Would it be dumb to try to get a car that's as close to the same make and model as my car back home, even if it's kinda old and crappy, just cause it's familiar? [and sentimental reasons but he's not getting into that here] Do other people do that? Should I be shooting for the gold standard of inexpensive but functional?

If I could find a Camaro I could afford on this crappy pay, I would buy one. I think you're entitled to want a copy of that Jeep. I would say get a newer model if you can though, just for the sake of mileage.

Are you saying puppy training does not keep you in the luxury to which you're accustomed?

If you really liked the car, I don't see why it's weird. Get what you want. It's your car, yeah? Who cares what anyone else thinks?

[threeisapattern]

I guess in fairness, that car was really old and broke down a lot and I mostly want it for sentimental reasons

if my dad were here, he'd probably want me to have a car that's more reliable.

Functional but inexpensive is brilliant. Easier to repair.

[threeisapattern]

I mean you're not wrong

but familiar's good, too?

[hatestrashcans]

Sounds smart to me. I mean, I like expensive cars, but they're not necessary.

[threeisapattern]

yeah expensive was never on my radar

I think it's good to be happy. So if you can afford it, and the car makes you happy, then why not get it? Life can be hard. Anything that makes you smile, that's a good thing, here or at home. Right?

[threeisapattern]

yeah I guess so

it's just maybe there's better things to focus on for that? idk

Not at all. I would love to have my jeep back.

[threeisapattern]

you have a jeep too?

what kind?

[bad_crowmance]

My vote goes to "whatever makes you happy" and screw what anyone else thinks.

[threeisapattern]

yeah most people seem to lean toward that

or compromise

I don't think it's dumb. I guess the only thing I'd say is think about if it'll cost you a million dollars to buy or in repairs or something, but if it's just a little more it's probably worth it???

tbh it's up to you!

idk I mean the repairs aren't great

but

still

[anormie]

No way, man. Cars are like an intrinsic part of who we are! I'm definitely missing my baby right now too!

[threeisapattern]

what kind did you have?

[psychophilia]

hell no not stupid
get the car u luv

[threeisapattern]

so far I've learned that most people are pro sentimental value over practicality

[harvesthoney]

It doesn't sound dumb to me. More like nostalgic. It's okay to want a reminder of home as long as the car is safe and you like it.

[threeisapattern]

yeah

course that means I have to like find one that's safeish
