Message: <blockquote data-quote="ryvinson" data-source="post: 364621" data-attributes="member: 16472">I gotta relate this story that for one instinctive humane moment made me think. I was on my way back to office from the workshop. In front of my car, there was this little girl in her school uniform riding pillion on her father's old motorbike. Without batting an eyelid, I had  just blown a few K's on my yellow Rambos...totally discretionary and dysfunctional spending.  And there was that harsh cold reality staring in front of me in the form of a vulnerable  school girl perched so precariously on a dilapidated  motorbike costing no more than a few hundred RMs owned by an impoverished father struggling to make an honest living to educate his daughter. I was so sick to the gut with myself that I refused to look at the Rambos when my driver took over at the office.I'm very new to this forum. I note there's just a handful of us participating actively in this thread whilst there must be over a thousand hits on this thread by the silent majority out there. I should say this out of responsibility to those who may not know better or may be misled by the dramatization of my modding Odyssey and others. Know this well.... a car is possibly the worst  financial  investment you can make. Accessories and mods compound that investment disaster. You'll never get your money back. Infact it's a bottomless pit of continual spending.  So unless you've some loose change, and that doesn't include credit cards or loans, act sensibly and responsibly when spending on a never-ever-cheap (Bring My Wallet)  Bimmer partifcularly if you've dependents and family obligations. Contrary to signals by always speculative stock market rallies and politically correct talk on a V shaped recovery, the economic crisis is far from over. You remain vulnerable to retrenchment or your or business to insolvency. A home in a good location is far superior to any dream car you could ever imagine. Spend generously on the home and poorly on the car. You'll never go wrong that way.I hope many reading this are laughing with their sides splitting. That means I'm wrong with above message, and that forum members are indeed so affluent. And therefore I'd be delighted to be wrong on this occassion.Cheers.</blockquote>
