You are quite ignorant. Not a chance. Wife is an ER doc with a 50-mile commute (big city to rural area, live in Chicago and commute to Indianas more physician-friendly malpractice environment. At least that was the only fee they could find for me. I don't understand. are you or are you not? Financial planning can help a doc in the Bay Area improve his life just as much as a doc in a small town in Indiana. But Ill go ahead and implore the readers to stop reading after Dr. Jims paragraph about admitting defeat. However, if your target market is multimillionaires or youre a listing agent in Beverly Hills. This means using a lot of gas. You lose!!!! A luxury car with bad fuel economy will be a disaster, especially if the realtor isnt a big earner. This is a 400 bed hospital so were not talking a doctors office. KC why the fuck are you so funny? There is something to be said about the opportunity cost involved with taking the car in/tow, getting a shuttle, and picking it up. stop defending yourself. http://fortune.com/2016/07/20/aaa-breakdown-new-tech-study/. It has safety features rivaling those of a nuclear submarine. Others will get there too, just like your family has. Cops just give everyone a ticket that goes 5mph over speed limit. I think 15-20 minutes is the max without figuring out a way to sleep before driving. The target market also matters. Needless to say I want that car to start everytime, all the time. If you arent in the beater camp (Im not for my wife/kids) I 100% agree this is the way to go. Id prefer my metropolitan area had half as many people as it does. In fact the funny thing is the cars weve had the most issues with were my wifes newer and more reliable cars. Wrenching on an old car might be a great hobby for a pensioner with a penchant for British sportscars, but for a practicing physician its one more source of stress and loose thread to tie up in a mountain of tangled strands. My cost to upgrade from an older Subaru was $9k, though Im sure it will be much more over time with higher maintenance costs. Im all for personal decisions and choosing what you want but if youre on white coat investor. Never a breakdown. Sales calls are considered to be one of the best types of leads that come in to a dealership. It has some impacts on attracting clients. New vehicles are loaded with advanced technology designed to keep drivers and passengers safe and on the roadnot in the breakdown lane. Theres nothing wrong with enjoying city life. My only interest in cars is the technology/environment angle. And according to him, it would have never happened if he weren't so worried about making the payments of his S550. If you tracked the repair and maintenance numbers carefully, I think youll find the used car is almost always less expensive with more time involved for those things. So for a week my husband appeared to be stealing a fire-engine red sports car from the parking lot every time we had to drive somewhere in public. Come to Los Angeles and I'll show you bad drivers. But they may lose money as a result. About 90 grand new after rebates, but I make 400 grand a year and have a net worth of 1.5 million so the car is 7 percent of my net worth. as stated before comrades, who cares, live your life the way you want to. The best car rental search engine for Armenia is Economy Bookings. It really was not until I moved from NY I see that people are racist and I hate it. For example, if youre a buyers agent for family homes, it makes more sense to drive a car that can accommodate a whole family. As I told me dad when I was 16, I'm going to make enough money someday that I don't have to work on my own cars. I don't even change my own oil any more. Mr. Daste notes that Im spending a few grand extra per year on vehicles which we could be putting away for retirement or otherwise, and as such were borrowing against our futures. I have borrowed from Future Me before and it turned out that Future Me didn't appreciate it. I don't think it would be acceptable in any other country to drive around the flag of any other country. My 2002 Subaru WRX is still going strong, no breakdowns, all amenities still working @ 209k miles with only regular maintenance. The worst example of keeping-up-the-Joness since a car is always one of our most visible possessions (as counter example, what percentage of the hundreds of people you know have ever set foot in your house?, but people at work know where you park). It depends on the individuals personal choices and life! The rules of the road in Nice are similar to other parts of France, you will just need to keep a few things in mind: Remember that you will be driving on the right-hand side of the road, and it is uncommon for local drivers to use turn signals, obey traffic signs, or yield to traffic already on a I'm an Armenian guy and I dont give a mass-a-two-shits what race someone dates. that really blew my mind. i def. Realtors that drive luxury cars do it because they believe it helps their business. The Durango died. As stupid as it may sound to others; no matter how crummy a day I had at the office, driving away in my $70000 luxury muscle car puts a smile on my face. Why's everybody cockblock'n whitey?He's just try'n to get a nut like every other squirrel out there.Ive seen and heard guys of every race do this with outsiders. 