Most people spend $10,000 or more annually on their vehicles after all expenses have been taken into consideration (car payments, gas, parking, insurance, maintenance, etc.). Instead, invest half the amount you would spend on a vehicle and keep the other half to freely waste on hookers and blow.
Your drivel would make more sense if all the posters on here that brag about living in the inner city didn't also own a car.

Even Bunk drives to work.
