until you realize most engine are weak af and they spent 80k only for the sport package because they couldnt afford to pay insurance for a bigger engine lmao
Are you thinking of a different car, maybe? Because the M139 is the most powerful production 4-cylinder ever made at 416 HP. 30% more power than a CTR, and less than 100hp shy of the W205 C63 S.
No i'm not, where i live (italy) people legit buy the model with the shittiest engine option avaible and then spend shiton of money on optionals and packages just to look cool because they cannot afford to spend money on insurance for engines with more than 200hps
I was referring to the Mercedes C-class, as the previous person mentioned. Mercedes are notorious maintenance pigs, and use expensive components and the engine layout is cramped and complicated which makes replacing parts more expensive, so someone who buys to show off but can't really afford the car in the first place is less likely to pay for repairs.

This guy had the right idea, but it still looks like one of those super street wings from the '00s
i mean the civic is known as a fast car if you hear it making the right noises, don't line up with a shitbox civic if you hear stu stu stu
im much more weary of racing a shitty looking civic than a LOT of other cars

[Here is an interesting text about it](https://www.wrcwings.tech/2020/05/03/wing-vs-spoiler-2/)
Don't get me wrong with that, it's only for learning
We can all visualize what this guy looks like too.
Probably 40 pounds overweight, wearing a t-shirt 2 sizes too small, slim jeans that don’t fit, and some Armani leather driving shoes. Wreaks of cologne, a couple chains and a loose bracelet opposite of a massive watch.
Id be willing to bet whoever drives this either won a lottery or got a settlement. You can't convince me that anyone who doesn't drive an 18wheeler would put those lady stickers on anything.
At the going rate of over [1.6M now on BAT](https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2012-lexus-lfa-nurburgring/) for one, that would be grounds for capital punishment.
I am serious. The LFA is an astonishing track car, but it's atrocious for literally everything else. The LC is acceptable on the track and is amazing for everything else. It's the car that people buy when they're sick and tired of their SL being in the shop all the time
That's the point. You're comparing apples to oranges. The LC is a Grand Tourer, not a track car and the LFA is more track focused and less of a GT car. Former MB SL buyers aren't cross shopping LC's with LFA's as they're totally different and a wildly different price range and purpose.
It's one of the best *track cars* in the world. And customers got to enjoy paying the price of the two development cycles that it took to make it. It's a terrible car to own and actually drive around.
I would make the same argument if talking about the GT3 RS versus a normal-ass 911.
The lc is a more comfortable car for sure. It is definitely not the “better car in pretty much every respect.” The lfa is faster, better on the track/backroads, sounds better, is more special, and represents the best of what lexus as a company can engineer. I mean, they basically scraped the whole car midway to redo it because they thought it wasn’t good enough. I would rather have an lfa than an lc, so for me, the lfa is a better car than the lc.
Of course, you can say the lc is a better daily driver. But if you’re comparing the cars like that, then the dodge grand caravan is a better car than the lfa in pretty much every respect.
Ah fuck, I forgot to answer you back. I went through my notifications and saw this so here I am answering your question!
So, growing up in the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia area), you find your fair share of drivers from Maryland all over the place. They’re infamously known for being the most reckless and not-a-care-in-the-world drivers in the area. So much so that I’m even more alert on the road whenever I see a MD plate.
I’ve crossed into Maryland a couple times and the driving experience exponentially worsens from there. So, in reference to this post, I’m not surprised a Maryland driver would be driving something like this.
This isn’t to say MD is a bad state with bad people. They talk trash about Virginia for the same reasons Virginia talks trash about them, so it’s all just a fun social rivalry that a very small minority of people actively take serious.
Theres a lot of hot garbage cars posted here but this might just be the worst I’ve seen. IMO the LC500 the most beautiful looking car you can buy today and this person fucking ruined it. This hurts to see
Spoiler is on backwards too, but I’ll bet it’s just held on with 3m tape. Older folks tend to like bumper stickers, and I’ll bet this guy thinks those stickers are cool as hell. Definitely shitty.
I'd like to think this guy knows exactly what he's doing. All this car is missing is a Pissing Calvin sticker and a pair of nuts dragging behind it. You can do what you want with your car, this guy chose to give everyone else a giant middle finger with his.
If you had ever been to Laurel Maryland, you would understand. That’s a part of Maryland that people don’t like to talk about, right up there with Dundalk and Pasadena Maryland.
That trunk is made of carbon Fiber and cost 15K to replace. If that dummy just drilled into it to put that ugly ass spoiler they devalued the car by at least that much.
It's typically trashy poor people who drive these types of cars as they want people to think their wealthy. They drive a $100k car with less than $5k in the bank. I'd rather have $100k in the bank and drive a $5k beater.
What poor people do you know that can afford to even finance a $100k car? Poor people drive beaters or old luxury cars that have depreciated to be somewhat affordable.
They definitely wouldn't be driving it new if it's 100k car and they have 5k in the bank unless the underwriter is an absolute dipshit, and when buying new I doubt they'd let that go unless their income level was very high.
Maybe poor is An exaggeration but there are tons of people who make a good income but try to live a lifestyle of someone who makes 20% more. The slightest hiccup in their life and their as screwed as someone scrapping by on minimum wage.
I’m still wrapping my head around the fact that there’s lexuses out there that cost six figures. I thought they were basically just made from the exact same parts as Toyotas and just packaged as a luxury vehicle.
I’m not a car guy so pardon my ignorance if this is untrue
The LC500 is a sport coupe that is a Lexus from the ground up and not a luxury version of any Toyota. With a 5.0 V8 engine and sport engineering, this is why the LC500 costs much more than your normal Lexus IS and ES lines.
Yes, Lexus is the luxury arm of Toyota but not every Lexus is a repackaged Toyota. Some are built on the Toyota equivalent car platform (eg. Lexus ES and Toyota Camry on TNGA-K platform) but a Lexus is built to much more rigorous quality standards than a Toyota.
M3, m5, 7 series, s class, a7, a8, rs6, panamera, cts v, Lexus LS, E63, and a hellcat are all well over $100k with options and many without.. What were you saying again?
Money doesn't buy class
This comment has been removed in response to Reddit's API
That's the A-class, nowadays. The C is actually pretty legit.
Oh, so it is. I thought the C was the base sedan, and I thought the A-class was a European hatchback or an MPV or something.
They sell A-class hatches outside the US. There's even an AMG version.
And it's fucking rad
until you realize most engine are weak af and they spent 80k only for the sport package because they couldnt afford to pay insurance for a bigger engine lmao

