Wow you guys must be the life of the party. Are you the kind of people who pass on everything saying its imoral/celebrating something bad nobody else gives a damn?
Maybe people like having nice things that stand out from the others?

No, they're [I]clearly[/I] compensating for their lack of masculinity!

That means me and my buddies are manly as FUCK.

It's a very nice car for a "ricebox," mate. Quite aesthetically pleasing, I think it's the color that does it.

haha get a load of this guy
[QUOTE=BrainDeath;46297822]you're arguing details here you can't actually deny that muscle cars are needlessly expensive to fuel masculinity extenders[/QUOTE]
I own a 2011 Dodge Challenger.
Why?
Because I like muscle cars, especially 1970s-80s Mustangs. I bought a used Challenger (which I had been saving up for around six years to buy) since I loved the look of the older Mustangs, this particular year and model looks so much like them, and I really wanted one. I've had the car for just over two years and love it and will never need to get a new car until this one dies on me.
I didn't buy it because I feel insecure about my masculinity, so I can speed, so I can "show it off" or so I feel good about myself. I bought it because I like those kinds of cars.
I also really don't blame this guy for putting the traffic cones around his car. A lot of people (I imagine especially in a place like NYC where it's pretty crowded) would end up denting his doors/scratching the paint because they don't know how to open their car doors at NOT Mach 2.

Yeah, Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond don't like cars at all. They hate them!
Car would probably look better in silver gray, black or even dark blue, just my opinion though.

I don't really like the Dodge Challenger at all but the owner still has the right to like their car and not wanting anyone to damage it
This cone idea is so simple and doesn't impede anyone, that whenever I get the car I'm saving up for I might just do this too.

Yeah I totally agree, was just pointing out that I found the color a bit meh. Too close to the kind of orange you'd find on a construction field (see the cones).

The appeal of an orange Challenger, at least for me, would be Dukes of Hazzard.
Yeah I know the car in that show was a Charger but they fucked up the look of the new Charger beyond belief. It's almost like the new Challenger was an apology car.
[QUOTE=AJisAwesome15;46298116]never cared about what kind of car i have
as long as it gets me from point a to point b, i'm cool with having some old clunker[/QUOTE]
Different strokes for different folks. It's like saying "as long as I can use it for work, any old PC is fine"
Quite a lot of people see cars as more than some tool to go from A to B.
For some it's about social status, others as a sort of fashion statment, others want something that's just fast, others want economy, others want 7 seats, others transport a lot of stuff regularly, others want to to feel the wind in their balding head, others want something fun to drive that will provide them the best driving experience, others want something with lots of safety features, others want something that does a lot of the driving for them, others want something they can do a lot of customization on, others want something ecological they can take on their way to the organic food store, others want something with brand prestige, and others just wanna show off their wealth...
etc, etc...
It's fine if you don't care about what car you have, but it should be easy to understand why certain people would want a specific type of car or, indeed. a specific car.
The reason I'm going on about this is nothing against you, you didn't say or do anything wrong. It's just because it kinda bugs me when people try to force this mindset on others, trying pointlessly to convince others that caring about cars is stupid or other similar nonsense.

Same for elitists that talk shit about others for liking/not liking a cartain car, brand, type of car, etc.
Awesome car, if it was mine I would probably put cones around it too,
+ clamp all wheels (so no one steals wheels or car)
+get highest possible insurance,
+park somewhere in safe area (even though I had to walk then)
I am paranoid (always)
In Ireland people place cones on empty parking spots right beside their door step, don't have to obey them but people usually do, because sometimes if you remove cone and park in someones spot you might find that you need a new wipers or a tyre inflator.
I like cars. I love my truck.

Well, taking some cones and putting them in the car's boot isn't very time consuming. Parking it far away on purpose and clamming all wheels is, and sometimes you just want/need to get out of the house, get in the car and just go. You'd probably get bored eventually. I would.
[QUOTE=Juniez;46297875]it was a jab at your sudden unprovoked connection between muscle cars and masculinity compensation. The suggestion was that you were taking your self-denied need to compensate onto muscle cars and projecting them onto a common attribute: you were the only one obsessed enough to make an unrelated comment about a lack of masculinity.
I hope this helped clear up any confusion.[/QUOTE]

I totally support what this guy is doing. He's not blocking anyone, the cones are no more of an 'eyesore' than the colour of his car, he's not witholding the parking space as he says. I'm actually still a little confused as to what exactly his neighbours are complaining about. If someone did this same thing where I park, I wouldn't really think twice. Hell, I'd consider doing it myself, my car means a lot to me (don't really have much else in life to be honest) and people are always coming far too close for comfort to hitting it. And it's not a racecar, it's a nice luxury sedan / limo, so there's no 'race driver / muscle car / hoon' stereotype to be had there either.
The downside though is that I bet you anything one of his pissed off neighbours is going to go and key his shiny new car just to be a prick.
I wouldn't buy an expensive car because it's a waste of money. I save all my money for retirement.
Fuck Park Slope. I worked there for a few months (I live in Williamsburg, yes, [I]that one[/I]), and let me tell you that most people there are literally fucking humanoid piles of shit. They're roughly 70% of the neighborhood. We would get old, entitled fogies who didn't give a shit about any social manners or human decency. The rest are pretty nice.
Muscle cars are only penis compensation!!!! *proceeds to buy 100 games for his 3000 dollar computer*
What purpose do the cones serve...?

He spent all his money on his car so he has no money left to spend on insurance.

Why save up for a time when your body would be physically and mentally less capable of doing things you would enjoy doing? Unless you could retire real early..
