"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I look for a smooth ride and power in a car. I have enough funds to $60 - 70K.
Do you own a house?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

if you have that much money available to you and you don't have a house, and you are looking at a car, you really, really n eed to do some soul searching.

Unless you are well off financially, there's no need to spend $60-70k on a car

i'm not one to tell a guy how to spend his money... if he likes nice cars, hell.. i spend more money on expensive clothes than I should, buy clothes I haven't worn yet, etc.. everyone has their vices.

But I will say, buying a CAR, not one to just get from a to b, but a REAL, 50k plus car, without having some serious equity in your house, is asking for it.

that is the difference between making a living, even a good one, and building WEALtH.

I don't like the current 5 that much, so I'll say the M3 or even a used Porsche 911, or the 335i, but if it's between those two, easily the 5. Benzes are overpriced, underengineered, and keep many a mechanic shop in business. Their biggest selling point is the logo - beyond that, you can do far better.

Maintenance still the factor. European cars are considerably more expensive than American or Japanese when it comes to maintenance and repairs.
Well, we were talking specifically about diesel vs. gasoline (engines) and the cost of gas. As far as maintenance is concerned, it has been well documented that diesel's require less maintenance. There's no big secret why; they have fewer parts and are just less complicated.

The overall car I have no comment on.
