The coolest car I've seen with my own two eyes

>>28480945 (OP)
>automatic
>cool
nigger.

>>28480964
ur 3k civic is def cooler

>>28480964
You can get these cars with a manual retard.

>>28480945 (OP)
nice fish

>>28480978
nobody who has ever purchased this piece of shit has opted for a manual and you know it. my old CEO bought one and ofc it was an auto kek.
>>28480970
my 91 e30 325is and my 95 ls1 swapped e36 m3 gt are most definitely cooler than whatever that piece of shit is. the amount of attention those two cars get is unreal.

>>28480996
I genuinely can't tell if you're being serious. I'm glad you like your cars anon, but the idea that a 325i is cooler than an aston martin dbs is laughable.

>>28481016
I'm being dead serious. I basically live at my local track (mosport) and go to meetups weekly. Every single time I'm at the track or a meet I have someone talking to me about my car when I'm near it, taking pictures and shit. Parked in a sea of dentist-mobiles like this. Who finds that POS cool? It's just a standard "I have money and want a sports car" purchase, which nobody cares about, unless you're in the upper echelons of hypercars and even then the only people that find it cool are 15 year old latinos at the crosswalk.

These types of cars get far far less attention because there's no soul in it. It's a handbag purchase for men. Doubly so if it's a autotragic.

It is a dentist car.

>>28481018
Are you aware just how little soul is in a 325i? It was a mass produced low tier car for the masses. Nearly the lowest trim from a mass market brand. They're a dime a dozen. I'd bet that more dentist's own BMWs than Astons, that's pretty fucking obvious.
The DBS has a hand built 6L NA V12 signed by the engineer, comes with a manual if you want it if you're so obsessed with playing with levers, and looks absolutely stunning.

>>28481018
Your cars are the standard "I DONT have money and want a sports car" purchase lol

>>28481018
>perfectly balaced car with everything 6 or above.
>handling comfort accel etc

yeah and my 100bux thinkpad is best laptop ever

>>28481048

Brown hands samefagging.

Do you go outside? Genuinely asking. It could have a 2000HP jet engine for all I care, none of that makes it cool. It is a soulless modern car with terrible curves.

Literally nobody cares about specs on a car you can't work on like you can an old car. It's a modern complex piece of shit.

You pull up to the track or a meet, and nobody cares because it's just a purchase. I have put 100's of hours into my cars and I can talk about them all day, and it is a joy to do so with other car enthusiasts who know what they're talking about.

Rich guy cars don't turn heads as much as my beautiful and perfectly maintained shitboxes. Have fun touging in your expensive aston martin that you're afraid to get a scratch on. Meanwhile I'm at drift meetups, ripping it on the track, and generally hooning around.

I cannot find a single benefit to owning an expensive modern sports car or a hypercar.

>>28481051
I would go so far as to say you not only couldn't pay me to own/drive one, but I would be genuinely embarrassed driving one of these. I rented a continental GT for my friends bachelor party and I literally felt like the biggest faggot ever.

>>28481018
Anon, I'm a track Rat and ain't no one taking pics of your 325i
Or whatever base model you have.
Why?
Because there's a fuck ton of basic bitch BMWs at track days

>>28481058
>I rented a continental GT for my friends bachelor party and I literally felt like the biggest faggot ever.
yeah that would be pretty embarassing to be seen in, but would be great to drive around. social context/perception=/=what car does in raw sense(not talking hp and 0-60)

>>28481060
Yeah and we're all taking pics of each others cars and boosting each other up and it rules. POS half finished indian project cars need not apply. There is nothing better than seeing an old car in absolute pristine condition, tastefully restored/modified.

What makes things cool is the work and knowledge that went into them and the result, not the fact that you own something expensive. It is much cooler seeing what a guy did on an average salary than some autismo who can click a buy button.

It's why the guy with a $120k E30 M3 also doesn't matter, everyone knows its a rich guy purchase. 15 years ago when they were $10k they were cool because they were a platform you could do something cool with. A luxury vehicle will never be a platform.

I'm currently hunting for a good condition 126 that I plan to rice out into a performance drift car.

>>28481070
The only thing I can say about it is that it was comfortable. Anyways, I don't care about complexity and shit I can't wrench on.

>>28481051
You sound like you just hate nice things because of the price tag. Poor cope I guess.

>>28481082
Do you want me to effort-post about why I actually think they are gay?

>>28481084
I'd be interested to hear it I suppose. You haven't actually pointed to anything about the car that makes it bad other than the price tag..
If you're going to effort post, just remember that the car is built as a grand tourer - it's designed to cross continents. Don't be retarded and criticize it for being bad on the "touge"

>>28480945 (OP)
What car is this

>>28481096
Let's start with the price tag. Why do I not like things with a high price tag? Because in current year it is completely decoupled with value. Price tag especially within the car world is simply a signifier of luxury past a certain point. There aren't $200/$300/$400k worth of parts inside of it. So yes I see price tag as something entirely fake thought up by busy bureaucrats with only KPI's and margins in mind. Fundamentally, I already don't "trust" it.

