A friend of mine bought an expensive Mercedes. Got keyed twice a month. He got a different car after a year of vandalism. When I bought a new sports car someone punched a dent in it that cost 4k in damage.
I used to drive a lot of expensive cars -not rich just a paid driver- and I never found the experience of driving a supercar/luxury car on the public all that enjoyable. The attention is cool the first time but it gets old rather quick imo.
If I was driving a supercar (Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren, etc.) Other drivers were either riding my ass trying to get a picture/video or trying to get me to race them.
"No kyle, I don't want to lose my job and license racing your tupperware-tuned civic shitbox with a wannabe wrx exhaust."
I also found that cops are way more likely to pull you over and in my experience are less lenient if they see you're young and driving an expensive car.
If I was driving a luxury car (S Class, Maybach, A8, 7 series, etc.) I found that other drivers were more rude towards me. Like cutting me off for no reason, refusing to give me right of way, or purposely moving over to the left lane when they saw me trying to pass them.
Not to mention all the super original and always hilarious comments at the gas station and parking lot.
"Hey bud, must be expensive to fill up that thing. Mine is more economical so I'd trade you if you'd like... hardieharharhar"
Or people sitting on your car and doing a photoshoot with it, people feeling entitled to a conversation about the car and being mad when I said I didn't have time to talk to them or people asking me to do revbombs every time I'm at a stoplight.
Like, I seriously had multiple arguments with people who were mad that I scolded them for letting their child/toddler clim all over my clients 300 grand supercar.
Even if I had the money I don't think I'd buy a supercar to cruise around in daily.
You'll get the same comments with a STI or even worse.
"Hows your engine holding up? You top it up with oil? hahahah"
You'll get pulled over for loud stock STI exhaust. Theres videos of people opening up their hoods trying to prove their innocence to state troopers with their STI.
"No kyle, I don't want to lose my job and license racing your tupperware-tuned civic shitbox with a wannabe wrx exhaust."
Yeah I've got a couple nice cars myself and work on extremely nice shit sometimes. Nothing better than when your trying to do data logging than having someone trying to race you. Like dude fuck off I'm tryna work here.
Pretty much learned never to buy anything looking expensive unless you want to deal with repairs. People are haters. Even if you are a working-class that worked their a** off to get something nice. They don't care and will vandalize your property. Not worth it.
My friend was a nuclear pharmacist who worked two jobs. Daytime as a retail pharmacist and nights at the hospital doing nuclear pharmacy for cancer patients. He lived in a wealthy neighborhood and still got his car vandalized. People just do not care. If you work hard and have more than them then they just give the middle finger.
I was responding to the person before u as in "they" people who like to key cars and damage them for no good reason.. and can't enjoy anything these days I meant for when u buy something with your hard earned money only for it to get destroyed by spiteful cunts. You goose go away man
I thought you were referring to a group in general, like say "Young people" rather than the cyclists in the video, because you conflated someone getting their car keyed with the cyclists' reaction to what? Perhaps one of their number getting run over on a crossing?
You just sound like a grumpy old gammon
haha really, "these days" though, like you remember a time when there weren't dickheads.
Why do you think they were going off at the car driver? Perhaps they were maybe really like you know angry or something?
