My first car was an 11.5 second 1970 LeMans. I loved it. I've had domestics from economy (75 Mercury Bobcat) to land barge (68 Catalina (400 CID Pontiac block (the big wedge, not that pissy thing GM makes now, with) with 13.5:1 compression - SHE FLEW, but didn't corner for shit). I've also had my fair share of imports, including a factory v6 MGB Tourer, an 81 Fiat Brava coupe that was one of the best handling cars I've ever driven, a couple Sciroccos, and a handful of other rides. I haven't loved any of them the way I love this car. A car is an extension of yourself. Fuck demographics, fuck what other people think. If it's your ride and when you get into it you feel right, then that's all that matters.

I think most people are of the opinion that as you get older your finances should improve. Once your finances improve, you should buy something that match your newer finances. Of course, its this type of attitude that causes people in our society to live paycheck to paycheck, regardless of whether they make $25,000 a year or $150,000 a year.
I wouldn't worry about it. Drive what you want. If its a CB, great! Lower taxes, lower insurance premiums, less "arrogance" effect ("Yes, I drive a MERCEDES. Look how I'm better than you"), and one hell of a great car. Plus, most likely you'll get out of a lot more tickets in an old CB at your age than you would in a Jag. A bit of confusion is good for cops

I'm also 38 and I've owned my CB since I was 22 years old. I get people telling me all the time I should buy a new car. I'm well off enough that I could pretty much buy any car I want to, if I felt like it. In fact I did buy a new truck, paid it off and then sold it after 2 years. The CB is my only car now. I can think of many more important and worthwile things to spend money on, than a new car.
I tell people that I am a mechanic, and working on cars is my hobby. I have no need to waste money on a new car. What for? New cars become old in a few more years, then what, buy another new car? It doesn't make any sense to me.

the car you drive, how it looks, and how you drive it is all up to you. i believe my car is an expression of myself. ive never really had anything my whole life so once i got my first car, i knew what i liked, and i knew that i was going to work my ass off to do what i can to it. on my third car now and still doing it. i liked the feeling of being able to control it. ive never had that before. a rough neighborhood, financially stressed family and partially homeless backround made me the way i am today. and i love it. i love my "little honda" because its mine! i can do whatever i want to it. i can incorporate my taste into the style and performance of it and i dont care what anybody thinks or says about it. people can bash on little "riceburners" all day, but in the end, its what YOU like and what YOU want. thats the pursuit of happiness my friend.Last edited by Pazzword JDM; 11-17-2009, 10:17 PM.

I've had my CB for 9 years now, still no where near being done with it, so by then I'll probably be as old as you are now. Drive what makes you happy, don't feel like when you turn 40 gotta go buy a buick.
