This article is definitely one worthy or re-reading. I have heard so many website/blog “experts” state that one should find a niche on something they are passionate about. While in the same vein, I prefer the word obsessed. Being obsessed about an item, topic, etc. vs. passionate seems to turn up more details – good and bad, in my opinion. I am obsessed with handbags. I am passionate about gardening. I spend more time on my handbags blog.

I would like to add that life-learning experiences, such as caring for someone with a specific medical condition, is also a great way to develop a niche. I can definitely say that while I am not an expert, I know a heck of a lot about a particular type of cancer and the physical issues and required care involved. Hmmm…sounds like a blog in the making.

I don’t think you can even consider being a successful
IMer if you aren’t obsessed.

that’s interesting… to be honest I have a similar problem…if it even is a problem at all. let’s just call it a tendency. my first car was BMW 525. Now I’m driving a vw passat combi from 1999 with 1.9 tdi engine… a typically boring car… sometimes I miss my BMW but it is just not that important now.

A Pontiac Aztec, what in the world?? I had to Google that one, lol. I was expecting some ancient car, but apparently it is just a suv, hehe.

Till then,

For all we know, Warren Buffet may well be collecting some thing like coins or stamps or something like that and spending fortunes on them. The point however is that the automobile has begun to mean more than just transportation to many people, thanks to some heavy advertising and promotion with subliminal messages conveying status, machoness etc which persuade people to spend money on cars.

I like it.. it’s also very easy for us not to realise the value of the information we might have on a subject with which we’ve been obsessed.

i think a nice sports car would suit Yaro more than an SUV. A SUV is more appropriate for someone with a family to drive around. I personally think a BMW coupe would be an excellent choice.

That’s too funny. That vehicle is brutal. Do they still even manufacture it?

I love SUV’s and my favourite one has got to be the Range Rover…Why not consider this one? Anyway I think you should buy a superb luxurious vehicle which will both suit your needs and make you look awsome (I don’t mean you are not at the moment!) while you drive it…

I think you deserve to buy yourself a nice luxurious/sports car. It sounds as if you have been living below your means for awhile as you sound like a very humble man and while living below your means is great as it allows for you to save, I do think you should live it up a little as well. That doesn’t mean splurging on an Audi R8 but it could mean a nice and fun car in the $30K-$40 K range. Good luck and continue to update us! =)

Erica has a good point.

After you buy a new car, in a few months the newness of it will wear off anyway. I’m always amazed at how many broke people have brand-new and expensive cars. Is it possible they’re broke because of the car? Hmm…

Obviously you’ve got the money to buy a new car, but why buy another one considering by your own admission you don’t need another car.

Take whatever amount you would have spent and divvy to a few different investments. In five years you’ll think back about how good of a decision that was.

Yaro, its up to you, whether you need a fast coupe but a gold digger or an economic car but yet cool to drive and affordable

If you are for the first option , BMW M6 is the right babe (I wonder how comes AL hasn’t reviewed it yet on his blog)

The second option is a Citroen C4 Coupe , I own one , its quite good and it doesn’t consume a lot of gas

Do let us know about your decision

I’m addicted to Blank and Jones/Claudia Brucken track “Don’t Stop.” Like Madonna’s “Justify My Love.” Only nastier. Love it.

Nice collection of thinks about the cars and the people what they are saying about the cars.
And nice to see you while driving the cars.

Thanks for all the comments – I love the diversity. I feel there’s some of me in all of you, from those who like expensive cars but admire them from a distance, to those who own them, to those who think the money is better spent helping those in need and not serving the ego.

I haven’t decided what to get yet, but as soon as I do, I’ll be sure to blog about it.

Man… I am also obsessed with cars, and racing in general! As far as my car.. and what I would buy if I had the means to, I would likely get an Audi, or a BMW, with a third choice being the Mercedes Benz =D

Yes most rich people are smart enough to not blow a lot of money on a vehicle that is msotly just a status symbol. If you want to stay rich, you still have to manage your money carefully. Still, it is nice to splurge on a decent car, especially if you are driving much.

Congrats on deciding to buy a new car. If you’re making good money and still driving a Suzuki Swift, it is definitely time to upgrade, no offense. The Mazda R8 would be very tempting, but it probably is best to go with a more practical car. You are right that you probably wouldn’t use all of that power anyway. If you want something fast, work your way up to it.

I completely agree with you, Oliver. It’s true with everything in your life – your job, wife and so on and so forth;) without passion, it often gets boring and tedious. If I was to write something that doesn’t interest me, I’d end up writing some boring and unattractive stuff that no one would read it;)

I suppose it means that we all have to go through certain stages in our lives, maybe just at different times….interesting point you raised there, Mr One Life No Fear! My 1st car was a Golf Gti. What a legendary vehicle! Currently I drive the new Beetle. I’ve had it for 8 years and the shape is still fresh, which really suits me down to the T.

I think you’ll find the 135i an awesome ride. The tuning potential of the turbo-charged engine isa also such that you’ll be able to purchase effective power upgrades once the novelty wears off. Everything eventually gets slow…..

This is so true. Whenver I buy something (or I don’t buy), I try to find out why, where, and where are emotional triggers, etc.

It’s an exercise that’ll give you an advantage overtime.

the BMW M3 is a manly choice indeed, but considering your previous rides I would recommend BMW 135i, since you already tested it. The engine delivers enough power.
In your daily driving you probably won’t need more than that. It depends on how more you drive daily and whether you drive more inside a town or between towns. The next best choice to a M3 would be a BMW 330xd which has awd and a diesel engine being more economical which means you don’t need to move near a refinery. Audi also has some interesting powerful awd alternatives like the the RS4.
In the end it’s a matter of taste and style. Since you won’t go racing performance might come in second place after safety (read grip)

Cheers and let us know of your decision.

Interesting post Yaro… My first car was a Mini Clubman..never forget it UEF 887S was its registration.. Since then I have been a car nut and gone through everything from a Talbot Solara (don’t ask) to a Lotus Esprit V8 GT…. It is funny that you are becoming more interested from an agnostic start and I am becoming less interested in cars having come from an obsessive start… There is a psyhcological lesson in there somewhere!

Hi Yaro – Been driving various Audis and Mercs for several years now. Didnt think I was a car person either. Go the Audi R8!

The cars we love and the cars we have are not always the same thing. I once was struggling between a JAg and a merc, after visiting both main dealers I plumped for the XJR Jag as I was so impressed by the staff in the garage and how they seemed to know everyone of their custoemrs by their first name. After owning the JAg for 18 months I new why. I too had visited the main dealer 23 times with 19 different faults.

That killed my passion for cars.

I think you should go with the Pontiac Aztec.
