I just tell people the truth.... "I wanted a new Scion FRS but I couldn't afford it so I bought this used Porsche." (2001 C4)

Once they realize I am telling the truth the envy pretty much vanishes.

I even get a similar reaction when I'm on my bike!

Cuda911

I overheard my cousin telling his father in law " See, I told he he was a rich SOB."

The first car I owned was a 2009 volkswagen rabbit, cost me about 16 brand new. It was all I could afford at 18 after having worked only a year to save some down payment. Went to plenty of car meets and shows and the guys with the turbos and faster cars would always give me **** for it...after paying it off and saving patiently I figured now at 24 years old I would just skip a level or 5 and bought myself a 99 911...little do they know it cost me less overall than the rabbit so I generally do not care for for what people think, I embrace the boost in self esteem for following the dream (never brag though)

Like everyone else I worked my butt off and was able to buy the car of my dreams. I realized that the perception would rub most people the wrong way so I didn't advertise that I had bought it. I didn't upload on my Facebook page and I deff dont drive it to church. People are a funny bunch and tend to place emphasis on what others have done that they haven't and try to justify that to themselves.

and made sacrifices, by choice, to have the car of my dreams!

So here I am, living that dream every day and really don't give a sh$t what anyone else thinks.

I hide in a separate parking area away from everybody and half the office knows I walk to work so they didn't make a big deal. I work with high-earning producers so there are a few new 997s and high-end MBZs that really shine.

Please post bigger picture of bike, I can't quite count your nose hairs.

I had a meeting with my bosses boss a few weeks back and mentioned the car and that I was able to get it thanks to the job. She said something like "that's yours, we were wondering who we were paying that much too to afford that car."

Can't wait to get my Rolex!

Heh - I just noticed that's a small-block V8 bike. That's pretty sweet.

The only envy I have is from Porsche itself....I purchased a new 2015 Cayenne S....and the manufacturer is so envious that unlike other manufacturer, has not even bothered after 3 months to even send a letter acknowledging the purchase.


Needless to say...really enjoying driving the cayenne.

JD - Those exhaust pipes must keep your ankles nice and warm!

Yep, it happens. That's why I keep all mine at home, and have very few visitors.