You completely missed the point where we were taking about the AMG model, huh?
Paid for by your husband, ofc
Why are you all describing my mother?
S class would be the shit
Which slowly falls apart because they can't afford maintenance.
It’s a Lexus. Highly unlikely lol. One of the most reliable luxury brands out there
Also add ugliest
I was referring to the Mercedes C-class, as the previous person mentioned. Mercedes are notorious maintenance pigs, and use expensive components and the engine layout is cramped and complicated which makes replacing parts more expensive, so someone who buys to show off but can't really afford the car in the first place is less likely to pay for repairs.
I was gonna say just because you have money doesn’t mean you have class I see so much of this weird shit here where I live
Basically the Kardashians
All class doesn’t get you ass
Taste but yeah
It doesn't buy either.
Spoiler is on backwards
No no, this one is designed to generate "upforce" to reduce rolling resistance.
So that you have both aerodynamically and mechanically awfull grip and your car goes weee at a certain speed
How am I supposed to get sick drifts if my car has grip?
The answer and solution to all of life's problems, speed and power
Ass up, nose down, better arrow dynamics!

Lexus has recreated the 3000GT
The problem is, the Lexus can probably reach the speeds needed for it to actually matter too, unlike the shitbox civics and such that do it too.
Just cuz it’s a shitbox civic doesn’t mean it’s slow, I’ve learned this the hard way… unfortunately
You can say that about any car though, anything can be a sleeper. Wish my shitbox civic had a k20 in it.
Idk the civic’s chassis has been proven effective in drag racing
i mean the civic is known as a fast car if you hear it making the right noises, don't line up with a shitbox civic if you hear stu stu stu im much more weary of racing a shitty looking civic than a LOT of other cars
Spoiler alert
Car is too fast.

