I don't give it any thought, one way ,or the other. What difference can it  make?


I agree, I mostly don't notice unless it's an especially nice looking vehicle, like a Tesla. I loved seeing the Audi TTs from around 2004 drive by - sexy cars. But I also notice a lot of cars not in the Luxury category. I get excited about every new Prius model or all-electric vehicle that comes on the market.

I agree. I LOVE vehicles!!! No matter shape,color, etc. 

So, when I see a cool car, I think "lucky dog" & then I think omg, I bet the property tax is outragious or how much it is to fix it when it breaks down. Guess, its my reality check,lol

You guys are talking really expensive cars. I would consider mine expensive at $40,000 & a waste of money IMO. LOL!!! I do okay driving around here but I get anxiety now so I don't like to drive. It only has 9132 miles on it & will be 4 yrs old end of Apr.

I get nervous driving my car for the price we paid so I should have bought something else. Our 1st new vehicle was only $6,000.

If anyone else wants to drive a vehicle that costs lots of money have at it it's your money but a waste like I said IMO.

I see a fair amount of luxury cars and SUV's, so they really don't turn my head.  However, I AM a sports car lover from birth, so I really take notice of those.  I love and respect them all.  I was driving to work in my red Mustang this morning when I spotted a red Camaro in the other lane.  My first thought was, "Hey look, I'm not the only nut who drives a rear wheel drive sports car in the snow!"

My 'unicorn' is a Bugatti.

$1.5-1.7 Million.

 

My BFF has seen one in downtown DFW, but I haven't yet.

Just a matter of time.

Beautiful machines.

Work of art.

I've never had, nor do I want a new car.  You've wasted thousands just by driving it off the lot. We've always had wonderful cars - clean, comfy, great transportation.  Right now I have a car I love so much I refuse to part with it to upgrade for newer.  It's a 2010 Dodge Grand Caravn. I live in an area full of doctors, dentists and lawyers.  They drive by in everything imaginable, and when they do I smile to myself and think about what I have in my portfolio instead of my garage. There's nobody out there I want or need to impress.

Ya'll are thinking way too small.

 

Drive around Detroit in the summertime. You'll see Maybach's to Lamborghini's regularly. These are stored in the winter.

 

Guy I knew did high end auto financing and very high end vehicles are usually on a short lease like 12-24 months or purchased for cash. Banks usually won't lend on a typical auto loan.

 

A Lamborghini oil change can run about $400 bucks.

The only car, believe it or not, that I will look and say I wish we had that is a Hyundai Elantra.

 

I just like the look of it and when we were looking for our new car we did look at them but I was not a good fit in it.  I couldn't see out the back window and I didn't like how low the passenger seat was in comparison to where the air bag would fly out at me if it ever deployed.