The second and most important thing for me is that it is not designed by a human. Because we do not have smooth and globally defined solutions for the navier-stokes equations, we make up for that gap by throwing computational power at it, meaning we can only incrementally improve aerodynamics in a bayesian way.

Ever since we've been able to run millions of windtunnel and aerodynamic simulations in the 80's/90's, cars designs have started to converge heavily. There are only so many ways to skin a cat, or in this case, design a door panel for greater MPG. It's why every single door card since the 90's/2000's looks the same with only slight variations. Every SUV looks like every other SUV. Every sports car looks like every other sports car.

My point is, when I look at old cars, I know I'm looking at a story. That there was some guy somewhere obsessed with the car and designed every curve carefully. You just didn't have the technology, it was all human oriented, tested and designed by people spending countless hours at the track taping bits of yarn all over it. It had soul. It's why old cars are so wildly different to each other.

>>28481126
2/2

When I see a modern car, I see design-by-committee, the influence of girlbosses, and computer generated design. This all converges to form nothing, there is no beauty in it for the same reason there is no beauty in talking to an AI girlfriend. It's the same thing. I see nothing timeless about any hypercar or that aston martin. It is just another variation of a variation of a statistically built car.

Technology past a certain point concentrates just like capital. That concentration expresses itself as complexity in the physical world, locking you out, and that's the point where tech goes too far, when it is no longer in reach. Older cars and gadgetes and shit I can understand every single part, I can read books on internal combustion engines and fuck with them. It's a playground.

Hopefully that made some sense.

>>28481115
Aston martin dbs, around 2012

>>28481096
He just hates that there are things that he can't afford and works backwards from there.

>>28481139
No, I posted my reason. Unfortunately I work in tech and make a lot of money. I'm just a little autistic about humanity and seek to get away from modern technology as much as I can. I value real design and engineering by autists, exemplified by old tech. Modern shit is a faceless man. All the beuro's figured out a formula and they keep beating the same drum, year after year releasing a newer and more complex and more streamlined piece of shit.

>>28481139
>>28481144
Idk why /o/tist get mad about cars for different folks, there are 8 billion other people on this planet, all with different economic status, needs and are in different phases of their lives. I would never buy an Auston Martin because that pos is made in the UK and will fall apart. I'm glad it exists though because I think it looks good and my dentist takes good care of my teeth.
It's the same thing on other boards, like pc players hating on consoles or the other way around on /v/. On /g/ people always fight eachother about about laptop brands and phone brands.

>>28481152
We were specifically arguing about why it is not cool. Something cannot be cool in a vacuum. If you buy something expensive and it turns no heads and fosters no conversation, or wrenching, and you don't take it to the track, what was the point? There is no personal expression in that. Was the point to drive around on commercial roads going commercial speed limits?

The reality is that the journey ends when finish the payment. It is an afterthought, another item to be collected and not thought about or interacted with. It is a mausoleum on wheels.

To use your PC analogy, it is an alienware. Incredibly expensive and uncool.

At least if I meet an /o/tist who has a $500k 80's quattro I know at *least* they know something about cars and have some sort of taste.

>>28480945 (OP)
I'm very picky with looks, but with this one you got to recognize

>>28481038
>low tier car for the masses.
Too bad it was priced out of reach for the masses, back to the faded S-10 Blazer you go.
BMW launched the 3-Series as a successor to the 02 series and essentially established the premium compact car segment. The company went on to produce five generation of the 3-Series.
Launched and leads an entire market segment, let that wash over you like your momma's ass. How many major major manufacturer's tried to play the "me too" game and still lost? CTS-V is still trying, I'll give them that. How many BMW's have you owned? Your family? Friends? I suppose they all have one right? Have you even been in one? Much less owned one, or three? What do you really know? Beside butt hurt seethe?
And yes, the DB is a dream car!

>>28481181
Whether someone likes elder bimmers is the easiest filter ever.

>>28481184
just a picture I had handy, I wouldn't recommend older ones for newer buyers. Had 04, E90 is better. I like neat, old cars, Alpine A-110, I want the old one. Filter me.

I'm >>28481184. I meant filtered the other way.
>Alpine A-110
Based. Assuming you mean the old one.

I like the E28 but the E30 just seems like the one that finally nailed all the proportions of what they were originally going for. There's just something off about models that deviate from the E30 design in a geometric sense.

>>28481207
Yes, the older A-110, I like the new one, given a choice, I'd pick the original. 66 XKE is another one.

>>28481078
That's a lot of words, too bad I'm not gonna read them.
I'm glad you are on track, but ur car isn't unique or noteworthy.

>>28481223
I'm not sure what to tell you but it turns heads constantly. Seethe.

