I truly like your post, but here is a reality check for all western european guys: Unless you buy a vintage big truck (more than 30-35 years old), you EASILY end up paying 3000 dollars in annual road taxes!!! On top of that you have insurance. Moreover, fuel is 2-3x more expensive in Europe compared to US. Now, in order to get a vintage muscle car (to have reduced road taxes) in Europe in a driveable condition which will not conflict with mandatory technical inspections every 2nd year because of rust and corrosion, you will not find anything worth buying for less than 20000 dollars. More realistic 30000 dollars. Of course you can always find a "project" muscle car for 5000 dollars ... but then you need to put in at least 1000 hours of work.

I guess this is why most guys end up buying tiny fuel efficient asian car to reduce the economical impact.

But dont get me wrong: I would love to have US automobile conditions in Europe.

@idane
Fully correct. I laughed hard at some of the prices mentioned for cars in this thread. Good luck finding such prices in Europe!

[DrugAdvisor]

@Sterling

Europe??? Hahaha. Try South East Asia (Singapores got the most expensive tag to own cars)

Incorporating cars into lifestyle game is good though. Imagine a girl dolled up for a dinner date and you roll up in a beat up 90s hyundai...

Spending money just to impress them though... is an absolute waste of money.

Wow, that's insane !

Admittedly, I don't know much about Europe.

I am writing from the perspective of someone who lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I've lived in New York for a year, but Philly almost all my life.

Here you can just go to the suburbs, buy a car cheaply, and pay like $70 a month in insurance. You can get vintage or antique plates that make your insurance go way down, too. It's even cheaper if you register the car to a house in the suburbs -- not the city. (if you have family out in the burbs).

It's next to nothing to add new cars to the policy. That's what has allowed me to to own a fleet. I represent a few mechanics and tell them to keep an eye out for cool vintage cars. None of my cars cost me over $5k. The Benz is worth the most at $12k, but I did $5k worth of work on it (fuel pump, window thing). I picked it up by bartering legal fees, and paid for the repairs.

Thank you for your input and insight. I simply did not know that Europe charges such insane road tax rates.

I guess on the bright side, that's why you Europeans and Asians are so skinny -- gotta walk everywhere ! Here in Philly, people will drive like three blocks.

I watched a documentary last week -- Miso Hungry. It's about how Asian culture is focused on walking and eating vegetables. Pretty fun watch.

With good credit you can lease one of these fully loaded for $900 - $1300 usd per month. I cruised around with a friend in his and girls were taking selfies next to it and asking us if they could get inside. Even had some beta offer us $20 to take a picture of him in it. It stands out being BMW's super car making it less common to see on the road or parked. Got more attention in this car than a Ferrari of Lambo.

[pargan]

The I8 is one of the best looking cars out there however I feel the performance isn't that great for the price.

Don't worry, if the girl says to you (honey this is not the best performing car for the price). You can automatically disqualify her. They only care about people seeing them getting out of it. As long as betas and other girls are rubber necking them they'll be more than happy.

Also it's the cheapest lease option for a super car currently that I know of. I personally would never buy a liability, just lease it.

That car is super cool.

However, I pay $1050 a month for my mortgage.

Part of the reason I have money is that I keep my expenses low on some stuff, and spend it on other stuff -- the gym, jiu jitsu, etc. That alone adds up to about $1k a month. Yikes !

Again, this isn't judgment. If you can afford $1k a month to pay for a car, God bless. I can't, so I just buy cheap cars that people think are cool. I spend my money on other stuff. People think I'm a millionaire just based on my cars, none of which cost me much or really anything. If my cars get destroyed, so be it.

I'd love to have a whip like that, but chances are it would get destroyed in the city. My Honda Civic got crushed -- wheels stolen (jacked up on soda crates), door broken off, windows smashed, etc. And it was a $15k car. I loved that car, but after three years in Philly, it looked like a homeless person wagon. Smelled terrible due to the mold. They stole the radio, the speakers, my tires, punched out the windows, took off a door, stole the blackouts, carved their name into it, you name it.

My $2000 Land Rover? No one fucked with it, until I was in a bad accident (I lived -- big ass car saved my life). My Dodge Ram? They leave it alone. My Benz? The same.

I would love to have a car like that, but I don't think it fits into my lifestyle.

I also don't think I'd get any additional poon...

Would enjoy the shit out of driving it, though.

Well nothing wrong with fiscal responsibility obviously.

Have you considered a used badass car

2002 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage

V12 engine. It's a fucking bond car... wear a 3 piece suit and adopt William F Buckley's old school new england accent and you'll be swimming in pussy in this car. 29k list price of a 2002 Aston is not a bad price. Got under 60k in mileage.

for 5k down you'd pay less than $400 per month I'm sure you could get it down to $300 per month or less.

https://www.truecar.com/used-cars-for-sa...7-vantage/

Most girls could not tell the difference between this or a new one. But they'll certainly read the word Aston Martin. Great SNL /ONS car.

