Sweet wrap tho
My mate keeps complaining about not being able to afford a house mortgage, but keeps buying a new car every two years. I’ve been thinking of broaching him on it.
This is my brother-in-law. He complains about his partner and how she doesn’t save like him (he makes more than her) and how they/he can’t afford a house but he spent $20,000 on camera equipment last year (it’s a hobby, not a job for him), has bought and sold 3 motorcycles since I’ve known him (progressively more expensive), and puts a lot of money into his other hobbies.
The housing market (at least in the US) is shit and everything’s overpriced right now but at some point your own choices need to be considered.

Yeah, but you’re poor in style.
What’s life if you can’t have a little fun?
Isn’t this the FT86? It shouldn’t break anyone’s bank.
Toyota GR86. Started as the FRS, and Subaru produces their BRZ model. Last year I almost bought one new and iirc it was about $33k in my market (before taxes/registration/dealer fees).
It has different names in different markets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_86
A $500 shitbox would put me in debt rn… 😩
lol these are only like 30k new.
If that was a financial mistake, perhaps the plate should stay “STILLPOOR”.
This, I should mention, is coming from someone who has never had $30k in his life and drives an older model of one of these cars (which i fucking love, btw).
“Only 30k”!?
You’re fucking joking, right? Twenty years ago a $30,000 car was expensive and unobtainable for me, and it still is today. I can only dream of owning a car that expensive. My budget has never been above $10K, and that’s why I drive a 350Z.
It’s not that the car is relatively affordable that has made him poor, it’s the mods. I’ve seen people spend multiple times the MSRP of a car in mods alone, which is a poor decision to do with this car because it’s entire purpose was to be an affordable sports car.
Couldn’t be me.
Totally not waiting for a ~4000eur parts delivery for this exact same model of car tomorrow.
My Miata says hi.
Cool, i love the anticipation for new parts. 4k in parts, i’m guessing turbo kit?
Nah, I want it to stay completely legal (turbo conversions would either be illegal or cost tens of thousands to get TUV approved here) It’s just a bunch of NA mods, headers, new exhaust, flywheel, all that
That’s awesome! Ah, the TUV. Fortunantly we don’t have that here yet. I hope you recieved everything in good order today and wish you a lot of fun installing and driving!
Could have bought a Porsche instead of those dumb mods
Taking oneself ever so seriously with a Porsche or being absolutely fabulous in a modded Toyota. Tough choice.
Why did we stop using Louvers?
Because they were invented before computer simulations of airflow. It turns out they do exactly the opposite of what people thought and actually pull the car upwards instead of pushing it down.
What if I just want to look cool and have some sun shade for my rear window
Nothing wrong with that, you just can’t have that and a fast racecar.
I just remembered I drive a honda so I’m not getting a fast racecar no matter what I do
Sounds like you haven’t added enough vtec decals yet.
