Asian College Kids With Expensive New Cars

[IRON-E]

I noticed, just never cared.

Fuck yeah......us Angelinos don't give a shit!

And to the rest of you, stop fucking hatting 'cause you don't have it.

[FunfGan]

hate it

kinda why im building a car to smash on everything it sees

it might not be luxury, but i'll be DAMNED if you think you're waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswafflesy rich ass can drive like i can

How does a powerful car equate to good driving? I heard you only put half a car length on an auto 325is with the m50 vert :)


And yeah, insane trend. Its annoying.

im korean and i didnt even have a car when i was in highschool lol.
i didnt go to college and my parents didnt have much money anyway.
but they spent all there savings and started a business which over 10 years
has been very successful so they bought me my E93 335i vert for my 24 birthday
and i run 1 of my parents businesses now and i love it ....

See that I don't get, just giving someone something that expensive is completely unheard of to me. Even the family members that could afford to buy me a nice car don't spend more than $50 on me for christmas/birthday presents because we've always considered anything more excessive. Hell, I'm freaking out because someone (not sure who yes) gifted me a subscription to The Economist, which runs at least $100 for a year. Stuff that big like cars, TVs, Xboxes, we've always seen as something you should work for and earn and not just have it handed to you.

Come to SF, go to Sonic MS and youll see Lambo's, Ferrari's, R8's, etc. All dumped all wearing 4k wheels. The ones I know are Indonesian.

Over here they have a car club called SF Krew and in LA I believe its LA Werk.

jsut read on their website. www.sfkrew.com

SF KREW was established in 2003 by a group of Indonesian students in various schools in S.F. Sharing the same hobbies and interests had created a community in a dense population in San Francisco. Going out, cruising, partying, and dining together are part of the community's culture. Days by days, our community continues to attract people to join, new members with insane cars and modifications, and more expensive toys. Ranging from Japanese cars such as Mitsubishi EVO VIII, Subaru STi, Nissan 350z, to European cars such as BMW, Mercedes Benz, Audi, Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini, SF KREW continues to thrive.

In my experience, Indonesian students = serious money.

I dont know if they are still functioning cuz their site doesnt work its just a front page and thats it. But yea.

Compliment their nice cars and move on?

Funny thing about our society.. inverse snobbery. Never understood why "poor" people act snobbish to wealthy/successful people.

"Look at that dickhead.. driving a nice car and has a beautiful wife.. walking around like he is the shit.."

Its not to all "rich people", its to those who didn't earn it and/ or don't understand what they've been given.

In my town, the majority are Asian kids with 335i's
Though the Herra Frush scene is getting bigger and bigger with expensive luxury cars here, with again.. Asian or Flip kids.
Seems as though nobody likes racing anymore.

That's not it at all. The people that come in to my work with nice cars that they bought with their own money that they worked for I have zero issue with it. In fact, I love it because I really enjoy working on the cars and I love talking to them about the cars. What I hate about these kids is that they're handed the cars, have zero appreciation for them, and can barely drive (see kid failing to park C63).

I have nothing against people that work hard and reward themselves with a nice car, I aspire to that myself. It's the kids being handed a car they don't deserve. My parents could have afforded to spend 15-20 grand on my first car, but they didn't. They gave me a $3,000 320is that I'm very grateful to have gotten. And because of that I have huge appreciation for my E30 that I bought with my own money, has power windows, AC, can actually accelerate, and (holy shit!) has remote locks. If they had just given me a nice, new car all this would be expected and unappreciated.

Just to make a case on the other side of things.

Their parents may have worked hard to be successful and want to give their kids things they never had when they were young. Yes some of these kids do not understand the worth of a dollar and a hards days work but would you reject a brand new car if your parents gave it to you? Especially if it was the way you were raised your entire life.

Also to touch on the inverse snobbery, it's just sad, the rich kids with nice cars I know compliment my raggity e30. Be nice to everyone regardless of their lifestyle.

Well or course. I don't hold it against them personally at all, I don't even know them for Christ's sake! I just find it wrong as a matter of principle, you know?

I see the same situation here in Germany.
Young guys driving around an M6, or a brand new fast Audi, whatever...
I would not buy my kids such a car even if I had more than enough money.
I agree with what was said here once, buy them a more or less normal, or old car, and let them appreciate that.
I' am sure that most of the 18 years old boys, that yet have not worked hard or alot in their lifes (most of them) will value such a new expensive car.
I started with a crappy worn out E30 at age 20, and I'm very happy with it.
Not saying this is the only true way to deal with it, but it is atleast a way to learn to value even simple things, before you may start out with the big ones right from the beginning.

Don't be jealous. They use student loans to pay for them.

Happens all the way down to the community college level (seen a candy green Viper convertible with matching green/black/chrome wheels)

I get jelous of the Maserati being daily driven 60 miles a day but when I look at those cars as the cheap second hand fixer-uppers of tomorrow, I get over it.

fwiw, cars I've seen at UCR/CSUSB:
Merc slk
Merc e350 (my buddy's daily)
BMW M3 (x5)
BMW M5 (x2)
GTR (x2)
Maserati Gransport (drives with me to school every so often)
BMW 335 (x1000000000)
Flat Purple Camaro ss (enjoys driving against parking lot traffic)
WRX STI (x4)
Evo 9/10 (x3)
G37-always (x20) (modded with cf hood)

Edit: and these 3 brothers lol
