do you judge someone by the car they drive?

EVERYBODY judges the next person by the car they drive.
Whatever they drive, tells you SOMETHING about that person. If someone drives a Camry, they're going to be a different kind of person then someone who drives a v8 charger.
That means JUDGEMENT, you phuktards

Honestly yes I do. Obviously there are exceptions, but this is what I assume based on my life experience so far
Mustang/charger etc - douchebag who's bad with money
Bmw/audi etc - middle class goober trying to keep up with the jones
Lambo/ferrari - either a dumbass or actually rich
Giant jacked up truck - micropenis
Subaru/prius/crossover/hatchback - soyboys who like men
Scion - millennials who think they're cool but can't afford an actual nice car

Call up your local McLaren/Lamborghini dealership and ask how often the cars get leased/financed vs paid in full.
Unless you're buying a simple car that you plan on driving for a very long time, paying in full usually makes zero sense.

Instinct would make me think nicer car = richer person. But given the chance to think about it I wouldn't necessarily make that association unless it were clearly 60k+. We all know how much used Benz' and BMW's cost.
I see so many brokbois (I know where they work and what they make) driving luxury cars that I've learned nice car =/= rich. If I know roughly what they make and they're driving a car I feel to be "beyond" their means I would judge and think negatively of them for being materialistic, trying to stunt when they are poor and making bad financial decisions.
Also not going to lie if I see a woman in a balling ass car I assume her sugar daddy or husband owns or bought it for her.

Death is impossible for us to fathom: it is so immense, so frightening, that we will do almost anything to avoid thinking about it. Society is organized to make death invisible, to keep it several steps removed. That distance may seem necessary for our comfort, but it comes with a terrible price: the illusion of limitless time, and a consequent lack of seriousness about daily life. We are running away from the one reality that faces us all.

Absolutely but more by the condition of the car. Cleanliness of the interior. Amount of damage. Stupid looking bumper stickers. Etc.
Also when I see an older guy (25+) in a beater I tend to think he's probably a slacker or a loser. Lets be real, 99% of people out there aren't budget minded driving a beater to save money. They are driving the best they can afford.
Life is very fragile and fleeting. You can live on an intense budget and scrimp every single penny for years only to die before you spend or get a chance to enjoy your wealth/retirement. Its important to plan for the future, but it may never come. There are people in their 20s and 30s that die every single day in some kind of violent manner, from accidents, crashes, sudden medical issues, etc.
At a certain point you have to do the things you want, as long as its within reason. Some people don't want a miserable existence commuting from A to B in a chit-box. My primary means of transportation is a motorcycle. I can have the time of my life going from point A to point B. Even in the very least I don't mind spending 2-3hrs riding somewhere. After that kind of experience I can completely understand why people want to drive a vehicle that they enjoy/have fun in.

Then, when the time comes, you sell the chitbox, add the money from that + the money you would of spent on car payments, and go buy a better chitbox.
There is a reason why people like Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Warren Buffett drive chitboxes.

It also seems like you're assuming that someone who leases a McLaren is good with their money. Mike Tyson managed to blow half a billion dollars. The number of professional athletes that have done similar things while driving fancy cars is staggering.
Leasing a new car and financing a new car are unquestionably worse monetarily than buying a chitbox outright that already had its depreciation hit. There is absolutely no refute of that.

From my personal experience, being debt free is far more valuable and mentally rewarding than the small amount of vanity joy gained from driving around in a nice car you can't afford. And here is the thing... nobody is saying you can't have a nice car. You can still save and buy a bad ass used car that someone else willingly already took the depreciation hit on.

People may think I financed my car, but its completely paid off. However, when I see an $80k Benz parked outside, most of the time I would think it's financed but I could be completely wrong.
I agree though that having a nice car has its setbacks from people around you being lazy, hitting it, or just being jealous of what you have that they don't.

I dont really value cars that much. i have always driven a beater and always will.
I would like a nicer car but dont want to pay the payments so there we have it. I dont care what car people drive, i like to look at cool cars like every other guy but have zero intention of buying one.

lol at caring about something that constantly depreciates
dat consumerism
some of you sound absolutely pathetic tbh, if you can afford a nice car and own one then that's great, if you can't that's great too, as long as you have goals and ambitions, good values and aren't a scum bag -- those are how I judge. Not everyone starts life in a good home with money behind them, there are a lot of good people at different stages in life.

Recently went from a driving a 20 year old car with a V6 to a recent high performance muscle car and a V8 6.4L
Never settling for less after this.
Only semi downside is everyone tries to race me now. They think I should always be driving like Paul Walker or some chit.
Fun as fuk tho
Dont give a fuk if its a depreciating asset either. Work hard play hard simple as that, you only live once boyo

Sure, some guys buy cars just to show off but I rarely meet these people (mostly because they never drive their cars).
The guys I do run into are car fanatics that know every single detail about their car and enjoy driving the absolute piss out of them. They also want to know every detail about your car.

Viper - The good ones are raw. The daily ability is super limited but when driven as they are meant to be driven the experience is amazing. On the track you really need to know what you are doing.
Z06 - Super accessible power and performance but the car is so good that you will see them absolutely everywhere.
AMG GT S - What you should likely buy. Now that I have seen several in person I am totally blown away. The look, sound, performance and rarity are all top notch. Its a major step down from the RS7 when it comes to "daily" but who the hell cares, its an AMG GT-S.

I like cars and I love the feeling of rev matching going to second around a turn and munching it to get away from traffic (stupid California merging turn lanes). I could drop $60k and own the car, but way more fiscally responsible for me to finance it (800+ credit) and use that money to invest in my future (and have a fun toy). Sure it it would be better to buy $1000 Honda for cash. But you only get a few times around the block and you don't ever know when the ride is going to end so should have some fun while you can.
The fact that you like bad ass cars doesn't negate lighting money on fire.
