Sports/Sporty cars at work (or school)

[mazda6er]

Alright, you guys all now what I'm talking about, those bastards in the parking lot at work or school with a very nice ride.   :angry:    What sweet sporty/sports cars do you see in the lot of your workplace or school everyday?

As for me:

back in H.S. -> Lexus IS, Hummer H2 (not really sports cars, but worth mention for a H.S. lot) and some teacher had a Z3

work (grocery store) -> SRT-4, 5-series (still haven't found out who has that)

college (R.I.T.) -> a few 350Zs, a few Corvettes, a Viper, a Porsche 944, and a whole slew of luxury sport sedans.

Now post yours.  :)

Nice things in the parking lot? Not much to speak of, a current-gen S430, a 1970s Seville, a Z4, occasionally an old Triumph.

High school - really, the only car I can remember lusting over in high school was a red Porsche 944 that belonged to a guy who lived on my street.

Work - everyone I work with drives pickup trucks.  I'm not really a pickup truck person.

College - Many many nice cars at college.  350Zs, G35s, BMW 3 series, WRX STi, Lancer Evo, Golf R32, Corvette, RSXs, A4s, at least one M3, Saab 9-3s, and there used to be a kid around with a Jag XK8

Those are just the sportier cars, though.  There are quite a few luxury sedans and SUVs running around my school.  Given the amount of snow, SUVs are really popular.  Lexus RXs, BMW X5s, an Audi A8, Infiniti FXs, Hummers (a couple of H2s and I swear I saw an H1 last year).

[mazda6er]

Forgot to mention, the dean has an XJ.

[Raghavan]

Audi A8l, New Beetle Cabrio (don't see many new cars), MK1 MR2, Integra GS-R, lots of nice E30 3ers, and a Nismo S-tune Z.

[Raza]

Back in the day, there was my E320, two Corvettes (one coupe, one vert, both automatics   ), a sweet five speed Mustang GT (low 13s quarter), but that's about it.  Endless Lexus SUVs, and higher end Toyotas and Hondas.

[Fire It Up]

Oh, my old elementary school principal has a porsche 944.

[BMWDave]

BMW M3 Competition Package, BMW 330ci Performance package, then your run of the mill cars, with some Lexus and MBs thrown in.

nobody there has any nice cars, my boss drives a Jeep Liberty, the other shift super drives a beat up old camry, 2 of the pharmacists drive SUVs (CRV and Pathfinder), the other pharmacist drives a Pontiac Sunfire, and one of the photo lab techs has an olds bravada.  Most of the part-timers there are in high shool and walk/bike or get rides from there parents.    <_<

:edit: I just remembered that our new district manager has a mid 90's Benz SL   B)

Why is a pharmacist driving a Sunfire? They make like $100k a year.

I have no idea.  For people that are payed a crap load of money they drive 3 boring cars. The sunfire is the worst, its bright yellow   :blink:

Because everyone knows you need to make 250k a year to have a nice car.

That would imply that they would rather spend their money on something else, or save it. Not everyone needs to or even wants to flaunt their income in what they drive.

My parents (mom) is like this.  She drives a $3,000 1997 saab but there are a few houses on the lake (small pond) we are on that are selling for 1.5-2.5M.

I understand that, but the Sunfire is pure crap, a Corolla isn't exactly pretentious or anything yet it is a much, much better car.

[Speed_Racer]

Wow...thanks for making this thread.

Nicest cars at my old highschool:
- WRX
- Audi A4
- BMW 3 series

At College
- BMW X5 4.4
- Boxster S
- Brand new 330i
- M-B of all sorts
- Escalade
- Escalade EXT
- Saleen Mustang (no lie)
- Audi A4
- 300C
- Land Rover Discos
- Range Rover Sports (2 of those)
- Cayennes
- Hummer H2
- M3's

Pretty much, it's rediculous. And these kids can't drive either. As in they drive like retards. Not to mention these cars are always dirty, because they don't take care of them (because they didn't buy them, of course).

It just bothers me to no end.

 Were did I hear that from?

Clearly they thought it was a "sports" car. I'm really not joking.

Glad to be of service dude.

A Sunfire is much cheaper, especially used vs. used, and the pre-2003 versions were never very good at much more than fuel economy and durability.

Ha ha...If you make 250K a year you can surely buy a very nice car.  If you make 100K a year, I bet you won't drive a 90K car.  Make fun, but don't come to me when your paycheck can't cover your expenses.

Where'd you get the idea that I want a freakin' AMG or something? Right now I'm only considering low-rung sports cars (i.e. 350Z, Mustang) and entry-level lux sedans(i.e. TSX, 325i). 90% of the people in America could "afford" those cars, and I should be making enough to do so comfortably. If I'm not, then my plans will be adjusted, that's the way it goes. Surely as an auto-enthusiast and someone of a less-than-plebian background you don't see yourself driving an econocar, right?  <_<

Roughly,  you could spend about half your gross annual income on a car, not more, unless you have other savings/investments/other forms of income.  And if you think 90% of America can afford those cars, you better tell that the millions of people who make 10-15K a year.  

No, I don't see myself driving an econocar, unless it's a fun econocar, and I used it as a daily driver.  Then again, my first car was a new E320.
