Oh don't worry. I waste plenty of money on my children.

Oh dear... Don't let Leblowski hear that you waste money.  His children will be raised of gruel just to prove a point.

[r0tor]

Absolutely correct. You're very stable and very smart ... a very stable genius.

Hey you sound like Trump!!!   Are you actually Trump and just playing out another one of your batshit crazy personalities?

...all this money obsession now makes so much sense...

[r0tor]

...Leblowski Guide to not looking cool...

Buy as much of a flashy posermobile as you can possibly afford.  Then proclaim you bought it because you were trying to not be cool - which is actually subzero super cool

Sort of, except I said "you" referring to your Trumpish tendancy to proclaim how much common sense you have, dumbass.

Believe it or not some people buy things because they like or want them, with zero thought as to whether it makes them cool. And zero thought does not mean "ooh I think this will purposely make me UNcool".

And no, you don't need to be a level 12.5 on a 10.0 "enthusiast" scale* to like or want something.

*where 10.0 means you do a track day once every 6 1/2 years.

Yeah I've never said anything remotely like that

So what was it about the Vette and M3 that appeals so much to a non-enthusiast?

The bad ride?  Bad gas mileage? I'd ask maybe if it wad brilliant packaging efficiency, but apparently the 4 door 3 series can't fit 2 adults and 2 kids.

Hmm if I wasn't an enthusiast and didn't care about image, then why would I drop the extra $40k over a base model 3er?  Let's see... Not any more practical.  Not any more luxurious .  Its definitely more flashy.  It's definitely louder and draws more attention.  Higher running costs.... Oh, maybe that $40k was worth it for the slightly cooler looking front bumper!!!  That's got to be it!!!

[r0tor]

Right, because you first need to buy some gormet take out and throw it away before starting them on gruel... But not organic gruel.  God no, organics are for people who waste money and want to show off.

So your claiming I just spread some False News???? 

Do like tweeting too???

Pumpkins!  Do pumpkins secretly turn you on????

This has been covered (all of this has really) in its own thread ... you can have an interest in something below the level of "enthusiast". I like and am interested in cars, as well as many other things, but am not what I would call an enthusiast and never claimed to be.

It would be stupid to say you need to be an "enthusiast" re every category people spend a discretionary dollar on (then again, your entire obsession/position here is incredibly stupid, as well as weird, have I mentioned your level of interest on this is fucking weird you must be a real chill non-controlling type).

Price diff isn't $40k, in fact a well equipped non-M 3-series was like $60k as I had it configured.

Nah, mainly just telling people how smart you are and a grossly inflated idea of the value/importance of your erroneous opinions.

It got entertaining. Then it got a little cringey. But then it got entertaining again

It's an amazing fact, but BMW actually sells 3ers below hardcore enthusiast grade!  Who the hell would have thought that?!?!?!

Sorry the difference is only $20k more.  It's really not that much more to pay for a nicer bumper!!!  It is halarious though coming from someone who thinks the world shouldn't drive anything more then a $25k CRV.

Had I bought a regular 3er it be selling that today as well

Nope, still not at $20k your math still sucks.

Not everyone needs a CRV but most people spend way too much on cars (and as also covered, most people aren't just not enthusiasts most have very little to no interest in cars). 

We keep going over the same info but we'll get you caught up yet Rotor.

[Lebowski]

What the fuck happened to this thread

Rotor is extremely passionate about what my sig other drives (and apparently now to add, what my kids eat).  Yeah, some people might find that weird, a little stalkerish even, but it's just Rotor being Rotor, he's an emotional trainwreck and prone to get angry over unimportant details of strangers' lives.

WTF dude... You couldn't get a 3er for less than $60?

Here is a loaded M sport AWD wagon... Think of the milfs you could have gone cruising for with your dogs at whole foods in that thing!!!



My math is clearly terrible

[Soup DeVille]

Hey, there's no reason to disparage the MILFs at Whole Foods in this thread.

[Lebowski]

WTF dude... You couldn't get a 3er for less than $60?

I didn't say you can't, I said the way I configured it came out to $60k+.

This goes back to the underlying point of you don't get to dictate other people's preferences, wants, or needs. Your obsession with telling me what I or my family are allowed to want is not a normal thing.

For example, I wouldn't deign to tell you you can't buy an SUV with a tiny interior to drive in snow that passenger cars are perfectly capable of handling.  Stop and take an "artistic" (bad art can still be called art I suppose) picture to document your make believe ruggedness for all I care.  Just make sure you finance the car so you can invest the spread.

[r0tor]

$60k?  Damn, you must have loaded tons of frivolous stuff a non-enthusiast would never need.  That does not sound too responsible at all!! 

It does do a great job at trying to justify an expensive poser purchase though

There's a like 3 1/2 year old build thread, why don't you direct your erroneous comments on how I should have configured a car three years ago there. I can only hope they'll be as intelligent and insightful as "replace the 4Runner you said you both like with an X1 that can't even fit the four of you + 2 dogs".
