Go with the Camry man. my mid 2000s still running like a champ.
Pics or it didnt happen. /joking
‘08 Chevy half ton. Manual windows. No AC. Last big purchase I made before getting married.
Get a BMW or something. You make like top 10%ile income at least. Reward yourself
Get a Tesla! That’s my dream at least. 🙂
Subaru WRX! Sporty, AWD, manual.
I drive a BMW 4 series convertible or so I wish
Porsche Cayenne Turbo
2018 Chevrolet Equinox AWD. After last winter I had to get AWD. This winter one storm of note in the area. But this sucker is really nice. Panoramic sun roof. Safety features out the wazoo. The infotainment system is tops with Android Auto, Wifi hot-spot, On-Star and Sirius XM. The My Chevrolet App is great for remote start. It has a great ride and plenty of room for passengers. So far am getting 26 mpg in mixed driving. A. It's pretty peppy for a 4 cylinder.
And it isn't bad looking either:
And before you snicker about American cars the latest JD Power rankings show Chevy at #4 and this is not the initial quality study this is the study on 3 year old cars so the 2016 is the latest model year. Better than Honda, Nissan, Acura or BMW
Whatever car you get. Check your owners manual about top tier fuel. If you drive:

‘14 Ram 1500 (SLT) 4x4 Crew Cab...Big enough for wife and kids and good to get to my off-road fishing/hunting spots and haul loads across the state in the winter time.
Actually just installed a 2.5” lift and 35s terrain tires with an automatic-self-dropping running board with led lights. Yea, I sacrificed fuel economy for the backwoods.

Plain old 2010 Toyota Camry as a hand me down from my wife as she's bought into the replacement cycle and I generally have no enjoyment from driving here. Oil, gas, and fairly limited maintenance, it's a pleasure to drive for me. Wife drives an GS nowadays that will be my next car. I think she's interested in another Lexus and might want to go even more insane with the LS (trying to convince her not to on size grounds).
I still have my used 1998 Supra at my parents' home that was my youthful indiscretion buying it at a government auction for basically nothing, because you had to entirely replace the upholstery, and they don't make cars with that balance of solid engineering and irresponsible handling anymore.

I have a 2009 camry with 185,000 miles. Once it hits 200,000 I'm getting a used Tesla Model 3 or Genesis G70.
My first car was a 95 Camry. That sucker ran up to 270k miles and then it got hit. Still drove itself onto the tow truck but because it was so old, it got totaled out.
2008 Mercury Sable
2015 Ford Fusion Energi
Both bought 3 years old. Only suckers buy new. I appreciate them taking the depreciation hit.

For cars like that, that's definitely true. Not true for Audi, BMW, and Mercedes. Only an idiot would buy a used one in that class.
2005 Toyota Camry that's been in an accident, the tail light is busted, and the protectant at the bottom drags on the ground and makes a scratching noise that catches everyone's attention. IDGAF. It's the first vetting process for dating - can you ride this ride?
Audi, BMW, Mercedes are like women you only date but never marry. Really pretty but also really high maintenance.
Slippery path to lose $1-2M in retirement. $120k is sh1t pay nowadays, we don't make 350k/yr like MDs.
Cut the plastic off, that's engine cover, you most likely don't need it. Or, you can replace it for $45.
Came here to see a s**tiest car competition. Was not disappointed.
Hey! I take exception to that! Mine isn’t a car!
You know much a 1998 Twin turbo Supra is worth right?

Am currently driving a genesis g80. Thought about trading it in for g70 or something cheaper. Anyone have a camry? How does that drive?
Yep. Blows my previous Audi Q7 out of the water.
Yes, I do. If I sold it today, I would make a 400% profit, I suppose (bought it for $18k and spent $4k with the overhaul). That was the hardest $22k I ever earned though, so I'm a bit sentimental about selling it. If I ever loved driving, it would be in that car. It's honestly the best sedan that Toyota ever made in the States, the Lexus LS not even holding a candle.
You have not heard of a lease? Just put a few thousands down and you get to borrow the car for 3 years!
You are a pharmacist. You don’t want your friends and family to think you are not doing well right?
You are a baller with $200 k in student loan! That is how you roll (at least until you returned the car to the dealership).
YOLO
YOLO! Until you want to buy a house! That is when you discovered your lease (aka long term borrowing) and your monthly car payment caused your debt to income ratio to explode and therefore, you can’t get a mortgage. #adulting
Oh, and good luck refinancing your student loan to a lower interest rate. You may not qualify because of your car lease.
Model 3?!? Are you cheap or something!? Go all the way to Model S, X! You have been a pharmacist for how many years now? You are not a new grad. You deserve it!
But you’ll look good in that lease while allowing your student loans to balloon toward 300k. Mortgage is over-rated..It’s cool living in the parents basement right?
Did the fun car thing for a while, but its not fun when youre making the payments.
2013 Prius, 2016 Tundra, 2003 PT GT Ive had since brand new
If we move abroad well rotate through our 90s dream car collection: Celicas, Evos, Land Cruisers, Prados
If we stay another hybrid and another truck

Trust me I've thought about it but I just can't see myself spending $90k on a car. I'd rather get the 3 and put the difference into real estate.
Continental True Contact. Great tires. Just put them on my wife's car. The ride really improved....
I ain't got student loans, brah. I'm upgrading to the c7 corvette next month.

I had a pharmacist who was so proud of his corvette he told every techs if they want to see his car. He got fired shortly after. He moved to BFE and got a job there after 8 months of unemployment. He said he wiped out all of savings paying rent + car in HCOLA while looking for a job lol.
I should probably actively encourage other people to spend money on new cars and to spend, spend, spend while saving minimally. That makes my index funds go up and my selection of used cars cheaper in the future.

Currently in a 2001 Chrysler Town & Country. It's not much but it's mine and paid off. Right door doesn't open.
I always like driving busted up cars. I drove this one car that had been in a few accidents everything busted up, no front end, broken windows replaced with garbage bags. I felt like everyone on the road respected me and wouldn't cut me off because they thought "wow look at that guys car, he clearly doesn't give a &&&& about crashing into ppl I better respect his personal space on the road.
how do you get fired for just asking ppl if they wanna see your car? unless he was like hitting on female techs?
