OT: What do you do for a living? What do you drive? Social pressure?
You're Ann Arbor as hell.

Anyone who owns a Nissan Frontier can not be described as social pressure.
Yeah, the frontier really cancels out the other two, doesn't it. Don't worry though I'll be turning it in soon for a Ford Raptor.
I have considered buying one, but have a hard time dropping that coin on any nice car, but if I did a non-gas guzzling car would be my choice.
Fully loaded Model S. It like stepping into the future everytime I get into the car. The best 120k I've ever spent.

Feel pressure occasionally because the cars i drive are a bit much somestimes. we cycle out every 5,000 miles. Love driving them, but would never spend the money to buy myself. Growing up in Det area, I was a gm guy, but would probably by an accord if had too.

2. Don't own a car, ride Amtrak a ton to client cities then cab/Uber so it would sit in the garage all week.
3. No, fuck those people that would give me a hard time. I just can't stand driving in DC. Too many tourists, foreign visitors that can't drive, and generally shitty drivers. Seriously what kind of place puts stoplights at the end of onramps to the highway? Plus I am the worst at doing stuff like getting my tags updated.
I ride the metro still because I derive some weird childhood pleasure out of riding any kind of train, and Uber makes it easy to not own a car when I need to go places not accessible by metro.
(2) Honda Civic (not a car guy AT ALL - just needs to get me from point A to point B), more money in the wife's car (safer for the kids).
(3) Could not care less.
Audi a4
Not really
1. Professor
2. CTS coupe
3. Subtle negative pressure from most people I work with, but I just wanted a GM car (family stuff) that was quiet on the expressway, since I commute about 100 miles/day.
1) Tax Manager at EY, with a focus on sports/entertainment clients. (I should probably get back to work.)
2) No car, even though I live in LA. (The wife drives a Prius.)
3) No pressure. With two girls, all my focus is on them, so I don't give social pressure much thought. Heck, I went over two years without a cell phone.
You're probably right and this seems really sensible... but nothing annoys me more than when the 401k (or other stock holdings) goes down during a recession.... then I keep thinking... I should have just bought something nice... or taken a vacation... or played some roulette, etc.

I have a graphite mobility cane so maybe I care somewhat about peer pressure?
2. Ford Focus
3. I dance when my wife wants me to
I drive a 2004 Subaru Forester that I love. This car has been through the ringer but is in great condition. I intend to keep it as long as I can. The only sticker on the car is a block M.

3. Upgraded to a SUV because I needed more space for the kid. Before, I had a Mercedes C300 as a lease, but it was pretty annoying so I was honestly relieved when I returned it (it will be the last time I drive a MB). My issues were - rear tail lights went out during the first year and I had them changed a few times on my own dime, then realized that it was a defect in the car that they never did a recall for... also, the tires on that car are really bad... like I went through 4 tires (2 popped while I was driving and the others kept going flat) during my first two years.... My Lexus SUV is so much better... no issues so far. I also like it because it's common enough (NYC suburb) that it's not really seen as a luxury car and it's pretty durable.
Agreed on MB. Back at the beginning of college, I did Valet parking during one Summer. I distinctly remember every Mercedes being unresponsive and in no way deserving of their pricetag.

2. 2003 Infiniti hand-me-down from the wife after she got a new car and I traded in my 2003 VW station wagon, which I got b/c it's practical. Before that, a 1993 Toyota MR2 Turbo b/c they're awesome. So. Much. Fun.
3. Couldn't care less about social pressure.
My old MR2, which I still miss dearly...
