. that is the mentality

I agree with that, totally...but maybe I'm a commie like that, lol.
There are a few nurses at work who drive Mercedes' and Lexus', and it just doesn't seem right to me. I just don't think being a nurse is about status or being flashy..glory or whatever. I know that people are free to spend their hard earned money however they like...but ehhh.

ya but they probably dont have nice homes. I live near government housing on west mall and east mall. Its hilarious how many bmw, mercedes and escalades roll out of there. But that isnt saying much when you rely on the government to deliver you cheese to eat every 15th of the month.

Yea, he explained that to me after he explained how one of the districts he represents (guess which one Jake, I bet anyone can figure it out if they live around here) the teachers drive volvos and old beat up 80s Hondas and the students pull up in next years BMW, Merc, Lexus, Audi, Acura, super-car, classic super restored muscle, you name it, that their parents bought them. Because some little head is causing the school grief he doesn't need to show up looking like another rich jerk.
Another story he related to me was that he was waiting for a meeting at this tiny little district down near the Columbia and he was waiting for the school to open and he was shooting the with the some of the maintenance staff and he mentioned he was the districts lawyer and they go "oh whats your ride?" and he points at the lot and goes "See that dirty CRV with the cracked windshield? Thats mine." The workers were like "wow... our union boss drives an Audi."
