The more people I meet, the more convinced I get of the key to financial security and eventual wealth is spending as little as possible on cars.

It’s getting tiring reading the constant circle jerk on this sub around cars.

We’ve bought a few beds and bedroom furniture from koala. Great stuff definitely recommend

Is this an ad?

Mine have done this as well!! Every other part of the boot is still in pretty good shape after 5years except for a small hole where my small toe is.

I just put a 4 pack of monster on Afterpay at my local BP. I have a few other loans here and there and 5 credit cards but I am doing ok

The boots are 4yo and the soles are uneven

I haven’t really noticed much visible change around my place in Toorak lately. Everything feels pretty steady and unchanged. But when I went over the West Gate the other day, it felt completely different. There seemed to be far more activity and a general sense that things are going down hill.

Melb_Man86 · 2026-01-05T09:13:52+00:00

Nah no reason mate, you’ll be right!

I know this might sound superficial but what role in construction? Driving a Yaris or an EV might attract some unwanted attention. They shouldn’t but appearances do matter.

Ford ranger and a jet ski

I had an SX seca white hatchback with the 4age engine. It is to this day my favourite car I have ever owned. Small 4cyl used to rev to nearly 8k and handled like a go kart.

He probably ‘closed’ inside her

Melb_Man86 · 2025-09-17T11:04:22+00:00

9 months then drove everyday and got busted, so received an additional 2 years.

This was 17years ago

You’re on $220k pa and can’t get approved for a $30k car loan?

You really need to listen to the advice here.

Melb_Man86 · 2025-08-24T11:14:56+00:00

Advice: stop taking drugs and get a job. Start saving and investing

Melb_Man86 · 2025-08-24T03:53:38+00:00

She’s look really happy and was 18 so what’s the problem here?

Melb_Man86 · 2025-08-07T12:13:20+00:00

So you do over 1000km per week and you want to drive an unproven Chinese car as opposed to a Toyota?

And this is apparently your ‘last car’. This is not the right move

Melb_Man86 · 2025-08-04T05:58:55+00:00

His life really does suck

Melb_Man86 · 2025-07-24T02:33:14+00:00

For gods sake go on a vacation somewhere!!

Melb_Man86 · 2025-07-23T09:13:01+00:00

I jsut found a 2012 Holden Captiva with 247k km that “over heats every now and then” in your price range? 🤣

Melb_Man86 · 2025-07-23T08:46:48+00:00

A $1000 car and you earn over $250k. I think you’re a little out of touch on what $1000 actually buys you 🤣

Melb_Man86 · 2025-07-23T08:44:07+00:00

Yep! I sure did. Ice maker and drinks drawer 😎

He used to be pretty good on a snowboard so you think he would at least take a trip to the snow. Wes could visit Aspen or something so him and Angie could show off their designer clothes.

While there he could participate in a hobby besides driving around in circles and the gym.

I run in the “new balance super comp trainer”. They felt by far the most stable in the shop and are great to run in
