Only buy appreciating assets like houses
Rent depreciating assets like cars
I havent got an issue with leasing, but when you do lease your monthly costs are based on depreciation. Looking to put a macan or a rs3 through the business next too

OP, at some point you'll realise that between two extremes (let's say Vauxhall Agila to Ferrari), no one gives a s
t what you drive
Agree. I can't recall a time in my life where I've ever noticed I was 'looked down upon' because of the car I drove. Most people who meet me don't even know what I drive. Most people I work with daily don't know what I drive - because they don't care. People who do know is generally because they are interested in cars and we share a common interest there. t what you driveStrangers on the road who see me driving whatever I'm driving at the time, well I don't know them, to know whether they look down on me for it or not. And my mates and family don't care what I drive (at least in the sense of forming an opinion of me based on it), because they are my mates and family.
OP, you must know a lot of odd people to have enough of them that judge you for what choice of metal tin you choose to ride about in, that it effects you enough to rant about it on here. :-s

I drove this when I was 18.
Look on the bright side
Hey don't knock it.Look on the bright side
I had my first ever sexual encounter in a viva. I was 17 and a bit and we had been talking about it for weeks but we never got a chance to be alone, there was always some family commitment or crisis that got in the way.
Anyway, It was August 1981 and we were coming back from grandad's funeral, I remember the car just skidding to a halt, I grabbed the dash and door and asked why she stopped. She didn't say a word. She just switched off the car, shuffled over to my side, stroked my forehead, kissed my eyelids and the top of my nose. I was sad and bloody excited at the same time! I felt really guilty because I should have been mourning, but I had waited months for this (it felt like years!). I wanted to say no, this is not the right time or location I dreamed about, but she put her fingers on my lips to stop me from talking and just whispered with incredibly hot breath "No need to say anything, it's okay, it's okay".
It was like a bloody film, I remember it like it was yesterday!
Obviously, I'm not going to tell you what happened, we are all adults here, and this is not one of those websites, but even if it was, I have too much respect for my grandma.

You seem to have serious issues with people that lease cars???
You state about them looking down on you but in actual fact you’re trying to look down on them because you own your car and theirs is leased!
What is ownership? When you’re dead the car won’t be yours or theirs just the same
Yep, all of this. You state about them looking down on you but in actual fact you’re trying to look down on them because you own your car and theirs is leased!

As for some young whippersnapper yipping and having a Focus ST at 18? Don't expect any sympathy from this bald headed old man who was unlucky enough to have a Talbot Avenger 1.3 at 18. Fecker was maroon and had been repainted with a brush.

ks. One minute you’re getting a Macan the next you’re getting paid less than minimum wage...
I couldn't care less what people think about my transport, whether it be the 25-yr old bicycle I commute on, the 10-year old E90 diesel I use as a work hack for longer trips, the ugly 7-seater Chevrolet we have as a family bus, or whatever.
It's quite liberating not to give a monkey's.
