Pass.
Yeah - working out and learning Game gets 100 times more dividends than buying a car for sure.
But if you can afford it, don't buy it on credit and have fun while driving it - why not.
To discourage someone from spending their hard-earned cash in a manner that pleases them would be pretty immature.
However, due to experiences growing up in a place where all the try-hards based their personality around a jeep, ricer (which they didn't personally do any work on) or pick-up truck, I've always been suspicious of guys who are "really into cars/truck/etc."
These guys always seem to be able to work a reference to their truck or their jeep into everyone conversation. Unless you built the car in question, I see this as no different than regularly talking publicly about how much money is in your bank account.
On the other hand, I really like it when guys fix up a car, rebuild an engine, drive around an antique car, etc. I find this incredibly manly.
However, any dumb idiot with money in his pocket can see a car he likes and go to a dealership an buy it. It proves nothing.
I find conversations about what "cars people like" silly. Anyone can see a car and "like it." Of course they do, these cars are beautiful.
A much better conversation would be about "what cars have you restored?"
If anything, it's just another thing that will tie you down and give you less real freedom.
That being said, if I'm still chasing 18-28 year old pussy when I begin crossing from my early 40's into my almost 50's, the first thing I'm going to do is buy the sexiest two seater I can afford and I'm going to use it to impress dumb sluts.
