I wonder what ladies drive?

I used to care & would drive only luxury vehicles.  My ATF was 760 BMW V12 baby, but status means nada I know who I am & driving an economical vehicle is smart.

I had a luxury car phase. UGH, I cringe now looking back because they were so much maintenance. I drive a new vehicle, but it's much more inconspicuous. What were your most superficial car purchases?

Luxury cars are such high maintenance (BIG PITA!). My SUV needs a new motor and my used Lexus just got totaled in a wreck. So I'm in a rental right now LOL...couldn't be happier. It's a simple Chevy Impala that has fantastic MPG and it gets me from Point A to Point B. My next car will be either a Honda or a Nissan. I'm DONE with luxury whips!! Unless, I hit the lotto or something. I prefer to save and invest my money. Plus, the older(wiser) I get, the less I like to flaunt my money.  

You know ..what is funny
i have seen guys  and some women in very expensive   cars
No matter the country..... is the show off mentality ...who sucks  

But when they get out the car They look like SHIT
Crappy clothing  
bad hair day  
Look like they do  no even shower
And some  look so sad  miserable a
Is   just another TOY to fill their empty soul..
then  buy more shit and do GARAGE Sale ..
what fun  way to live ..
So what is point to drive fancy car?
CAR TO ME IS just  transportation
Take CARE yourself first ..
Sorry  people I am  still on cultural adjusting  LOL
Forgive me
kisses and hugs

WONDER WHAT Children with 16 years oid are doing to driving Expensive  CARS
ahh
BORN BRAT  
what great education  

Some married men call them mistresses because wifey is jealous of the amount of time AND money he "spends on that damn car!"  
  Most indulgent - BMW 850Cia, her name is Miss Oxford Green. And there was HiHoSilber, BMW 850Cia, totalled her.  Ooooo and Burgundy she was a BMW 850i that disappeared one night with my Rolex and a trunk full of brand new studio recording equipment !!!  

You totaled your car? Hope you're ok and have rental car coverage to elevate that unexpected expense.

Wow, you don't see those often.

I had a boring German sedan for my long commute to a job in the tv industry. I'd gotten divorced a few years earlier and was finally back on my feet financially. So I decided to get a fun German sports car. The car was old enough that the market value was low enough for me to afford, but the model was one that was reliable. I put over 130k miles on the car in less than 5 years. Yes, I had to put some maintenance into it, but not as much as you might think. I really enjoyed that car. The time finally came to change jobs and I sold the car, but je ne regrette rien.

67 and 62 corvette, VW bus, 69 chevelle, 911, 70 Buick GS, and a couple of pure Italian sports cars that top all the high maintenance adjectives, as most things Italian and female do. One was red and the other blue. I now drive a 540 HP German SUV, with a great sound. It doesn't get the girls to turn, as its a guy macho car.

particular to LA and the beach, sitting at a cafe in Beverly Hills, or in Santa Monica, or Manhattan Beach, or everywhere else from Baja to Carmel,  cars, sports cars, Italian cars, street rods, muscle cars, exotic cars....its just like everything else we indulge and admire and, sometimes smile about, or wish for. Just like the ads that get posted here. Cars are fun, they can be exciting, dangerous, addictive, passionate, invigorating, or just practical, dull or uneventful. Not everyone wants a basic car, same as a watch, or a meal, or a date, or a special date. It's a fun topic.