75 miles each way to work, but honestly dont mind. I just call myself Armo because I wanna change the world. "With the money we'd be spending on a stupid dinner, I'll cook you guys a feast!" You dont need a brand new car to have a reliable car. A year old Subaru Forester is hardly an extravagant purchase at around $22,000, but I dont see how the payments could possibly be only $200 / month without a significant down payment. Thats a problem docs fall into all the time. Are Europeans really rude to American tourists? My last car, long falling apart, was literally undriveable as it came to a smoking stop in front of my housethat was an easy decision. You spelled welfare wrong, cunt. Bought my second new car 17 years ago still driving it. Not a useful metric. And those who dont care wont even notice. Let's say he can get 6% after-taxes and fees and totally ignore the risk. I don't think it is too bad, since the sicker you are the easier you are to care for, but I can assure you that the stress of dropping a car off at the mechanic and sharing a car for a day or two (or renting a car) once every couple of years is so far down my stressor list that it can be safely ignored. This is my point. People tend to forget things like the lease deposit, down payment, registration fees, taxes, addl insurance costs, maintenance, excess mileage fees (lease) and repairs you simply wouldnt bother making on an older vehicle. Anyone arguing otherwise is already a lost cause. and to be honest, I think its because when it came to the others I might not have given it my best to make it work because deep down inside I was feeling that I COULD/MIGHT disappoint the "parental control"! The size of the country became smaller throughout years while Muslim countries took Armenian land and people.In 1604 AD Iranian government took thousands of Armenians to Iran by force just because they knew Armenians are good at building cities and creating homes. Some motorcyclists report paying nothing at all. But it does happen. specially nowdays, things are changing fast and families are starting to get more used to it, and deep down inside they are all wishing and hoping it doesnt happen to their kid.. haha. Think of the multiplication problem here. No matter your specialty youll be doing better for sure. Our notes are at 1.49% and 1.79%, and any savvy physician with good credit should be able to obtain those rates or better. But as we can see, inexpensive cars are also extremely reliable. Realtors spend a lot of time in their cars. The difference those two changes will make is at least 100 times the difference that buying a fancy new car will make. But most dont care. Probably better to just stick with buying only what you need unless you elect to splurge on something. The premium gas alone would have turned me off. That'll be $4-5K. But I suppose in your case your wife is commuting out of the war zone and into the suburbs . My ride is a 2009 subaru impreza fully paid off! get off the lease treadmill buy certified used Japanese autos. That's right, the fancy new one. So much this, haha! And then I think we both agree its justifiable to spend more money on the cars your kids ride around in. But we will need a different (not necessarily new) car in 1 year. Subarus are great cars but I wouldnt keep one more than 100,000 miles. I will put my money on the Toyota any day of the week. An old classic muscle car (too many options out there) Yes, I also don't agree with it Apotheosis but I've seen it happen plenty. The cheapest reports come out on 3000-4000 dram for 2 weeks. # 3 The linked to chart shows that large cars do better than small cars in accidents, but there is precious little data that shows a new car is significantlysafer than a 5 or even 10 year old car. We have two car notes despite the fact that we could buy with cash. I bet Future You doesn't appreciate you spending his money either. pretty much debunked by Consumer Reports. No. I remember back in the day I heard him speak; he's amazing.. Cyn I don't think KC's Armenian lol he's a liar.btw, my mom was born in Iran. Nice post. That stuff is heinous. If you see a realtor driving the latest luxury car, it doesnt mean that they bought the car. A nicer classy car to go out in or travel long distance or go out with kids such as an Aucra MDX, AUDI Q7, BMW X5, or maybe a large 4 door sedan For more details, see our guide to Armenian border crossings. Just look at your location and choose what works. Just call an UBER and done, I can take care of the car on the weekend or another day that Im off. Like WCI said, there