Yep, your buddy HM is still writing...
First off, you don't need a car if you live in a city. Uber takes you where you need to go, and you don't have to worry about parking. I Uber about 80% of the time, if not more. I don't like the risk of accidents, paying for parking, or parking tickets (fuck you, PPA). All in all, UberX costs about the same as public transportation, they pick you up directly, and drop you off to where you're going. It's great. Oh, and no DUIs ever.
You do not need a car if you can't afford one, or don't have parking. I went for a few months without any cars, and it was fine, except for having to drive out to suburban courthouses. (that cost me a lot of money).
Bonus: You can Uber her to your house instead of having to go pick her up. It's like a poon delivery system. "Is my Chinese food here? Oh, it's my poon. Excellent!"
Extra bonus: If you live in a city, you can bike everywhere. I love biking. I throw on my headphones, make my briefcase into a backpack (https://www.saddlebackleather.com/thin-f...riefcase), and ride. This is my preferred method of transportation. People think I was convicted of a DUI or something, but the reality is I just like to ride my bike. Good cardio.
Second, for the most part, cars generally depreciate in value. That 2018 Mercedes you bought this year won't be worth what you paid for it in two years. You could have used that $30k to buy a property or invest it. Cars are fun, but they're terrible investments.
Third, if you live in a city, your car will get fucked up. My Honda Civic got scratched, the wheels stolen off it, and a door knocked off. By the time I was done with it, you would have thought I was poor. The first car I bought out of law school got so fucked up here in the city. It took me 5 years to pay off that fucking car, too. Even when it looked like shit and was barely drivable.
And I get it. I grew up poor. When I get cash in, big cash, the first thought in my head is always "New car!!!!" Then I'm like "Hank, don't be a moron with your money."
So, I have some general thoughts on cars...
1. Old cars are cool. You can pick up a muscle car, Jeep, Land Rover, and old Benz, or something like that for around $5k or under. Personally, I drive old cars until they die. Last year I had my pickup truck (Dodge Ram), Land Rover Discovery II (some women hit me and I almost died), and my 1991 Mercedes Benz Roadster. You know what the ladies said about my fleet? "Oh la la." The Benz actually went up in value. The Rover and Ram are just fun. My cars cost me nothing but women love them. I bartered for all these cars (yes, I paid nothing but helped out a few mechanics). All three would have probably cost me $10k total. I own three cool cars for less than what some dork paid for a Prius. (driving a hybrid makes you gay. No exceptions).
2. Women love big trucks. Just like they do big dogs. If you have money, a stereo system isn't a bad investment. Top of the line will cost you $2k, but you can just do a head unit and decent speakers. Women love big trucks with big systems. If you only have money for one car, get a giant truck. Recommendations: Dodge Ram, Ford F150, GMC, Chevy Tahoe, Toyota Tacoma, etc. Other options: Land Rover Discovery II (bitch to maintain), Jeep (expensive but super cool), Hummer (also a bitch to maintain), etc. If I were to only have one car, it would be something "rugged" like a Jeep or a pickup. Women go nuts over guys who drive big trucks. I keep my hardhat in my Dodge Ram and park wherever the hell I want. Trucks are also good for camping, hiking, trapping, etc. My Land Rover Discovery II was the best car I ever owned. I kept all my camping gear in there. My "everyday" truck is currently my Dodge Ram. It's huge, it's got helos, it's black, and the stereo system is decked out. Women go nuts over it. Absolutely fucking nuts.
3. Muscle cars are also cool. I like the retro ones -- not your modern day sports cars. Not particularly practical and they burn gas like crazy. Convertibles will make panties drop. Any year. I had a red, 1995 Mustang convertible and that thing also made girls go nuts. Convertibles are always good currency. An old muscle car is a poosey machine. And they're fun as hell to drive. Don't be a weenie and get a V8. My Benz is a V8 -- every time I've let a woman drive it they've gone nuts. It's small and fast.
4. In my opinion, expensive cars are a waste of cash. It's your life, live it however you want to, but I haven't observed a great ROI when I had a nice car. The 1991 Benz gets me just as many girls as the brand new BMW, except I have more money in my pocket. Women are just as happy in my big black pickup or my vintage Mercedes as they are a brand new BMW. What you paid for it doesn't matter -- it's how cool the car is. Also, for some reason, my old cars also never get fucked up, broken into, etc. Junkies tend to leave them alone. The PPA tends to leave them alone, too. My brand new Honda Civic straight out of law school (all black, blackouts, tinted windows, system, etc.) was a fucking crime and ticket magnet.
5. In conclusion -- buy cars that are fun to drive. You don't need to spend a lot of cash. Trucks are fun. Muscle cars are fun. Old luxury cars are fun. Convertibles are fun. Buy a cheap car and throw a decent stereo in it. They hold up pretty well if you change the oil and maintain them right. You don't need to drop $40k on a car to impress women -- use that money on investing. My average car costs between $2500 - $5000. They run great and make panties drop. The key is I just buy old cool ones. For the most part, Uber everywhere.
An expensive bike is good, though. You can get something top of the line for like $1k. Just put that shit on lockdown. Get an $80 lock to protect your investment, and never ever leave it unlocked. Store it in your house and at your office. Otherwise it will get stolen. I spent upwards of $1k on my bike, but it rides true and makes women swoon. Burns a good amount of calories, too. My preferred brand is Bianchi.