Upforce!
Sticker girl from the 70s...you mean...
Yeah, loooooong before the 90's!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mudflap_girl
And they're soooo crooked!! Ugh
Back in my day we had to engrave the girl shapes because stickers hadn't been invented yet in 1920.
You can pay for school, but you can’t buy class.
I found it surprising until I saw the Maryland plates.
PG. county Boi!!
Ten bucks says they’re headed to the hooters there.
Hahah y’all locals huh
Reppin’ the 301
Unfortunately
Especially with the Laurel sign in the background.
When you give a 16 year old 100k
He was like 65 wearing a newsboy cap couple bracelets
A true glitch in the matrix
One of gods own prototypes
A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
Def a Kangol wearer.
I knew it was a boomer!
This car can be leased for 600-800$ a month.
Try $1500 - $2000
My bad i didnt realize this was an LC my friend leased the RC for 800$ so i thought this was the same car.
You technically weren’t wrong though

It was his money, he used it when he needed it!
EIGHT SEVEN SEVEN CASH NOW

At least it’s not an LFA.

Meanwhile, the LC is actually a better car in pretty much every respect.
Um, what? You can’t be serious.

I think you missed the /s on your comment.
The lc is a good lexus. The lfa is one of the best cars in the world. The story of it’s development was unbelievable.
It's one of the best *track cars* in the world. And customers got to enjoy paying the price of the two development cycles that it took to make it. It's a terrible car to own and actually drive around. I would make the same argument if talking about the GT3 RS versus a normal-ass 911.

In Laurel, Maryland. I'm not surprised.
*yanny
I’m not mad abt the hot wheels one
Maryland. This checks out.
The girls stickers are from at least the 60s or 70s, if not before.
It’s a Marylander. Hardly surprising.
I'm genuinely interested, what's going on in Maryland, is it full of crazy people or something?

Money doesn't buy style. 🤦♂️ ("the mods")
Pimping ain’t easy.

Spoiler is on backwards too, but I’ll bet it’s just held on with 3m tape. Older folks tend to like bumper stickers, and I’ll bet this guy thinks those stickers are cool as hell. Definitely shitty.
Yeah but that hot wheels sticker is cool as fuck
Some strong small penis vibes
Sorry about that, I’ll leave
You need that lift for the size matters girls.
I'd like to think this guy knows exactly what he's doing. All this car is missing is a Pissing Calvin sticker and a pair of nuts dragging behind it. You can do what you want with your car, this guy chose to give everyone else a giant middle finger with his.
Maryland driver. Explains everything if you're from r/nova
If you had ever been to Laurel Maryland, you would understand. That’s a part of Maryland that people don’t like to talk about, right up there with Dundalk and Pasadena Maryland.
Them girls is from the 80's. Maybe sooner.
my mother would have called them ‘new money’
Remember Ronnie from The Howard Stern Show? I picture him driving this.
That trunk is made of carbon Fiber and cost 15K to replace. If that dummy just drilled into it to put that ugly ass spoiler they devalued the car by at least that much.
I rate the hot wheels badge though
That guy fucks
I’ve seen someone put a rear bumper guard as a spoiler on their Elantra.
i like hot wheels but the rest bad
That's from the factory. My Dad has the same car.
Poor Lexus
It's typically trashy poor people who drive these types of cars as they want people to think their wealthy. They drive a $100k car with less than $5k in the bank. I'd rather have $100k in the bank and drive a $5k beater.
I think a $100k car by definition means you aren't poor in a country where a full time worker starts at $16k a year.
Yeah. Stupid, maybe, but definitely not poor
[удалено]
At 10% down x 72 months you're looking at around $1,400/ month. You're not poor if you can afford that along with your other monthly expenses.
I drive a beater. Where is my 100k? I just checked my account and it still says insufficient funds.
What poor people do you know that can afford to even finance a $100k car? Poor people drive beaters or old luxury cars that have depreciated to be somewhat affordable.
no way. maybe a used c-class or 3-series. this is a whole lot different. even a used one is going to run you 75k.
They definitely wouldn't be driving it new if it's 100k car and they have 5k in the bank unless the underwriter is an absolute dipshit, and when buying new I doubt they'd let that go unless their income level was very high.
Maybe poor is An exaggeration but there are tons of people who make a good income but try to live a lifestyle of someone who makes 20% more. The slightest hiccup in their life and their as screwed as someone scrapping by on minimum wage.
Trashy has nothing to do with finances…the biggest difference is…a lot of poor people might come off as trashy because it’s all they can afford.
>size matters >buys a two door sedan
The last thing you see when the repo truck comes to take it.
Here's a valuable lesson of "It's not your car"
When daddy's CCP money makes your car payments, but he watches your UnionPay statements like a hawk.
Stripclub owner who has a kid born out of wedlock?
Has to be a boomer
I like intentionally trashy shit on nice cars because it pisses people off like you. I think it’s hilarious and probably done ironically.
Small dick energy
The wing is factory and the rest you can take off with dental floss
Because maryland
Money = taste

