OK ... am I crazy ??? I'm no longer into over priced fancy cars..(cars i just bought)
 

OK .. I used to be all into fancy cars that cost a lot ... i guess to show off and what not .. as i posted already .. my wife needed a car for her and the kids .. she wanted Mini Van but i was able to slip out of that ... I ended up getting a Honda Pilot fully loaded / navigation /Leather ... sticker about $36k .. not bad .. after getting it ...I really like it and was shocked that I almost went for a $55k Yukon and what not ... then today ... find myself needing a commuter car to take to the office .. I end up getting a USED yes USED Honda Accord .. again Fully loaded 2004 with 36k miles on it ..it's Honda certified and I got it for $14k ..payments are like $240 a month .. It's just like my Acura TL-s type minus a few horses ... the car rides nice ...

Did I lose my mind ... I went from range rovers and acura's to Honda's ..and I'm happy with it .. I feel free that I no longer feel that social presser to compete and show off .. it's just to really nice practical cars ...what do you think .. is it age that is changing me ?? older wiser .

Nah just getting wiser with your cash.

Now that your saving so much though, you can contact me to spend some of it. :winkwink:

I have a pilot also and its a decent ride for the price. Works great for me having to drag lights/gear to shoots and still be able to fit a person or two in it comfortably...

You still listed the features of the vehicles, I think you're in a 10 step program :)

there's always ways to spend the green ..:winkwink:

I'll be in the office in the am .. I'll hit you up when i see you on ..:thumbsup

i guess your right .. even when getting the cheaper car i had to get the top of the line loaded ...:Oh crap

But i did buy the Accord used to balance it out ...:thumbsup

You got a wife..you dont need to step up to get a sick ass car to be happy..thats prob why! :)

I hear ya man. the ole $ dont seem to grow on tres lke the old days. I leased my last 2 cars. And I went to test drive a 535 with the wife last year. And right after words drove by the Nissan dealership. as we drove by she saw the new Maxima she was OHHH I LIKE THAT ONE!! I slammed on the breaks. We walked out with a new maxima and she liked it way more. As well I saved about 20K lol and the lease is only like $250 a month. LOL

the kids changed you

same thing happend to me with my kids.

that's what I'm talking about ... it's a car ...and the maxima will function just as well and i hear they are fun to drive .. I say good deal ..:thumbsup

i just got the honda element.

ermmm honda IS acura my man ;)
the NSX is called honda all over the world except in the US/canada if im not mistaken

I think everyone goes through the stage of wanting to show off. You eventually get out of it and realize there are much better things to put your money into. Either that, or you just don't give a shit what other people think.

My motto is:

"it's none of my business what other people think of me"

Good Taste in the ride

cool.
I will be on the look out. Oh my icq is nearly always invisable.

Yeah .. I know that .. it's all Honda Finance .. The acura is just their high end like Lexus/ Toyota .. I was surprised at how much nice the honda's have gotten ... almost as nice is my Acura's ... I'm glad i saved the money on the Pilot instead of the MDX ....:thumbsup

That Honda Accord feels the same as Acura TL because it's the same car dude... Acura TL is just a Honda Accord with a different body, and some bells and whistles added in... the engine, suspension, etc are mostly the same...

:1orglaugh mine also .. so hit me up even if you don't see me ..and I'll do the same for you ..

Yes I know ... I was paying more for the nicer leather ..more horse power and better suspension .. plus the body style was a bit nicer ..

My car is 10+ years old, I could buy a new one but I prefer to save for other things.

Personally, I still like my luxury cars. I find a big difference in how cars drive, and since I love cars I don't mind blowing my money on them to get what I like.

2 years ago I had an italian AlfaRomeo 156, really beautiful car to look at and it had nice engine sound, but as most italians it was a piece of junk that broke down all the time and it was the time of my life when I was riding in a taxi more often than in my own car. Showoff factor = high, but I ended up hating every bit of it and I cannot explain how much I loved my audi A4 that I got afterwards, everything worked and it has never let me down. I'm sticking with VW & Audi (german cars hold their value). Right now I got a golf :D and I can't remember if anything ever broke down on it, the car simply works and I don't care what others say (millions of those cars on the streets, boring, women drive them) fuck that - I'm no longer best friend to some car-mechanic lol.

Nice car Mikey :) my firs car was an accord

see it's old school playa ...:winkwink:

Out of curiosity just what do you do?

you do realize you only need one period per sentence right?


that "....." shit makes your posts really annoying to read.

I mean dont get me wrong. I like bad ass cars. But I dont take good enough care of em. I buy my shit to use. MY titan is pretty nice though. Wheels Tires Lift Kit, Power Chip, you know the small penis syndrome shit!

sorry man... I am way to young to approve this

I need the bling and the speed :)

But to each his own

I know I find myself doing it in emails now also. I have to stop :Oh crap

Exactly... Brands like Lexus, Infiniti, and Acura only exist in North America because of their obsession with social class and brand-name consumerism :winkwink:
