would /o/ ever sell assets for a car, or how much would you reccomend you make to afford the car?I'm seriously thinking of selling some NVDA or BTC to get a corvette. I'm 30 so this may just be a mid-life crisis idk. I need to get a gf and i'm not gonna attract any zoomers with my 2000 accord beater.
yeah good idea ask a bunch of incels lmao
You're not going to attract women with a corvette either
>>28621648Why would you ask that on /o/ and not /biz/. You literally came from there.
>>28621648>I'm 30 so this may just be a mid-life crisis idkIsn't mid life crisis at like 42.
>>28621648Personally I horde money to pounce on investment opportunities and I've noticed that women are far less impressed by cars than a fully loaded bank account.Cars are quite silly if you really think about it.
>>28621660Iunno, I'm lonely, I make $125k and I've never been on a date, girls my age are hags. I look youngish though. I feel like i'm gonna age out of dating.
>>28621663>not preferring hagsNGMI
>>28621666they're run through, and girls at the office are like vultures, I find it disgusting how marriage/baby focus they are.
>>28621668>he doesn't have kids yetHAHAHAHADUDE LMAOUR A GAY DONT TELL UR DAD LMOA
>>28621648I bought pic related last year at 37. Didn't sell assets because I didn't want to pay capital gains. But it only attracts dudes. Had a guy yell at me hey what to you do for a living at a stop light because I don't have gray hair driving this thing. Docs at work won't stop asking about it or mentioning they'll get one in a couple years. The girls care more about how stable you are than how much money you wasted on a car unless they're social media whores.
>>28621648Do it if you actually like driving. Like the other guys said you aren't going to be attracting women.None of us are going to be making it to retirement with the current state of the world and gender relations, you know this to be true. Those jewish dollars aren't going to be worth shit when you're dead.But if you're doing it because you think women are going to run up and talk to you, you're fucking retarded.
>>28621648Buy a car because you enjoy it and it makes your living experience more pleasant. You're gonna be disappointed doing anything else.
I don't have any regrets buying a new C7 when I turned 31. I was on the fence because it's not an optimal financial decision, but it is definitely a fun one. Still have the car 9 years later. Don't buy it to impress females.
>>28621648>I'm 30anon, you're getting real fucking old. If you dont actually enjoy your hobbies now, then you never will. Your body is seriously going to start deteriorating in 5 years.
>>28621648If you're getting into cars for women, you'll be in for a rude awakening.C8 vettes are dope, so if you want one for the passion of wanting one. By all means. However if you're ONLY getting one as a chick magnet then, I highly advice against this. If you wanted a vehicle that pulls women, get a modest luxury sedan like an LS400 or something along those lines and just keep it absurdly clean. Women like cute dudes with CLEAN cars. That's the key in general.
>>28621786as someone who's 27, you are scaring the shit out of me. i already feel like i'm rotting.
>>28621663>and I've never been on a dateThat's your own fault for never actually trying.Are you actually interested in performance vehicles and want to rip that thing around? If so, buy it. If not, just get an entry level BMW or Lexus or some shit.
>>28621786>>28621817You both are basically on death's door. Midas whale not try anything bold grandpa, you're resigned to your fate.
a $60k c8 stingray is not such an extravagant purchase that you're blowing up your entire investment strategy buying one at 30 as a single man. People your age are engaged/married/about to have kids and buying luxury SUVs without even blinking.
