That is a myth, while some jews don't drive German, many do, I would suspect Mercedes, VW and Audi are top Jewish driver cars..
<-- Is Jewish, drivers a C63, eats bacon, in fact I get my bacon with a side of bacon.. and I eat Bacon Cheeseburgers on the high holidays just to violate all the meal related rules at once (I'm lazy and don't want to do 3 different things to violate the rules :P )
Haters gonna Hate, but it is a car, drive it, if/when it gets messed with, take appropriate action (I would park around cameras)

Haters going to hate.. When I drove my beat up 00 civic si in college, I had it keyed, windshield smashed, someone backed into it but actually left a note (good karma to him), hydro-locked twice (but that is on me).. I still love that car, but sadly is gone.. RIP -
I love cars, but it is ONLY a car. Replaceable and fixable - but maybe get some camera in front and back to record any happenings.. Sounds like you can afford it, college baller

Basic rule of owning nice cars...don't act like a dick, and you probably won't have anything bad happen to it. Just try to park smartly...at the ends of blocks so you can have plenty of room, isolated places, etc. If you're that worried about it, park further away so you can get a "safer" spot, otherwise, suck it up and expect some door dings or "love taps".

After parking my car, I look around to see if anyone sees me. If I catch an onlooker, I clench my fists to my sides with palms up and do a double hip thrust. Then I do a last jumping hip thrust for good measure. I'll answer what everyone's thinking. Why you ask? Because I'm awesome.

I bought my first AMG this year...I'm 24...Paid it off...Started a business when I was 19 and broke..I don't act like a dick but people stare quite a bit..sometimes people ask me questions or say "nice car"..in my city AMG's are pretty rare and usually it's a old man driving them and usually a older one, just don't act like a dink like people have said and you'll be fine...always be humble..

what kind of business?
so only 'old men' drive them and they are used cars?
practice what you preach...always be humble...
yours is 'older'

even if you 'buy' you are leasing and financing
say if you buy 75k out the door, pay cash
you still financed because you lost the interest on the 75k
if you could finance at 2% and make 6% you lost money
say you pay 75k cash
9k at 6% interest is lost over 2 years, total real cost is 84k or so
standard depreciation car is worth maybe 55k
it cost 29k to drive it for 24 months or 1200/month, an expensive 'lease'
if you financed at 2% (a standard promotion rate for excellent credit) (72 months) and put a minimum down payment, say 5k, is ~1000 month and balance would be <50k, sell for 55k and pocket >5k
total cost is (24 x 1000) +5000 (downpayment) - 5000 ('profit') ~ 24000 or 1000/month to drive, less than a cash buy, you 'made' money by financing, not to mention the 8k in interest on the 70k in the bank, you are way ahead
a lease may be better if you can write off a portion of it
if the lease is 1100 amonth and it saves a few hundred in taxes you drove the car for 900/month
money is cheap now...better sometimes to hold yours and use theirs
especially when it comes to a depreciating, consumable, commodity (not asset)

Mine isn't new though it's a 2009 so it's pretty depreciated as is (was only $45k)...if it was new I probably would have financed it. I agree on the better to use theirs and not yours.

I would do this all day long in college as well....I would also tip our universities armed guards a little just for extra car protection hehe...we were more worried about glue sniffing addicts roaming the lot....nothing like glued on fingerprints on your hood and windshield

There are SO MANY f'ing d0ouchebags and turds out there. He's prolly jealous and/or assumes you didn't pay for the car urself (which can cause some people even more unjustified resentment). A few months ago my car got keyed for no reason. I hate people...

So im currently still in college and i got a c63 coupe for my bday. the First time i drove it to school this guy looks at my car for a while and looks at me and says **** you as i was getting in my car to leave. and i was like excuese me? and he just turned around and gave me this death stare. after that i feel like people will key my car or something if i ever drive it to school. any one else drive theirs to school and can share some experiences/advice on avoiding people that will mess up your car?