is a big difference spending $60k on a new car when you are a multimillionaire vs a resident or a doc fresh out of residency. Just got home from dropping it off to see if they can do something so it passes the smog test. I think many readers can easily handle car maintenance and even a breakdown here and there, but to many physicians (and people in general) these events are bewildering experiences which lead them to walk into a mechanics shop as a huge mark multiple times a year. I have a lot of friends from your background, but none of them can answer this question. The only real solution will have to be that, just reality. He took his business from being a small mom and pops trucking company to a nationwide extremely successful business. "-Your man is Iranian from Armenia? Especially when it's a good looking or well accomplished person that is a credit to their race- this person would get a lot of grief for dating outside the race. David S. says:Armenians are one of the oldest races that still exist, they are very small in number and that means it will be very easy to disappear from existance if interracial marriages become common for Armenian women. ----------------------------------Personally, I drive a jetta. Kevin W. says:Melt or get out of the pot. I'm sorry, I wish I never came across this thread. This is because they follow the old Julian calendar, which is 13 days behind the modern Gregorian calendar. Tricia said she had a check from her totaled Camry plus cash, easily more than half the purchase price on a forester. -Needed a new fuel pump. Get the party started, bust out the arak. It just means that these things are a choice not obligation. I agree an hour commute after a night shift is too far. I have lived or worked in Glendale and have for over 16 years. My best friend is Armenian. Glendale is ranked one of the safest cities in the U.S., It's not because Armenians are racist. For doctors or other high-income professionals, within reason, of course. The depreciation on a luxury SUV is obviously 5 times that, not including gas and maintenance. A few hundred dollars a month matters to me especially with the costs of young kids. [Editor's Note: What a year it has been for the discussion of automobile purchases on this site! maybe I need to check out Armenia to understand this. I know, no every body is like that, but mostly//, By the way, check this..Like I said, no every body is like that.youtu.be/rTmL4goF4nA, "Before we work on artificial intelligence, why don't we do something about natural stupidity" S.P. stop defending yourself. I know Im spending a few grand extra per year on vehicles which we could be putting away for retirement or otherwise, and as such were borrowing against our futures, but I have peace of mind knowing she wont have any problems getting around town with her rotations and that I dont have to worry near as much about me or her being injured in a collision. . Agree and have faith, but we need to put resources towards research and not these mindless for political appeal things weve been doing. Well, we don't have a good reputation for driving in LA. For example, two kids 19 and 17, both Armenian, were just arrested for killing three people in a street race. and as I said its in every culture~ so MOSTLY Armenian men DONT treat their women like shit! Its like a liver though. In fact, I traded that car in on a Toyota . The number of Armenian have decreased soo much with force that Armenians have to avoid interracial marriage for decades to save the old race that survived for centuries. Most firms will allow the car to be taken to Georgia and Nagorno-Karabakh but there may be a surcharge. First and foremost, and most obviously for a medical professional, having a vehicle break down can lead to thousands of dollars in opportunity cost. But a lot are. and it's just how those people's priorities are set. It's a good thing. In some areas, luxury cars are perfect because theyll work perfectly. The number of Armenian have decreased SO much with force that Armenians have to avoid interracial marriage for decades to save the old race that survived for centuries. Two sets of pissed-off parents *chuckle*. Not make or break for doctors, but I still hate throwing money away. Paying 1.49% over 4 years. Still anecdote? In some cases, that means going for the luxurious brands. He also has kept a beloved 1995 toyota pickup from high school. Armenian women are great mothers, wives, sisters and daughters because they know how to respect and gain tbeir respect. Again, as a high income professional if the cost of an auto repair is causing a financial stress, you are screwing your financial life up severely. In addition, I generally am not too concerned about buying a car without a warranty but the newer computer controlled luxury cars make me think twice about that! A doctor would never choose to use old, unreliable equipment in the OR. Throw in self-entitled pedestrians and cab