daytona Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 He bought a new Ford Focus back in 2006, just traded it in for peanuts and got himself a new Insignia and he has no knowledge on cars whatsoever, he makes me cry when I watch him clean *torture* his car but yea, "Dads always know best" haha Yes we do actually. It's genetic so are you SURE he's your Dad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si_c Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I just think a lot of people have to have 'new' its more like a status symbol, "oh look, I have a 13 plate car" yeah ooh ooh look, you are a douche bag. a few years ago me and the wife thought she was coming into some money (didn't happen ) straight away I was looking at s14's, R32 & 33's, cossies, 190's, supra's, hell even looked at getting an old mk 2 jag ( jaaaaaag ) but I didn't even look at anything new, coz all it would of been was some piddly, common, soulless shitbox, no way pedro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golf club car park mentality. Status symbol = you buy something you don't want, with money you haven't got, to impress people you don't like.

InsolentMinx Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) The guy who lives next to my mum and dad gets a brand new car every time a new reg plate comes out! And he only seems to drive them the 20 min trip to the office and back! Always a brand new Jag for him, and a brand new Mini for his wife. Both rarely seem to leave the driveway outside of office hours, and every weekend he's out washing/waxing them. This year his wife got the new Polo though... so that was a little excitment. They must have some form of contract with the main dealer, or it's a company car scheme... at least I hope so, otherwise he must lose a shitload in depreciation each year just to have the latest numberplate. you buy something you don't want, with money you haven't got, to impress people you don't like. that pretty much used to be my signature on here Buying things I don't need, with money I don't have, to impress people I don't know. Pretty much sums up the car-scene Edited October 17, 2013 by InsolentMinx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxxy Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Had a few great comments from my new girlfriend 2 weeks ago, "Ooh that's so sexy, its gorgeous and I bet its fast" ( She owns a Polo)......Errm, no love, its only a Celica 140,(I didn't tell her THAT!) No point in disappointing her with honesty. I said she could drive it if she wanted but she looked alarmed and said she would probably crash it on the next bend, so no. She's an American from Texas so not used to bends...say no more. I feel really good sometimes.... Edited October 17, 2013 by foxxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InsolentMinx Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 there's a fine line between good mental, and crazy mental.

Heckle Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 I think we should be grateful for all the stupid people that go out and buy new cars; they get the depreciation, we get the cars cheap after a few years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
