I've noticed that most drivers don't own premium cars that they can afford. Why?

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

I live a fairly modest lifestyle but I do like my new cars:

This is the 2013 Nissan Altima 2.5S.

I enjoy the numbers in my investment accounts that give me a relatively stress free existence (in regards to financial concerns).
I also enjoy the lack of things that complicate my life and cause me to be concerned about their well-being.
Houses tend to cause me the most stress with upkeep and maintenance.
My cat concerns me at times with his ailments.
My wife's driving stresses me out ... I try not to spend much time in a car with her.

I enjoy how listening to a V8 being rowed through a 5 speed sounds out a dual exhaust as I drive away from another day of dealing with shietheads.

Some people drink. Some take prozac. Some go home and take it out on the wife and kids.

I drive a Mustang.

I know someone who used to live in Idaho. He said his UPS driver there had a Lamborghini. There were a lot of roads around there he couldn't drive it on but he would cruise around town on weekends.

One of the 710 drivers, single of course, has a Ferrari he drives in the summer.

Daughter visited this weekend with her 'new' Mustang.......2012 California edition.......all black...looks like night rider!! I forget the model name, but it was a hot lookin' car parked at an old couple's home.

It was most likely a GT California Special.

Couldn't pass on the deal I got. Traded in a 2012 Limited for the 2014 Overland and didn't pay more.

My center driver's rides include an AMG Mercedes, a BMW 745, a Honda S2000 and an Audi S4.

Similar story here. Love the sounds & smell from my powerstroke diesel in my F450. I'd drive that tank everywhere if my wife & kids felt the same way. Idk what their problem is with that.
No nice cars like you, just work trucks & keep my wife in something nice.

Just has to make you happy.

I love the sound, too. Can't afford one for amusement, so that's why I love watching racing as much as I do.

This one would make me real happy.

That 's it....tHat's what was parked at my house all weekend.

I know a driver that has a sweet sweet Escalade that's pimped out with hot rims and yup that is one sexy truck. But there's a catch! Bro is still single, why? Because he lives at home with mom. Sorry bro, chicks like a hot car, but bring her home to share a bed at moms house - es no bueno!

I've seen a nice 911 parked outside a singlewide. Priorities. Just not mine.

You should have taken it for a spin.

That vid of that kid crashing that brand new Shelby through the garage springs to mind. No insult to Moreluck intended.

I got an 03' 4 Runner. Works for me. Dependable, nice looking, holds it value. I got it 2 years ago for 8k. Only 148k on the engine and haven't had one issue. I'll probably keep it for a another 5-10 years. The V8 in that puppy is fun!

 

[MethodsMan]

Oh and my commute is 1.8 miles each way

Nice! Too bad its a California Edition. It probably has so much
extra pollution BS on it its no where near as high performance as it looks.
