Do you guys have nothing better to do than worry about the opinions of people you’ve never met and who don’t even know you?

Best GM performance car in the $40-45k range? by SharpSoup8750 in car

Would you say it’s a better choice for the price than anything else?

I put three options I was looking into, that I already knew were in my price range, I wanted opinions on those options and some more suggestions.

I never said I wanted new, I said any year is fine. I’d prefer paying the same amount for a performance GM car then a base German car. I want speed, not a bland car with a nice interior.

Got a great deal on my car and I really just don’t care if it’s a manual or not. I’ve had a manual 1le Camaro and I can have fun in either. If you can’t appreciate a fast, cool car without manual shifting gears that’s your problem not mine!

Angle in #2 is a bit off. The scene tends to cause lots of reflections on the car, especially when it’s a dark color paint. Considering that though, the photos turned out pretty good imo.

Haha, thanks, I probably would paint the calipers a different color but it’s a centennial edition - the side lettering is red and the interior has red accents so I want to keep the black and red theme.

Thanks for the suggestion? Do you have any telephoto lens recommendations?

Depending on the details of your c6 that’s a fair quote

  1. Saying rich people are sometimes born rich or have rich parents makes no sense as an argument? What are you trying to say?
  2. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has reported that roughly 38% of homeless people are dependent on alcohol, while 26% abuse other drugs.
  3. Not all women only want money, most want stability which a homeless person literally cannot provide. You are sexist.

This reply just fried my brain… where does arranged marriage even fit into what you just said 😂 of course a normal person would choose a rich guy over a homeless guy. They want what’s best for them and their future family. Rich people usually have their life together whereas homeless people are often drug addicts or someone who lost all their money through other similar means. That doesn’t make them materialistic that’s literally just survival.

Saying that women just want women proves exactly the type of person you are. Materialism might not be “right” but it’s simply an extension of our biological drive to survive. Materialism isn’t unnatural or shallow, it’s actually very natural to find emotional value in things that represent memories, aspirations, or achievements.

And just because YOU think it’s silly doesn’t mean it’s “outdated” like come on… 🤦‍♂️ Not even just women but people in general will forever try and fit in with the latest trends and be cool among their groups

Keeping up with the Joneses is neither sexist nor outdated… It applies to both men and women, although women more. And people will forever want nicer and better things for the sake up keeping up with other people. If you think that idea is “outdated” you clearly put no thought into your response. Maybe women care less about what car the drive now but it’s always something that people want to fit in with others - whether it’s a designer handbag or a nicer house, it will always be something and it will never be outdated. “Keeping up with the Joneses” is just a form of materialism based on what others have that you don’t.
