Looks at signature and then looks at post...

I am confused...



Regarding taking pride in ownership of cars. I once saw a GTR parked all far away in a Target parking lot.

I parked right next to him, hahaha He probably came out and was so pissed that I parked next to him out of all the open spots.

Oh I see how that could be confusing. That's my BMW history. Only the one that says (current) is actually current.

I used to have it say (sold) but it made my signature too cluttered.

Makes more sense now, haha

Get the X3

Seems that a WRX or GTI is a bit redundant

CL has lots of cheap cars(beaters) you can use during the winter then donate in the spring for tax purposes

Here's a perfect example of a $500 pos off of CL I plan to drive through 6-7' snow drifts

To go back to the original question, yes cheap is relative. Parking lots around me are full of fully optioned Range Rover sports, merc g class (ugly as hell and $120,000 base price), bentleys, the occasional Ferrari, and a lot of 911s.
So yes I do drive a cheap car at 64,000 base price...but the most fun of them all!

As echoed throughout this thread, it's relative... However, my initial justification for buying the E90 is that I can pay the same amount for a Camry and not necessarily like the car and regret my decision, especially since I've had to settle for cars a few times and loathed it, such as a grandma's car (91 Buick Century), then an 04 Sentra despite showing up at the dealer for an Altima (my family kinda forced me into it for lower payments, even though I was making more than enough money).

However, ever since I had a Solara with all the bells and whistles and now the E90, I can't go back to anything without leather seating, less than 200HP, or a CVT-equipped car (it feels like the car has no oomph if you can't downshift)...

Sold my m3 and bought a $3k corolla to make my 75 mile commute to work everyday and invested the rest into a house among other things.

Best and worst decision I've ever made

Anyone like driving a cheap car too? I do see people in here posting about their beaters.

There are times that I go to a place where I wouldn't want the attention of having a nice car.