Get a burner phone for the car while you're at it.

In Europe, one of the biggest driving forces for buying a brand new car, are the alarming road taxes for old cars. The road taxes are rising at such a rate (because almost all government ONLY want electric cars now) that people choose to sell their old car which is in a perfect condition, with 100000s of miles left in the engine. In Germany many of the older diesel cars are banned in the bigger cities.

Vintage cars are MUCH cheaper in terms of road taxes, but if you want to use it as a daily driver (which is highly unlikely if you live in northern Europe) you will still have to fight the federal mechanical and emissions inspections every 2nd year. These inspections make most old car owners shiver - because their beloved car might be scrapped (or they have to fix it for 1000s of dollars ... and they typically only have 1 month to complete ALL the work and present the car again - no mercy) even though the love it. These inspections are dead serious and all about road safety. If you look in the classified adds, the asking price for a freshly inspected car is MUCH higher than for a car with an outdated inspection.

HankMoody, can you also do this with your big truck? :-)

It's fake.

Women like flashy cars for short-term Alpha fucks appeal:

https://www.menshealth.com.au/flashy-car...e-to-women

The man's health soy issue gets the wrong impression with it. Men who drive flashy cars are seen as more AlphaFucks and less BetaProvider.

But flashy cars is relative:

Flashy:

for 15.000$

Not flashy:

for 125.000$

I tested this out myself and have Red Pill friends who confirmed it. One friend of mine exchanged his Mercedes S-class worth 120.000$ for a Mini-Cooper special edition with massively upgraded engine. He got 10 times more attention with his Mini cooper than he ever received with this S-class.

A Pick-UP Truck is probably the best all-around model of conveying both masculinity as well as some masculine AlphaFucks appeal.

By the way - that guy's Lamborghini Gallardo can be had for under the price of a Mercedes GLS, but it has x-times the pussy appeal.

And even worse is the fact that women cannot see much in terms of cars - a 10 year old well-kept car will be as new to her as a brand-new one. Also most women will confuse a used Porsche Boxster for 25.000$ with a brand-new Porsche 911 Turbo for 180.000$. If you want to go for flashy, then 25.000$ will be enough.

Or you go vintage for 10.000-15.000$.

I see cars as a piece of metal that gets me from point A to point B. Give me a 2012 Honda Accord and I'm a happy guy. If a bitch ain't down wit dat, that's ok. I'll go home and jerk off.

Dodge trucks are shit, engines are garbage and fuel-hungry. I'll take either a Ford or Chevy please. Maybe they got better recently, pre-2012 they're trash. Exceptions are the diesel versions where Cummins built the powertrain for them.

I always thought Chrysler based cars were overrated. The only exception to that rule is the Jeep Wrangler.

It sounds like we are all saying the same thing:

- Chicks know jack shit about cars and bikes.
- Chicks like to brag, and will tell their girls that they were in a gold Range Rover when they were in a 15yo Chevy.
- Old cars are a bigger draw for most people, including girls.
- Import SUV's are for soccer moms and lose $ value within minutes off the lot
- Unusual cars are catnip
- Have a car if it brings your life value. Not the other way around.
- Everyone likes Jeep Wrangler for obvious reasons.
- Zel found a Mach 1 for $15k?

The Dodge non-diesel trucks I've dealt with all sucked, the old magnum engines had intake gasket problems which is a very expensive repair. The body rusts out like crazy compared to other brands (however you really need to give enough shits about your car to run it through an underbody car wash in winter time!).

My Jeep has been pretty solid so far knock-on-wood. One thing the Jeep line had going for it powertrain wise (up until recently) was the straight six they got from AMC, and it was solid, although a gas guzzler.

The Chrysler 2.4L that is in mine has been great, I have no complaints on it. I've heard that new pentastar engine is good as well, the 3.8L used after they got rid of the straight six though was kind of a weak engine. The 6 speed tranny in mine is actually from Mercedes and requires synchromesh fluid and not GL5. Also the transfer cases aren't Chrysler either, they have been made by New Process Gear for a long time.

So maybe the fact Jeep has a pretty good reputation still is most of the major pieces aren't made by Chrysler

Ive always been a Porsche guy. Im on my 5th one now (granted the current one is Cayenne S but Ive had 3 in the 911 series).

What I noticed over the years is that the type of chicks that are affected by the exotic car are almost always the same ones that are into the whole club / after party scene, etc.

In order for the car to be effective as a weapon as a bang weapon you need the whole arsenal: cool pad, hi line social circle, and most importantly drugs...especially cocaine. The bizzies that want to be arm candy for a dude with an exotic car also tend to be the type that want nose candy. If you just have the cool car without the rest youre just a poser to them

In other words the car is rarely enough as a stand alone.
