This is fucked chaps. It is the first thing anyone will think about. I will just be the old ass boomer that people see as pathetic.

>>28700632 (OP)
You know what's more pathetic is being 40 years old and still caring what other retards think about you.

>>28700632 (OP)
>sports car
Oh neat, a sports car!
What kind?

Your're just mad because i can afford a sports car and a house, and you never will.
I am more of an enthusiast than you will ever be able to be

yeah, man
I'm the one who's mad.

>>28700643
Some of us live in high society and the opinions of others can severely limit our opportunities and upward mobility.

>>28700680
Sounds like some cuck shit.

>>28700681
Whats more cucked is not being able to afford to decide.
You are doomed to be a low status male forever, driving old junk and trying desperately to convince people that living on society's scraps is somehow acceptable.
Grow up.

>>28700680
>40
>upwards mobility
Bruv, by 40 the die is already cast. If you don’t realize that yet, your problems extend beyond what car to get.
Find a car you enjoy driving and let that be the end of it.

year olds in high society conduct themselves than I'm not missing anything.

To be devil’s advocate, if you are part of a profession that has any degree of sociability, the way you portray yourself is important. Furthermore if you’re part of corporate America, your fellow coworkers are likely all closeted faggots with dysfunctional penises so they will angrily envy your purchase. In these cases it may be important to be careful with how you portray yourself in respect to the car, but it’s easily workable by simply… Not driving a sports car to work? Otherwise, who cares what random people think of your car?

>>28700697
>Otherwise, who cares what random people think of your car?
OP is obviously deeply insecure. Look at the way he's posting.

>>28700695
It's a successful people thing,.you wouldn't understand.

>>28700697
>driving a sports car to work
What kind of sports car?

>>28700699
>obviously deeply insecure
Holy grammar, batman

>>28700704
Any, really. If it doesn’t look like some generic econobox or luxury SUV, you’re going to be attracting attention. Whether this is a good or a bad thing is up to you and your circumstances.

>>28700706
Those things are not sports cars, what sports car would you envisage corporate Bob driving to his corner office?

>>28700700
The only thing you're succeeding at is looking like a massive fag on this Bangladeshi carpet weaving forum?
>>28700705
Are you illiterate or something?

Is 40 too old to become a professional race car driver?

>>28700711
Too old for anything.
Might as well just off yourself now.

>>28700708
I don’t think you understood my post. I said any car under the label of “sports” is going to attract attention. Corporate Bob is not driving any actual sports car to the office, hence why it would attract attention in the first place, as it’s not a normal thing to do.

>>28700711
It depends, can you afford it?

>>28700709
>Are you illiterate or something?
On the contrary.
As you can't see the problem, I can hypothesise that you are not blessed with a high IQ.
Is English your first language?

>>28700711
People ask this on /fit/, is 40 too old to get jacked, no however you won't be able to compete with actual young people

>>28700716
I get it, but the idea of Bob driving to work in a real sports car, on public roads, is really far fetched.

>>28700727
Yep, hence why OP made this thread at all. But the issue is OP is making this fear universal, when the real problem is local with him worrying about ostentatiously bringing a sports car to work when he has no reason to do so. Keep it for the weekend, OP.

>>28700724
kinda cringe brochacho
and I don't take english lessons from bongs

>>28700732
What kind of sports car do you have in mind though?

My coworkers come to work in 60s Camaros and the like and we work in an air quality lab for the government. No one cares bro, just drive what you want.

>>28700742
Honestly, I find the label of “sports” so diluted these days that’s it’s easier to say what isn’t a sports car vs. what is, but if I had my pick, basically any American pony/muscle/sports car (eg, camaro, corvette, etc) is going to stand out, any classic sports car (of all DM), japanese coupes, etc. I feel that the only sports car that may go under the radar are going to be models like BMW sedans since they’re common enough not to stand out immediately. Again though this will vary depending one where you live and we still have the problem from my first sentence but yea, that would be some examples from my perspective.

>>28700743
>60s Camaros
Sure, but no one takes them seriously.
I bet they have hawaiian shirts and moustaches too.
Its always flamboyant gays, troons, and predators that drive those kind of cars.

>>28700749
>pony/muscle/ hairdressers cars.
The gm's fit this.

>Bmw sedan
No, those are just consoomer slop

Non of the above are real sports cars though

>>28700750
No… They’re just normal men that happen to be car enthusiasts. You have some sort of repressed problems regarding classic car owners if that’s what you think. We’re a government lab not an insane asylum.

