I feel the same way about both, I just assume the luxury car has a warranty and right or wrong these cars look ghetto

YES! Cams back with the Car threads!!!
Much Appreciated.....
Even though my medical profession doesnt allow me to drive cars like that, I still dream of customizing the hell out of an ol school or making a slab

So, you're now assuming they dont own a house?!So, everybody with a fixed-up car lives at home w/their parents, or is scraping by?!
Since when did we as shoe collectors have the right to tell people what they should spend their money on, like our hobby is any better?! Or question what they have in life because of it?
Apparently you don't seem to understand that it's perfectly acceptable for people to own more than one piece of property.
Property tends to appreciate in value. These cars, don't.
I find it hard to believe that these people's entire families are living good. Not cause i'm judging their family values or situation or whatever the hell reason you're gonna try to find, but simply because most people have way more people that they could be taking care of than they can handle.
So maybe i'm wrong, and these owners are all on some super baller stuff with their whole family rockin' mansions, but I doubt it.
And if it's like I say it is, then yes, I would consider this an ignorant, ridiculous waste of money.
(BTW, Jordans also tend to appreciate in value, unlike these whips. Not to mention they're hundreds of times less expensive.)
I'm not tryin to find hate at all. I honestly dont know why these threads bring up all these negative connotations...
I dont know the people that own these cars, and neither do you....or anyone else on here. So, I can't judge how they live and I certainly dont know where they live. It just seems whenever cars like these get posted, all the negative connotations and stereotypes get thrown around
It may be a waste of money. A lot of things are. But, life isn't always about what's going to make you money or what's going to appreciate. Some people just truly enjoy fixing up their car, whatever it may be...luxury, european, etc.
In regards to shoes/cars, I just dont get how we...shoe collectors, have the right to say what's a waste of money and what isn't. Not a day goes by where someone on here isn't making a statement about how much money they've wasted and "they're glad they're out of that phase".
I knew a guy who owned a Benz, and everybody thought he was ballin...BUT, dude was eatin Ramen Noodles damn near everyday tryin to maintain this "image"...like, he had wealth because of what he had, but could barely keep the lights on.
In regards to Jordans, or shoes in general, appreciating in value....that depends. I've seen WAAAAAYYYYY more amounts drop more than ever. Just a few weeks ago, a DS pair of OG Olympic VII's went for $225 shipped in the B/S/T forum...my size, too....damn shame considering they were $800-$1000 5 years ago.
To make a long story short, I wasn't tryin to "hate" or argue with you......I just dont understand why when these cars get posted, all the negative comments come out of the woodwork, BUT....when people on here post luxury cars, or anything but these, no assumptions are made.
And I feel just the same about anyone pushin' a big luxury whip if there's better ways they could be spending their money. Myself for example, I would need a couple milli to take care of all the people I feel obligated to. And until I get that kind of money, there's no way i'm spending tens of thousands of dollars on a hobby.
I understand where you're comin from. It sucks, though, cause I'm in the process of building one of "these" types of cars, and it's a shame that'll I'll be subject to this type of scrutiny, when it's the furthest from the truth. I've NEVER been to prison....hell, I've never even been to juvenile! I dont know what handcuffs feel like, BUT when I finish my car, people will think that I've spent a majority of my life in prison or that I live "in the hood".
In regards to "better ways they could be spending their money", if it's their money, I have no right to tell them what to do with it. People always say "paying $10K for rims is a waste of money", BUT...those are the same people who love the "Hellaflush" movement, and have NO PROBLEM buyin a new set of tires every month...the same people who'll dump $15K into a Civic motor, and still have no damn torque...or that'll buy a $85K BMW 745LI new, so it'll only be worth $25K in 4 years.
As far as "people I feel obligated to", I'm obligated to my wife and my kids. THAT'S IT. I'm all for saving and investing, but I also live and breathe this car stuff, and just like shoes, I'll always be involved in one way or another.
Who do you feel like you're obligated to? With a couple mill, that list must be pretty long!