The $ per turnt head ratio is unbeatable on old beamers.

>>28481233
The only one here seething is you anon.

Anyways, I'm gonna try out XP24 brake pads next track day
See if their 2,000F temp range claim is accurate.

>>28481233
Maybe there's something wrong with me but I don't really feel anything towards BMWs at all. I don't hate them, but even the M cars are just one step off being traffic.

>>28480945 (OP)
bruh

>>28481260
kek

>>28481257
Let me guess, you own a mustang

>>28481048
>yeah and my 100bux thinkpad is best laptop ever
This but unironically

>>28481257
Ok but what years are we talking? The BMW golden age has been over for a long time now. Anything after like 2005/5th gen and up is irredeemable garbage.

>>28481181
>Too bad it was priced out of reach for the masses, back to the faded S-10 Blazer you go.
>BMW launched the 3-Series as a successor to the 02 series and essentially established the premium compact car segment.
Maybe in the US where they treat all imports as "exotic" and cream themselves over anything European, especially with low enough number of imported cars

>>28481286
>t. retard

>>28481282
And yet the E92 is the last amazing 3 Series, and the F10 M5 Competition is the last great BMW

>>28481276
Two things can be true at the same time

>>28481287
I'm not a Mutt, no. In Yurop there's a saying that BMWs start with 5 series. 3er is borderline "real BMW" (you get RWD but don't get the bling), same goes for X3 or at least was like that up until F25, they were not even trying to make them appear expensive. And they split 3 series into 3 and 4 for a reason.
So no, I don't know what "premium" you're talking about, most of them you can encounter on the road here are poverty spec and they are widely used as literal rentals and carsharingmobiles.

Meant to say
>up to and including F25

>>28481297
Why do you own a car you feel nothing for?

>>28481294
Entirely fair.
>>28481297
No because you see the car on the left is gay and the car on the right is based.
>>28481300
inb4 romania or bulgaria or some shit where cars are still a status symbol

>>28481297
And why did you put that mustang on fuckin' STILTS bmaooo

>>28481311
>inb4 romania or bulgaria or some shit where cars are still a status symbol
Those probably don't have a lot of S-10 Blazers

>>28481315
wat

>>28481018
Delusions of Grandeur are a sign of schizophrenia.
Please seek professional help.

>>28481318
I'm referring to a poster who seriously thinks that 3-series is a "premium compact" that "was priced out of reach for the masses"

>>28481324
He's right. It was around 60k deutsche marks when the E30 was released. The average salary was like 2000 marks per month.

>>28481300
>BMWs start with 5 series. 3er is borderline
I used to think this same thing until I bought an E92. The 3 Series COUPE (and now the 4 Series) is the most true form of the "small BMW spirit."

>>28480945 (OP)
Holy fuck. No wonder pickup trucks make you euros seethe so hard.

>>28481339
Pickup trucks aren't cool at all thoughbeit

>>28481330
Are you getting this bullshit from ChatGPT? It was the price of M3, not the regular one.
>The first M3 ever came on the market for 58,000 DM, while the M3 Sport Evolution at the end of the production cycle had a starting price of 85,000 DM.

their words, not mine, but that's ok, I know I'm right.

>>28481335
Even F20s were fun with enough engine, sad they made 1-series trannyverse. But I refuse to call them "premium", "luxury" and other words like that (and sit in the rear for prolonged periods of time)

>>28481341
They're cooler than a fancy Ford Fusion.

>>28481358
Potentially. Those BUILT race trucks are sick as fuck but are just for drag racing. Normal pickups are just work vehicles. The aston may be an uncool dentist car with hilarious pikachu ford fusion styling, but it does look like something a basketball player would be into, if you catch my drift

>>28481363
And everyone knows basketball players are like the ambassadors of "cool"
Why else would so many muricans want to wear basketball shoes and basketball shorts everywhere?
Not that the aston is cool though
Just saying basketball players would probably into it

>>28481367
Nigger worship

>>28480945 (OP)
Good choice.
NGL, Jaguars from this era were the pretty good looking cars.
I went with Porsche because everyone I knew who owned a Bri'ish car ended up in the shop more than on the road but these did look good.

>>28481051
LMAO! Dis lil nigga only has one car.
That sucks for you bro but most people have more than one to suit their mood of the day.
Dream bigger.

>>28481018
Your 325i is far from cool or sovlful. I hate to break it to you.
>>28481051
But you COULD drift or TOUJE a bugatti if you wanted to.
Your issue is with the owner, not the car itself.

The first year or two were manual only, so there's probably a larger percentage than usual. Sorta like the early Murcielagos.

>>28481463
Lame rich guys driving something can make even the coolest cars lame as shit
Same with when lame chav kids and nerds drive certain cars
Even a certain company making a "sports car" can be seen as uncool. Just take a look at the brz/86 bmaooo