and marshutka drivers who think they'd give Schumacher a run for his money, should they have gotten the opportunity, as well as the average age of the cars on the road to rival that of the tech in our military, and you have the ajabsandal that is Armenians roads, and that's to say nothing about the road conditions themselves (which are admittedly improving as of recent). Not at all, we're excellent and responsible drivers. Many realtors know this and dont bother getting a luxury car. I can'tI work to pay off my Jetta, splurge on some shoes here and there and once I become a lawyer, I'll buy myself a house and THEN a nice car. We think its fine to buy a noncertified car and bank any savings. Total expected cost for above lineup = ~$250-$300K depending on age and specifics. Straighten out your financial life today! I guess I'll start with a few disclosures. Then again, you might be Armenian and that was why you were being so defensive? So, most agents go for luxury cars to give the impression theyre doing well. Realtors arent different from average people. Pop a special hole in the back of the license plate, and though it will trigger the theft alarm you can then push buttons in the trunk to open the doors. Cheaptimes M. says:I was in Gdale last niteI had a Troys burrito--------------You blew it. Caucasus mountains where Caucasian comes from runs through Arminia. I know there are some die-hard Tesla fans here, but those are basic facts and why they lost the mobile eye contract in the first place (read the SEC filings for details). We are not India or even Brazil level yet, but shit's still scary, and the number of road fatalities is absolutely disgusting. Owning reliable car doesnt have to be expensive. The reason behind my chuckling is because of the question, asking if Keeping my family safe while driving is important to me and didnt require purchasing new vehicles. Then I pump 4400 lbs of water into it and drive it around the lake full throttle just to see how big of a wave I can make behind it. Plus, I feel worse every time the kids slam the brand new doors into neighboring cars (including our other Sequoia in the garage.) But then Id live thousands of miles away from mountains, canyons, family etc. Im thinking resell value later on and what others would deem valuable, which if you drove it until dead wouldnt even matter. Thank you Rafik jan!If a woman (of any race) doesn't want to be treated as inferior, then she should establish herself as an individual and strive towards self efficacy (this should never be at the cost of femininity, beauty, and grace). Let's take a really expensive repair, such as a transmission on a big SUV. But the truth is that we are clinically (not just statistically) no more safe in that car than we are in the 2005 Sequoia. You can buy a new car today in that price range with automatic braking, which might help with occasional distraction, but its not really a solution. When (if) rates ever go back up to historical levels, it would become very difficult (for me at least) to justify borrowing any money on a depreciating asset like an automobile. Cynthia. Ukraine people strong! And again, this post was not intended to be about the author, but about the readers in general. # 2 I am not Mr. Money Mustache. This question is of interest not only to the Armenians themselves, but also to representatives of other nationalities. chillax.seriously. Well, it's true but that was a joke. Some realtors drive pickup trucks, sports cars, etc., because its what works for them. I hope i did not come off as ignorant. Alternator, battery, all 4 tires because the alignment went out on a road trip, lthe whole computer had to be replaced after it failed and the car became nonfunctional. A sports car for those fun days like a Z06 or Porsche 911 turbo I had friends who were inter racial and it made no difference to us if I were to date someone of there race. Doug, that makes me feel bettermisery loves company. "BUT. lol My bf is Iranian Armenian! Why not have both flags? Even that 2005 Sequoia would make Mr. Money Mustache cry, since a 2005 Camry would save a ton of money on purchase price and running costs. I find the arguments about reliability unfounded and amusing. I've always heard my family say (when we were poor lol) "Magic Mountain? So r u a conformist or a trailblazer?Is your bf an Iranian Armo as well? Two realtors in one city could have different target markets and require different cars. Make sure you know what you are getting, or consider staying just outside of the center. Its past the most precipitous depreciation, has most of the modern safety and amenity features and is usually 30-50% off new model sticker. Public transport: ~$84.50 (without work subsidy) monthly bus + T link pass, Uber pool: ~$120: $3 per leg x 2 legs per day- to and from work x 20 days of work (M-F) Yes, there are people who--and vehicles that--will do this for you, but they will cost you a pretty penny.