sports cars attract dudes, just lease some big german luxury SUV with plenty of screens for your passenger princess. then in 2 years get something you actually want. though reading the thread now you sound like a fucking loser so do whatever lmao
>>28621668>passing up women interested in actual relationships You're gonna regret that in another 5-10 years brother. You're already past your fuck boy years
>>28621817use it or lose it...exercise, don't have to bulk up but work on cardio, swimming is great because it exercises all the muscles. and before doing major wrenching...do stretches. it really makes a difference; yesterday i posted about reinstalling a steering box that was so fucking heavy while i was crawling and rolling around on the hard concrete...today i hardly feel sore. i still remember previous times i'd get under the car for a few hours, and next few days i'd be sore as hell...every one of those times i never did stretches.some other anon also mentioned knee pads, those are also a huge benefit for little cost
>>28621648Couple things1. If it doesn't completely empty your shit out and it makes you broke, yeah why the fuck not, gotta live a little2. If you're solely looking for a Vette to get some zoomette gold digger, please don't do this man, yeah it's a nice side effect but like long term shit, that would be kinda scary if she's legit in it for your hard earned dollars and nothing else (disregard all this advice if you're solely looking for pure zoomer poon)That being said, it's a fuckin sweet car, I'm still so amazed Chevy basically brought a supercar to the masses, I'm gonna work and save so this can be my next car.
>>28621875what do you mean, i'm 2325 is when you're old for a "young" person30 is when youre actually old
>>28621657biz is full of faggots shilling shitcoins that go nowhere but down. OP, sell whatever the fuck you want to buy whatever the fuck you want, but don't cry about it when you're broke.
>>28621648It won't get you a GF, and the female interest it attracts is the bad kind.
>Crackheads genuinely believe 30 is old>OmegakekYou pussies LOVE living in fear of EVERYTHING
>>28621663You've been undateable all this time, even a Ferrari wont change a thing.
>>28621648This car is trashy. You can tell its american.
>>28621656Didn't they win at the Burger King race, something something not McDonald's. Do bitches not care about this stuff
If you actually want to make it and not be a broke retard:Dont buy a fun car with borrowed moneyCar should be max 5% of your NW, 10% if youre a car guy and you buy something that wont depreciate to zeroDont buy an expensive car before owning your home outright OR financed at an attractive interest rate (<3.5%)
>>28624040only because there's such a thing like BoP by which they hamstring the porsches
>>28621887They are "interested in actual relationships" which means they are looking for a walking wallet after they are done being passed around in their 20s.
>>28624035it's trashy stock, but most are. it can look pretty mean with the right style choices. unfortunately it's flat plane so you'll never get rid of the faggy european sound.
>>286242331st, it looks bad because of the proportions, no amount of Aliexpress mods will save it2nd, not all of them are flat plane, Stingray has a standard, OHV cross-plane LT2, you don't know what you are talking about3rd>faggy european soundShit taste
>>28621648you sound like a complete retard incel
>>28624238I would only buy the z06 since im not a coper, so it's irrelevant to me. enjoy ur 120hp lotus sound.
>20 year Olds freaking out and pretending that 30 is oldYour body is not breaking down, you are just morbidly obese. You are not old until 40
>>28621648Women don't care about cars.That being said, you can't take your money with you so you need to balance long term asset growth with maximizing your present day life enjoyability. If cars are your primary hobby, you're going to have to spend some money at some point.Personally, I don't think I'd put my money into a still depreciating asset like a C8, but I would heavily consider something like a C7 z06 with a manual transmission since those have likely done most of their depreciation, and may have some limited upside in the future in terms of desirability. Look at total cost of ownership over the lifetime you expect to keep the vehicle and figure out how much you're truly likely to spend or lose, and then decide the best path forward for your self.
>>2862379630 is old, all the pretty girls you're gooning to on porn sites are under 23. You look like a boomer to these girls IRL.>>28624268You can literally measure your performance dropping every year after 27-28. You cant run as fast or as far, it takes you longer to recover and your brain undergoes significant changes that make girls less attractive.
>>28624308You've literally never ran in your life what are you even talking about. You've never done any sport at any high level. You sit on a computer all day. Please stop.
>>28624308Either you are fat as fuck or you read too much into sports, which effectively is just race horse nonsense. An athlete has a very short shelf life to compete at a super high level yes, but for your body being "young" that lasts until 40 when you reach the absolute peak and start to stagnate.
