Car Vs House

[R34NRG]

so ive been thinking lately, investment propeties, land and house packages, display homes, the list goes on.

it got me thinking. how would life be without the line and instead having a 3 bedroom home.

can you guys see yourself taking the bus? or taxi everywhere? or driving a kingswood to get millk?

or the dirty civic driver nextdoor always v-tec-ing it down the street and talking himself up and you knowing theres nothing u can do to shut him up anymore.

or would it be all worth it because you get to sit back with a bunch of blondes and brunettes on a saturday nite and watch some cruel intentions and hope life lessons are learnt from movies

now i know some of you guys out there are quite the multi talented bunch, having both in this situation. if you had to choose one which would u pick?

i figure ure gona have a hard time getting those drunks girls to come over if you dont have a car

and you know ure gona die a lil inside if u get rid of the skyline

[paulr33]

house for sure - a car will drop in value regardless, they vary rarely go up

houses usually go up, and not down and are a solid investement

any work / changes you make usually increase the value of the house

you can use the house to borrow money for other investments as collateral too

mind you there is a massive difference between a 30k skyline and buying a typical 3 bedroom house

a house is a long term commitment and you need to make sure you can service the loan

ive just brought a place so ive been through the typical crap and its a long painful journey

you dont have to give up everything just cos "thats how it is" you need to balance and manage it

im not giving up my R33, but it was paid off a long time ago so thats ok

mind you it will keep costing me and more as time goes on, ie: its got 195k on the clock

so its a bit old and tired so you need to factor that in

but im catching public transport as working on collins st and driving to collins st = waste of time and $600 ish easy a month

on the train is so much easier and $100 a month so public transport isnt as bad as you think

there are many many options when buying a place too

you can buy a house to live in, buy a place to rent out

buy a place on interest only loan and hope it goes up in a few years - then sell it - so you never pay it off

yep house

[i2icho]

+ 1 for house

[R34NRG]

i knew i should of mentioned it.

i know houses are the logical choice but my question was just in terms of how all you guys would feel knowing the skyline isnt in the driveway anymore.

knowing that you couldnt build a bit of boost past that extra hektic statesmen waiting at the lights.

i really cant picture it happening with me lol

[paulr33]

it all comes down to your own scale and whats important to you

ie your skyline and how it boosts is only useful and important to you - it doesnt hold value to anyone else

you can certainly have both your skyline and a house

you just need to balance it on a normal scale and not go overboard

[R31Nismoid]

Sell your for 400k, buy a house

im sure it could be done

here's the answer:

Chuck an RB26DETT OR if your parents can afford it get a VR38DETT into the above Winnebago. What you have now is not only a home, but also a skyline under all that metal. And to top it off, you can beat that dirty civic driver who v-tecs it all the time, while watching porn and fcuking your blondes and brunettes in your winnebago

[R34NRG]

lol

f**k me.........

[bnr#@]

For me I could not sacrifice the line for a house, life would just be so much more booring. I can cover up to arround 200ks per day sometimes in extreeme cases with my onsite business and I couldnt bring myself to drive that much in a bunky.

At the same time my line is fully paid off though so I can now save for a house reasonably easy.

if you are that stupid to think that life lessons are learnt from movies, and the money you save from petrol / sale of a more expenisive car can only buy an old kingswood

and

if you are unable to buget properly and unable to buy a more economical car with the money you should have been saving way before making this thread .......

and have sold you car but for some reason are taking taxis and the bus everywhere .....

well there is no hope for you!

you are stupid

and if the only pleasure you can get from life is "building a bit of boost" past another car you have far less brains than i first complained about you not having!

In all seriousness - House would be number 1 priority, however in saying that a good car is more easier to come by, depending on how much you earn, your current location or still live with the folks, I'd say go for the car. I "assume" most the the people here are fairly young and enjoy going out with friends etc, and a good car can complement this. As crazy as it sounds a good car can open doors / network people, as it is a great "ice breaker" and unfortunately some people judge you by your car. (Think about the good times you have had in your car or the great places you have driven to).

*goes to his VR38DETT powered winnebago, gets the popcorn out, logs on using wireless internet to view the internet war*

Edit - on second thought, got work in the morning, gonna go back to my house and sleep....winnebago is not very comfy....

[R34NRG]

hahahhahaha id love to hear someone actually use their car as a ice breaker though HAHAHAHHAHA.

i can only imagine a few of SAU's elite saying something like

"i aint got no pickup line, bitch get in my car"
