to those who choose the Old Porsche, the Triumph, that old jag and the alfa romeo,
If you really had $5000 to buy a car to commute to uni everyday, would you really be buying those?
of course , straight out!
it's TOTALLY WORTH IT!
Come on , you're only young once!! Don't wait to buy a Porsche like some guys for their middle life crisis! And don't wait when you're retired to buy a cabrio!
If you've got 5k and you can find a cool car for that price buy it !
You're young you shouldn't think about spaciousnees , MPG ,or reliability , don't worry because trust me these questions will come soon enough for example when you get married and have 2 children and the loan on the house to pay!!
differentiate yourself from others!
In my University everyone is driving 206, clios or puntos some of them are brand new so in fact these cars cost much more that 5k.
Plus If you don't live far away from the university it doesn't matter if your car is expensive to run or unreliable!
Personally if I had to choose between a brand new clio-punto and an old unreliable alfa romeo spider or a thirsty porsche 928 trust me it would only take one second to make my decision!
Just think when you're living in the morning , it's raining ,you're still lethargic because you just had 4hours sleep last night and you've got a 3hours test today, but just turn the key of you 928 and the v8 comes into life and you're smiling ! Why?
Because you know that in 8hours from now, even after failing this f** test when you'll go back to the university parking to pick up your car , you won't mistake it among the 1000 white Clios standing there!!You know exactly where your car is parked because you've got something unique and you LOVE your car it's not just some boring car to get from A to B.
You know you made the good choice when You've got your dream car and even more when it's a porsche and your 21 !
Sure it's expensive to run but boy is it fun!So use the occasion as long as it's possible !
Another example
It's Spring time you drive to the University in your Spider with the top down listening to "Journey" (
) and looking at the sky , you feel free and you don't want this instant to stop in fact you would like to drive for ever unlike everyone else in their 206s listening to the trafic informations, because in opposition to you their only goal is to get to point B as fast as possible.
I HAVE to commute to uni everyday because I've got to Study but at least I want to ENJOY the 10mins between Home and work
But of course if you're not interested in cars why bother?
In fact just buy yourself a Year bus ticket , it's much cheaper in every way !
So yeah for me an old porsche doesn't matter even if I can only drive it once a week and have to use my bike the rest of the week , the same applies for the triumph and the Alfa , it can break down, rust or fall apart , It's MY DREAM car .
EDIT: for the music in the spider better listening to colin hay "beautiful world"