>>28624244>z06Car for "copers" who can't afford ZR1, which in turn is for "copers" who can't afford ZR1X>enjoy ur 120hp lotus soundConfirmed as deaf and retarded
>>28624352confirmed brokie ovg'er
>>28624354Post car
>>28624356no pics on laptop, post logitech
>>28624362>excusesConcession accepted
>>28621668>I find it disgusting how marriage/baby focus they areAre you retarded? That's what you want to look for in a woman, rather than a roastie who never grows up.
>>28621656I pulled women with a C4 corvette but I live in Jamaica so there's that.
>>28621648You want a corvette? C7, manual. Or auto if manual isn't your thing. Don't buy a depreciating asset, and don't ever buy a depreciating asset with a possible rock-bottom future, ie any car made after 2019/2020
>>28621648I would, in fact, sell my assets - that is, physical or virtual units of United States of America currency, known as dollars - in exchange for legal ownership of an automotive vehicle. In fact, I fondly recall engaging in such a transaction when acquiring my current mode of four-wheeled transportation. I suggest you do the same, good sir, unless the value of another such asset is well above the market value in the eyes of your trading partner.
>>28625119LMAO! I believe you. I was on Curacao and had a rental Impala... people thought I was Tony Montana or something lol.
>>28621648between the piles of dogshit in this thread, there are some actual, solid and good advice for you. Mainly dont get a car because you think it'll attract a girl.... legit bro, they dgaf and often dont even know what they're looking at. Just keep your shit clean inside/outside and dont worry about it.Regarding a car purchase.. do it because YOU want it, not because of whatever contrived reason you think other people will be attracted to you (they wont). I say this as a fairly healthy, fit 50yr old that's had probably 30 cars but not a single fucking ONE of them was because I gave a fuck about impressing or attracting others. Youre still young, you'll make more money. Have some fun but dont blow it all on some stupid car.
>>28621648if you want someone that you want to stick around with for life unironically get a manual shitbox and use it as a litmus test when it "suddenly" breaks down and you need her to help you push start it
>>28621791>women like cute dudesCar doesn't matter.>>28621887Betabuxing is worse than suicide.
>>28624304Trüe wizdumb. I'm personally trying to figure out what to spend on because it's pointless to save millions that get handed to welfare druggies after I die.Personally, I only buy new because every minor imperfection like a door ding or scraped doorsill makes me want to suicide. I'm a multi-millionaire and live brutally minimalist with almost no expenses. Cars are the only thing I spend on anymore, and even then, I only buy "cheap" ones under $50K because I'm an extreme value-driven miser.This lifestyle is NOT attractive to women. It's the polar opposite of IG aspirational #luxlyfe/last-minute trips to Europe/etc. Women are passive-aggressively competitive, even if they don't realize it. The more classically attractive the woman, the more she's influenced by normie social media brainwash.I'm not willing to patronize hookers or sugarbabies, so I guess buying new mediocre cheap sportscars every year it is.
Buy a final edition R35 or MKV Supra right now and park it for 10 years
>>28624352So you must always get the highest trim model, always?
>>28625611Guy is a poor coper. He wouldn't dare but a base model because he can only afford a shitbox or bus pass
>>28625709I thought if you are not a "coper", you buy the Z06, not the base one. Make up your retarded mind, you fucking brown busrider.
>guise should i sell this appreciating asset that will 10x in 10 years to buy this depreactiating liability that will be worth -$50,000 in 10 years yes
>>28621648The list of priorities when spending huge amounts of money goes like this:1. Nice house in a nice neighborhood2. Nice interior for your nice house3. Nice car to put in front of your nice houseSo unless you already got a nice house, keep holding.
>>28621679Why’s there another 911 in the back
>>28621679Well what did you answer to the guy at the stoplight?
>>28625786Belongs to a vascular surgeon. Also has a gt4 for track and does karting. Cool guy>>28625789Anesthesia
>>28625811I’m convinced that’s the most attractive job to many women
>>28624660No, they are like 33-35, that old and busted. I'm on my way to Financial Independence, even if I take the $100k hit from selling assets. I don't feel like I should be rewarding bad women.
