I bought my car specifically because of my small penis. But I don't rev it at stoplights because it has a V6 and I'd lose.

But it looks awesome.

But back to cars... Since it seems like price isn't really a big issue for you, why not just get what will make you happy? What will you be happy driving for a while?

A car is NOT AN INVESTMENT!!!!

Sorry, but I hate when I hear this bullshit. Yes, there are rare exceptions when you buy a vintage car and never drive it, but whatever model King buys will not appreciate in value. It is a waste of funds, not an investment.

Why people who have enough money to buy a luxury car but don't have the common sense to understand elementary economics befuddles me.

I'd never put a bumper sticker on my car, but if I did it would read "I Don't Have To Overcompensate For Anything".
The only one that I'd ever think to put on mine is "(Actual Size)"

And yeah, a car is a tool, not an investment. It can help make you money, it's transportation and freedom, but, it's not an investment itself.
You understood that wrong.

I meant a 1 time payment for my transportation needs for the next 6-7 years. Where I live is Hot. When its 59F we wear our coats. Humidity is very high. No one walks, there is no sidewalks. You can't use a bicycle for same reasons. Public transportation almost non-existing.

So if you plan to leave your house, you need a car.

I didn't mean the car will increase in value

Not saying you are at all. But I will say I have no clue why you have two muscle cars and muscle two trucks (one crushing other vehicles) if you weren't trying to make a "I'm a manly man" statement.


Because muscle cars are fun to drive.



Crushing cars is fun too.

Thats the thing. What will make me happy is a reliable mid-sized luxury brand car that has a smooth drive experience. This is why I started this thread for advice on similar cars.

I dont want a sporty car with a hard suspensions or whatever its called.
I dont want a tiny small economy car.
I dont want a super fast car with 600+ V12 engine.

I just want to know if any of Mercedes,Lexus, BMW, or Audi are reliable enough(or most reliable).
and when where the current models were out and when should I expect a change.
So... you want the car part to be basic, but the luxury to be high end? That's hard for me to say... If I was going out of what you suggested, I'd personally get a performance Audi, or some sort of BMW. I personally can't comment on reliability of those, or when new models are coming out, but I've heard a lot of things about Lexus's being really unsafe.

Personally, I like 'em fast and loud. I'm not a total gearhead yet, but I'm working on it. I went ahead and buy my dad's most recently bought truck, a '78 F150 with a 460 and some performance parts the previous owner put on it. (The motor has been bored to a 472, but most people don't understand the whole concept. I also recently had to redo the distributor and coil recently. 50,000 Volts FTW.)


Js, do you own all those cars and trucks right now, or have they been spread over time? Out of the pics, the only one that came off as douchey to me was the last one on top of the cars...

To be honest with you I am not at all into modding the cars or getting a fast one. speed limit is like 60mph

Why would I buy a car that will give me 186mph , ill pay a lot more for the car and more in speeding tickets and more in insurance and risk my life

Oh good. That means you'll likely put yourself in the hospital or the ground before I ever have to run across you on the open road.