>>28700666
You're a pussy. You're the kind of idiot who makes other enthusiasts look bad

>>28700757
Well if we want to be purist then sure, I agree. But OP is thinking in terms of others, that is to say normies, and they’re the type to think a GR86 is a true sports car so…

>>28700758
>We’re a government lab not an insane asylum
Government jobs are really day are for deviants.
I guess we have to put you guys somewhere, and lets be honest, they just wouldn't make it in a real career.

>>28700766
Sure. Come back to me when you can safely operate 2 million dollar ion chromatography machines, then we’ll have a discussion on who is or is not a closeted gay here in our laboratories.

>>28700760
It's just important that people use the definition properlly.
But sure, it would look a bit effeminate if he drove to work in a hairdressers car like a gm corvette or similar.

>>28700772
>B-but i operate machine!!1!
Lol, exactly as I suspected.
Adult daycare.

>>28700643

Ah, so you’re just a boomer who enjoys inhaling lead. No wonder you’re so mentally handicapped. It’s a wondrous thing i’ve been hired to detect and prevent the presence of such contaminations in the air. You don’t need to thank me, our government already handily compensates me with your tax dollars.

Classic delusions of grandeur, from a machine operator.
Next thing you will want us to call you an "engineer" or something, other than machine-monkey.

>>28700795
Hilarious. Keep yapping—if my finger slipped regarding a report for your region one day, you’d find your entire neighbourhood polluted by VOCs, PMs and more in short order from the petrochemical company upstream using your local river as a dumping ground for their byproducts. But you already knew that, and you’re just replying to feed your closeted homosexual complex regarding… 60s Camaro owners for whatever reason.

>>28700800
Lol yes yes, i really believe your made up day-care job is super important, champ.
Musk was right to axe all your made up jobs.

>>28700811
If that cope lets you sleep at night without your anus puckering to the thought of a Gen1 Camaro, then keep at it, I won’t mind.

>>28700813
>cope
Low IQ post, who is the machine operator here? Hmm?
Who will have to cope with pulling a lever all day forever?
You should have stayed in school.

>>28700643
Really this. It's not the 1980's anymore, if you can than do it

>>28700817
I don’t have to cope as i’m paid $200,000 a year with a guaranteed golden pension. It’s you who has to prove that you have any education beyond the 10th grade. Or are you some failed engineer that copes that someone else from STEM isn’t groveling at your feet?

>>28700680
You had your entire 20's and 30's to get ahead.

>>28700822
>He thinks $200k is a lot in the current year.
Typical joe-punchclock intellect.
>Duhh i haz a pension
Lol, lmao even

I’m continuously impressed that /o/ for miraculous reasons I will never understand has an average income in the 7 digits. It is simply such a delight to be amongst high society in here

>>28700700
Nigger, Warren buffet drives an old Cadillac that he got used. The only people who care about what you drive are poor retards

Even if people think it's not cool who cares? It's your life and cars are awesome.

>>28700632 (OP)

Get a fast sedan.

There's a lot of nuance to this, and it hinges on the reason a 40+ year old buys a car. For many, their forties is a time when the previous decades of work and sacrifice comes to fruition. They finally feel comfortable enough with their financial situation to buy that classic Stingray or that truck with 40 inch tires that they always wanted. Others make the buys out of the need to show face, regardless of whether they've actually earned it or even give a shit about the vehicle. It's usually pretty obvious which is which when you encounter these people in real life

There is a huge similarity between how you present yourself with clothing, with how you present yourself with a vehicle.
Driving a used car is like wearing clothes from a charity bin or a thrift shop.
Trying to tell people that wearing rags is somehow better, makes you sound like a crack zombie

Its okay, but OP spoke about sports cars, and, i mean lets be honest, the vw c2 is not a real sports car, its a lifestyle car with sporty styling, and most people just call them hairdressers cars,

>>28701724
What a knee slapper, keep forcing this you bored, annoying faggot.

Are you trying to say that the vw c2 "is" a sports car?
It's just not.

Besides, the "mid life crisis meme" is just a psyop pushed by elites on normies when they realized that normies care more about flashy luxury items instead of actual power. So if a 40 year old high tier normie finally earns enough money to get shit he wanted as a kid they shame him into feeling inadequate and ensure that other normies will still not respect him for that so that the elites remain on top of the respect ladder because they were able to get that stuff when they still were young. capische?