>>28625752>1. Nice house in a nice neighborhood>2. Nice interior for your nice houseA man doesn't need either of these things. A mans family does, your advice is to settle down and anchor yourself before you even have a chance to get around.
just buy something nice and new and it will show that you have money. if that means you buy a sports car, do it. IMO id get a luxury Japanese car because if you are replacing an accord with a expensive sportscar, you are not thinking it through. most the time people have a cheap sporty sedan or SUV then keep a sportscar in the garage 6 months a year.
>>28621679Nothing makes my heart sink more about actually living in the DPRNY than knowing that hospital parking lots are bound to have 911s in their lots
>>28626288This guy also has an mc20 kek
>>28626288>DPRNYwhat
>>28626426not the poster but Democratic People's Republic of New York. because the government sucks extra hard there.
>>28621679>But it only attracts dudes.Exactly. When I think about it, men and women have been told bad and/or opposite advice. If rich career women wanted to bag a man, she should use her girlboss salary to buy a nice car. She will bag a young man EZPZ.If you want to attract women, a non-bully breed dog is a quick way to get that job done. Chances are she'll have a dog too, because furbabies are everywhere.
>>28621786>If you dont actually enjoy your hobbies now, then you never will.Listen to this anon, because dreams die from neglect. I'm finally starting going endgame on my rhythm game setup now that I can afford to. It'll be $8.5k-$10k when it's complete but so far it's money well spent. As far as gaming goes, it's a hell of a lot healthier than the alternative, and cheaper than spending the arcade equivalent expense. Given how often I play, it'll pay for itself in 11-13 months. It's probably not that much more expensive given how much a high-end rig and game library costs these days.Probably need a new pair of shoes too. They're falling apart from speed drills.>Your body is seriously going to start deteriorating in 5 years.Already has. My 30th birthday present was discovering signs of an autoimmune dysfunction. I have to relearn how to cook again because of the food ingredients that make me fall ill.>>28621817>i already feel like i'm rotting.That's a sign you need to get /fit/ and stay that way. You don't need to be insane, even long walks are sufficient to maintain health so long as you're not outeating your activity levels.
OP I think you should do it but I gotta be clear>Cars don't "attract" women in a direct way.Most women pride themselves on rejecting the dated "cars gets women" thing - they are more than happy to sit in your 2012 hyundai as long as it's clean inside and you don't scare them with your driving.BUTIf you do have a nice car - it can really bolster the opening impressions sale pitch. Think of it like the difference between economy seats and business class on a 3 hour flight - it's nice to have if you have it but not the point of being on the plane.>If not for women then why?Soft-boost of character stats : charisma, confidence, inner narrative.When I went from shit-car to car that makes guys go "nice" there was a lot that came with it psychologically. At the heart of it - I had arrived at a very tangible destination. No more driving pizza-boy-meets-need-for-speed cars and hello Big Boy 3L BMW.Pulling up to the social event and feeling "seen" instilled pride. Picking up women for those dates induced confidence. Even the supermarket feels good to arrive at.There was also the "started from the bottom now we here" feeling - something quite tangible that I could hold literally in my hands. It signalled my 20s were over and I'd finally built something of myself that I respected. I wasn't a fucking loser anymore, I'd got my grind on, got to where I needed to be with great sacrifice and now I Was Here. Car guys get to chat with other car guys and the price of being able to talk to fast car guys is a fast car. It's a nice feeling to chat shop once you've bought your way into the club. Women will roll their eyes a bit in the presence of it though.>Life isn't a fucking excel spreadsheetIf you wanna look back on 2025 as The Best Spreadsheet ever. Or you are more concerned about the long term trajectory of your bank account then decent cars are not for you.I say go for it.Worst case, sell 6 months from now and be down the depreciation.
>>28626206Who says I'd let someone else live in my house? Living alone in a nice House is the ultimate power move imo.
>>28627365If I didn't have a family, I'd still be living in an apartment. Way easier. No maintenance, no shoveling snow, etc. only con would be no personal garage.
>>28627469Haha, I've been considering buying land for an offsite garage facility because it seems more achievable than moving rn
