Why don't people buy a real car?
It's crazy with all the money people dump into a car they could of saved up an bought a real sports or muscle car. Instead they'd buy a Honda, Volkswagen, or Mitsubishi. An waste money from car lowering it, buying bodykits or horrible rims that don't even help with performance. Can't forget a big spoiler, painted rims or a painted hood. Or cheap aftermarket parts.
Like honestly why not save up a little drive a pos an leave it the way it is?
None of those cars you mention are worth anything to me… Why would you waste your money? Muscle cars are for kids. I had a Lotus when I was a bachelor but I sold it to pay for the birth of my second child. I have had two Volvo station wagons, a few sedans… Today I drive a 12 year old Prius that has never stranded me and is 1000 times more reliable than the Lotus was.
Bob's answer says it all - muscle cars are all about image. Women do it with clothes; men do it with cars. Same with the mods… Girls play dress-up with dolls, boys play dress-up with cars.
It all comes down to how serious we're about getting on with the business of life. At work I drive an F350 SD 4X4 because it is what is needed to get me to work sites, especially when there's snow on the ground. If the snow is too deep, I drive the snow cat. When I get off work the Prius is the perfect car. It does not want money all the time and is always there when I need it. When I need hauling capacity I rent a truck. People who don't know me probably think all sorts of things about me but it doesn't affect me a bit.
Our egos are not wrapped up in the horsepower of our cars.
We need them. Without them, what would muscle cars shi* on?
Can you be more specific please?
- Why people buy those POS Harleys? Why don't they buy a Hayabusa? Harleys are low, long, heavy and expensive. Whereas Hayabusa is comparable to a Bugatti Veyron. Plus, Hayabusa in made in Japan, so it's got Honda like reliability. Harley, on the other hand, break down all the time. So… Why people buy Harleys? Must be a baby boomers' thing which a millennial like me would never understand!
- Why don't some people like a Honda car? It seems like some people dislike Honda. Why don't they? What's your opinion? I think it's a great brand. Hondas are well built and built to last in my opinion.
- Why don't more people buy Subaru? You just can't get a better deal for an AWD vehicle under $30,000. They are just as reliable as Nissan and Honda and have good mpg. Please no anti-Japanese car remarks, boring does not count as an answer.
- Why do some people buy new cars to save gas? It seems like people complain about high gas prices so they go and buy these expensive gas saving cars. Usually a Honda or Toyota hybrid that's about $35,000 dollars. So what's the point of buying the car if you just wasted all that money. You could have just used that money for gas. Don't you think it's better to just buy a cheap $1,000 dollar Honda and save all that money for gas? Because buying the new car you pretty much threw all the money away.
