Question for Acura/BMW Owners

[dliv3ranc3]

What job do you have? It's an interesting question for me since I'm a college student and I'm picturing my future job right now in terms of the car I'll be driving. I'm hoping not all of you are lawyers / doctors / engineers / business owners ... cause the my econ major is going to be *bleh*.

 

[sygyzy]

I work for a defense contractor. Don't be sad, I was an business/econ major.

 

[ManSnake]

Sell drugs.

 

[robphelan]

my prev car was a bimmer 540.. computer programmer.

If you plan your future around the car you want to drive, you might find yourself very, very unhappy in about 10 years.

I'm not saying that's a FACT, but it's definitely worth thinking twice about. If you don't enjoy your work, your life could turn into a living hell.

LOL, I'm thinking maybe Honda. Technically, I'm a Management Science major which is going to get me a BS as opposed to a BA. Maybe I'll be able to afford two Hyundais!!!

Currently, I'm working at GNC as a sales associate. Haha. But then again my BMW is a 1982 320i, that I picked up for $1700(I got RIPPED OFF, they're worth a bit more than half that, but didn't know better).

You never specified if they were bought new OP

If it was completely based on what car I would drive, I'd completely agree. But I think every guy at least takes this into some consideration. I did when I dropped my structural engineering major.

Anyone can get a loan and be seen in an expensive car, so don't be fooled. The rich guy is probably the one driving a Camry.

I'm a sys admin, but I don't drive the TL because it's an Acura, I got it because of what it had not what it was.
