Short and sweet.
About 6 months ago karma visited me while I was in a car park.

My car is not fantastic, it is an e-reg fiat panda. I was parked next to a pretty nice car, BMW something. BMW driver and I return to our cars at the same time.

"Nice car" BMW driver sneers before jumping into their car. Now I am not sure of the BMW was a new acquisition for this driver but he seemed to have forgotten where reverse was and instead of reversing at speed out of his parking space and leaving me in a cloud of dust he drove straight forward into the wall of the car park.

I smiled and waved on my way out.

yay..
..I'm with you, drive old cars.


A car is a tool to get you from where you are to where you want to be. A super-duper luxury car is like owning a gold plated spanner.

Unless you are really into cars for their own sake of course, then it's a hobby and you can go mad.

Agreed! The way I see it, anyone who drives a super-fancy car has no understanding of the basic concepts of finance, and why you should invest your money in things which appreciate in value rather than depreciate.

this QOTW is making me feel bad
On my P Plates, red ones at that, I was often to be espied driving a BMW 3 series. People got mad at me, yelled at me, were extra dangerous around me and generally behaved as if I was a spoilt brat.

Not realising that the BMW is my in-law's car and I'm only driving it coz I'm too povo to have my own car at all. Every other day I took the train.
