Should I Buy a Car...?

BoBoB They are beautiful and although i adore italian cars (my last car below) i sold mine as never use it!

When i was occasionally using a car I had a smart car which was so much fun and less harmful with its ickle 500cc engine :)

Remind me Toby how many of the cyclinders worked??? Such a beauty. Was always very jealous of your Alpha at work. Shits all over my old beater...

RPM cars are so bent it's unbelievable

lol

I am a bit scared to ask if 'bent' means 'gay' I mean it did about twenty years ago but in this day and age it could mean anything

it's even worse

oh no really, does the fact that its Italian make it worse or better?

listen SB,
I grew up trying to keep £50 bangers on the road, and when I finally earned enough money to get something decent I got an Alfa 145 Boxxer Coverleaf, gun metal grey. Got myself a nice credit card debt of 3.5k.

ran it into the ground for about five years, including one little shunt (the only accident I ever had in 20 years of driving)

at the end of the day, it was fun for the first month or two, then it just became like any other motor, a fucking liability.

cars are gay, man. all of them.

^^ best response ever

So basically, you have been there, got the T-shirt and it frankly it ain't worth the bother, not unless you actually NEED a motor

I don't get how having a car is gay and I am a little bit upset that you can use 'gay' in the prejorative sense whereas if I say council estate birds are all mingers I get called 'classist'

even the BBC use the word "gay" with the meaning "not very good" these days.

I only jest, no offence to any shirtlifters who may take offence, like.

BBC tried to ban the Pogues Fairytale of New York for the use of the word 'faggot'

and don't think you can get away with 'Shiftlifter' neither

you got to be a bit more cryptic

like the chocolate speedboat captain

or the crafty butcher

maybe he means ghey? RPM is only jealous because from what I can gather when he drives now he has to drive a big van and he dips his frankfurter in baked beans.;)

If you take the car then in six months don't want it / like it what are the consequences of giving it up?
If it it fairly minimal get the car see how much you drive it how useful you find it and how much you enjoy it.
If you are board with it after 6 -12 months get ride of it. You're not marrying the car. A car is not for life.

Can't do that Tommy I ain't bloody buying the thing and the minimum lease is two years I reckon I am doing nothing until I feel a greater need or a greater desire

Ah that makes it a bit of a shit. I see the problem. I haver never leased anything so don't know the details. Two years is quite a commitment, you might change jobs in that time and not need the car and be stuck with it. What about an Italian motorbike for the journey to work? Could be good for the distance and cheaper but still sexy and cool.

Tommy if you have ever seen me ride a pushbike I really don't think two wheels and a big fuck off engine is what I need

I really appreciate the thought

and the photo..:)

buddha giving up a car was the best thing i ever did, i'm so much happier with out one.

less hassle chris? sounds like me giving up television, just don't miss it

get rid of all the things you don't absolutely need, and don't accrue new stuff that you don't need.

it's almost Buddhism.

you really do feel better without all the responsibility of expensive possessions

That is a fffffantastiche car.

but a fantastic car is like saying the healthiest patient on the intensive care ward..

the-smiling-buddha less hassle chris? sounds like me giving up television, just don't miss it

dont miss it getting broken into ever other week, dont miss all the stress of driving, dont miss the lost money, dont miss driving across town to buy petrol that 6cents a gallon cheaper and with the extra gas used saving a total of 3 cents, dont miss paying for parking, dont miss calls from mates to get a ride. dont miss any of it.

Hej! car queers....

"sexy and cool"
"a beautiful, beautiful car"

You are so sad, flowing locks, the smell of freshly bathed female skin, hourglass curves, charcoal-dark eyes.....these things are beautiful.....

there's something wrong if you think some pieces of assembled metal and rubber are "beautiful" or "arousing"....weirdos...that is perverse.

I have two cars and a motorbike. One of the cars is a project car that rarely get driven. The other is a VW camper which I use on the weekends. Personally I would never not have a car.Thoough I use my bike to do pretty much everything else, having a car opens up a lot more places to my girlfriend and I. Its nice being able to drive to random places (geeky historical sites, isolated beaches that scatter the anglian coast etc).

What if it is a de rosa, or pinarello a colnalgo are these not beautiful things...? the smell of leather, a beautiful curve may not arouse one sexually but they can arouse our senses, for some people a car is a dull grey object, a bicycle is something that gets us from A to B, for others though, the aesthetics of these objects is as important as their function. Certainly I think the Brera a beautiful car and if it goes as well as it looks if would indeed arouse the senses too.

Why else would there be a bike porn thread if not to arouse and delight us mere mortals who can't afford such cycling delights!?
There is one of those Brera not far from where I live. It looks a very nice car - one of those that looks fast just sitting there.

awesome thread.

i especially enjoyed buddha's chocolate speedboat captain comment.

and the naked girls with the hairspray/motorbike.
