Cosign. When I was looking at the pics on page one, the thought going thru my head was "I cant be the only one who wouldnt want a single one of these cars."
Hey, everything doesn't appeal to everybody......and that's what makes this hobby so great; the diversity.
Fittednoob: How can a car be "ignorant"?
So, you're now assuming they dont own a house?!So, everybody with a fixed-up car lives at home w/their parents, or is scraping by?!
Since when did we as shoe collectors have the right to tell people what they should spend their money on, like our hobby is any better?! Or question what they have in life because of it?
Apparently you don't seem to understand that it's perfectly acceptable for people to own more than one piece of property.
Property tends to appreciate in value. These cars, don't.
I find it hard to believe that these people's entire families are living good. Not cause i'm judging their family values or situation or whatever the hell reason you're gonna try to find, but simply because most people have way more people that they could be taking care of than they can handle.
So maybe i'm wrong, and these owners are all on some super baller stuff with their whole family rockin' mansions, but I doubt it.
And if it's like I say it is, then yes, I would consider this an ignorant, ridiculous waste of money.
(BTW, Jordans also tend to appreciate in value, unlike these whips. Not to mention they're hundreds of times less expensive.)
I'm not tryin to find hate at all. I honestly dont know why these threads bring up all these negative connotations...
I dont know the people that own these cars, and neither do you....or anyone else on here. So, I can't judge how they live and I certainly dont know where they live. It just seems whenever cars like these get posted, all the negative connotations and stereotypes get thrown around
It may be a waste of money. A lot of things are. But, life isn't always about what's going to make you money or what's going to appreciate. Some people just truly enjoy fixing up their car, whatever it may be...luxury, european, etc.
In regards to shoes/cars, I just dont get how we...shoe collectors, have the right to say what's a waste of money and what isn't. Not a day goes by where someone on here isn't making a statement about how much money they've wasted and "they're glad they're out of that phase".
I knew a guy who owned a Benz, and everybody thought he was ballin...BUT, dude was eatin Ramen Noodles damn near everyday tryin to maintain this "image"...like, he had wealth because of what he had, but could barely keep the lights on.
In regards to Jordans, or shoes in general, appreciating in value....that depends. I've seen WAAAAAYYYYY more amounts drop more than ever. Just a few weeks ago, a DS pair of OG Olympic VII's went for $225 shipped in the B/S/T forum...my size, too....damn shame considering they were $800-$1000 5 years ago.
To make a long story short, I wasn't tryin to "hate" or argue with you......I just dont understand why when these cars get posted, all the negative comments come out of the woodwork, BUT....when people on here post luxury cars, or anything but these, no assumptions are made.
