Maybe he wanted to save some money? I've considered getting something else a few times and saving a few hundred a month...

I usually just feed my kid leaves out of the gutter. It's actually not that bad, as there's a really nutritious pile of them not more than three feet from our cardboard box.

However, that little shit has to make sure he's clean before he gets in my 335. Don't want no shit eating baby dirtying up my pride and joy, ya know?

You're trying to explain this on a site that is specifically about bimmers; hard for me or anyone to catch your drift... this isn't economics 101 but a car enthusiast club. I graduated with a finance degree so I know better... but even talking about that here is very moot.

Your on a car forum; your giving out financial advice lol?

Obviously the baby vs car issue is ridiculous but that's just the definition of a stupid person and doesn't need to be brought up.

It's pretty obvious everyone will clown you; it is in all honesty a downgrade. If he got a Porsche, Audi or Benz that may have been a different story.

what a huge downgrade. My brother in law has a passat wagon and that car is holy horrible inside and outside. I would rather get something like that Infinit EX35 if I needed to haul stuff and carry babies...

Negative.

I was submitting a rebuttal to the "Downgrade" comment and especially how some of those messages were conveyed; I don't care to give any of the kiddies here any financial advice. That's not my job.

But maybe I should have been more specific. The guy upgrades his life and upgrades practicality, most likely upgrades financial maneuverability, upgraded reliability, but yes he did downgrade in performance.

Oh yeah, and of course he'll never pull hot ass without his Bimmer or have his e-peen stroked by fellow Bimmer enthusiasts (because of course we all know we're the best fanbois at stroking eachothers' penises, right?). I guess he loses out.

WTF is with the point and laugh mentality here when a guy goes from a 335 to a Passat? I'm just not understanding. Are we laughing at the fact that he's making good choices? Maybe laughing at the fact that he's now way more uncool than he was before when he had his babemobile? Laughing because our priorities are fucking out of whack, or maybe we're just too juvenile to address the guy's choice properly? (<--- This last one is most likely the right answer)

Other than the downgrade in pure performance, what else has he downgraded?

If people wouldn't have said dumb shit, I never would have posted in here. It really is that simple most of the time. Act like a fool and expect someone to say something about it. That's how life is. You seem to be pretty level-headed and stuff; you know that.
