I'll be getting a Toyota Corolla, maybe a new one but probably one 1-3 years old with low KM. It doesn't draw attention and I prefer to remain low key.

Why would you want an expensive sports car that draws attention, costs a lot of money to maintain and insure and will lose value as the years go by. It's a massive waste of money, don't piss your bitcoins away on useless shit that you don't really need. If you must have one, lease one until the novelty wears off.

Of course, I say this as a man in his 30's. If I was in my late teens or early 20's, I would be going straight to the Porsche dealership.

The only big ticket items I would purchase is property.

I agree to a certain point.

If it does make it big, I am still going with a Tesla or some form of electric car. Despite it being expensive, it pays back for itself.

The main purchase I will make is to convert all of my family's vehicles into electric and our housing into solar. Never pay electricity or gas again.
From there, your children or grandchildren will thank you when they inherit a paid off car or house with no upkeep other than property taxes.
Thus, in this model, the rich get richer. Generate wealth is the key objective. I do see many other people just pissing it away on a Lamborghini or exotic car that has 20 MPG and high upkeep.

Just my .02

if buying an electric car, you'd need to keep it for a long time for it to be worthwhile financially.

as someone else said it depends on the time frame but if its in the next 5 years i'd just keep my car. It's a 2011 TDI vw golf... love it!

okay the newer porsches look cool......

I wouldn't buy a tesla because I think battery technology is too shitty. I almost didn't even buy a smart phone because of how bad battery technology is

The car with the least (or no) tyranny burdening it. Haven't figured out which vehicle that is, yet.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

Something in F series. Not sure if F-16 or F-14. Tomcat. Probably not 22. Too expensive.

Um, you should be Hodling, not selling at 10K.  It will go much higher than that.  Don't be greedy.

i think you may be the one being greedy. when/if it hits $10,000, no one knows where it will go.

Well I've invested a massive 80 dollars in BTC at 790, so if it comes through I'll probably just fix mine or add go faster stripes.

If I had to choose a dream car, probably a Dodge Viper. I hear they're shit to drive and quite ugly by todays standards but I've always liked them for some reason.

I think the point of the thread is if someone was holding your wallet hostage until you picked a car for yourself, to be paid out of your wallet, which car would you pick? (assuming the criminal was untouchable)

(I dont always get new reply notifications, pls send a pm when you think it has happened)

Wanna gimme some BTC/BCH for any or no reason? 1FmvtS66LFh6ycrXDwKRQTexGJw4UWiqDX Smiley

The more you believe in Bitcoin, and the more you show you do to other people, the faster the real value will soar!