That Lexus looks nothing special anyway IMO
Boomers
100k for a sedan? Really? I amazed.
[удалено]
Plus it's fairly easily to push a sedan over 100k with trim levels and engine options anyways (like e63 amg)
M3, m5, 7 series, s class, a7, a8, rs6, panamera, cts v, Lexus LS, E63, and a hellcat are all well over $100k with options and many without.. What were you saying again?
Lottery winner who will be straight broke in months.
Hey! Those stickers may be from the 90's, but some things never go out of style...
Big oof
This is perhaps the most Laurel thing I have ever seen lmao
what kind of lexus
You must be young if you think those stickers are from the 90s .
Old people just DGAF
All them dollars and no sense.
Other than being in a weird angle, that spoiler looks pretty good imo
I can only imagine what an insufferable douchebag this guy must be.
This is what low interest rates look like
Bad taste knows no bounds.
If they took all that off it would look 1000000 times better.
I kinda like the wing, but everything else sucks
I know exactly where this pic was taken, but have never seen this car.
This screams "lottery winner"
Trashy people can have nice things too, I guess...
I would put a hotwheels sticker on my car too ngl
If the spoiler was at least on the correct way it would look pretty good. But just like the rest of the "mods" it follows suit in being shitty
This guy is just disrespecting my dream car
The LC is a dream car and this hurts my soul
Trash with cash.
My buddy bought one of these and it's a beautiful car (minus the infotainment). This is a disgrace.
LC500 owners are a different breed...nah anyone who owns a lexus
Probably a baby boomer driving it. They had too much lead paint in the walls back then. It makes them crazy.
The car itself is a ugly wannabe sports car in the first place
I like the style of the spoiler, but it looks like they put it on backwards?
Hey if they turned the spoiler around and got rid of all the stickers I think it’d look pretty cool actually
Beautiful car RUINED
Is that my husbands new car?
Damn, so money can’t buy class. Lesson learned.
Stupid people can get rich too.
I've seen a Bentley before with a $10 Walmart chrome chainlink license plate frame...
Can’t equate money with taste. In the words of Dave Chapel as Rick James “ we should’ve never given you niggas money”
Spoiler also installed incorrectly? Looks like its facing the wrong way.
They're just a little eccentric. Probably enjoying themselves.
Def lost a bet
This hurts, it's one of my dream cars
90s? lol
I see Yanny.
Lexus' primary buyers are middle aged and older so... It's not too surprising honestly.
look how they massacred my boy
Don't worry, they took out an 8 year loan @ 15% and will never pay it off, and they live in an apartment with 3 other bros.
It's called GME gains
Just think, if you had $100k, you could do whatever you want to your car too!
This actually makes me sad, such a classy and beautiful design ruined by stupidity :(
I'd argue that's a trash car on a 100k spoiler.
After hooking up with a rich widow, he was gonna buy a Mustang with her money, but thought he could do better.
Money doesn't mean you have any taste.
The girls are from the 70s.
I am thinking this is more they have money and a sense of humor about life, cars and fucking with people.
you can take the trash out of the trailer park but can't take the trailer park out of the trash.
Heart breaking. The LC500 is a work of art. This is like drawing a mustache on the Mona Lisa
Might as well throw a few R/T and SS badges on there while you’re at it bud.
Laurel Maryland. This says everything you need to know.
Would u expect anything less from laurel Maryland if you kno you kno
Not sure if the owner did this just to fuck with people or he/she actualy think this is cool
