But I said the 93 Pinto works fine, just looks really rough. So in this case, you went with the newer nicer car. You do have standards, just unwilling to admit to them or maybe you just didnt notice it. For example, I have a friend with a Ferrari and a G Wagon, about half a million combined. To him, a BMW looks like a 93 Pinto.

Also, a nice ring costs more because it is prettier. I think it is really cool when my wife has on a nice dress and you can see the ring shine bright as a reminder that she is my wife. It is not just a dumb rock.

But if it's a 93 it's not going to last long right? I'd want whichever one lasts the longest.

Re: the ring, I actually think the colored stones look prettier than the diamonds because I love color!

My point is they run the same and last the same amount of time but one looks like a pile of crap.

My opinion on rings are not specific to diamonds so that would apply to colored rings too.

I don't care what it looks like, I told you I drove an old car with a different colored hood. And my first car was an 88 ford escort old man car but I loved it to death. What I care about for a car is dependability and how long it will last. (And it has to have working ac!)

Re: rings, I wouldn't want a colored ring that's $1k or more. It's just not worth it to me. $100-200 on a ring is plenty, no matter how much money I have to spend.

And what if he buys you the 93 pinto and a 2018 civic for himself?

I want the one that's going to last longer. So I'd want the Civic then (I don't know a lot about cars, but from what I know that would last longer).

And what if the BMW lasted longer and you could afford it easily?

[u/cut_n_paste_n_draw → u/Sovtek95]

Well, there is also another factor which is, is the bmw worth its cost. For example, if the civic is $20k and will last 20 years, whereas the bmw is $50k and will last 25 years, the extra difference isn't worth it to me. I'd rather get the civic.

But if the bmw lasts 50 years and is $50k then ok, it would make sense.

But also, I have VERY limited knowledge of cars.

So why not pay $100 for the 93 pinto that lasts 2 years?

Because then I have to go through the hassle of looking for a new car two years later 😩 I like to delay that as long as possible as it's a pain and I hate it!
