The car.

They say the 2 happiest days of a boat owner's life is when they buy the boat and when they finally sell the bloody thing

[–] Friend@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Boat. It's always been a dream of mine.

[–] Coliseum7428@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Assuming things are taken care of financially, I would pick the fancy boat. It sounds like a lot of fun to be on one and I like being in water. I wouldn’t pick the car because I feel like it’ll have the same experience as a car, just slightly nicer. Maybe with a chauffeur…

I was going to ask stuff like "how fancy is the boat", like could I just fuck off and live on it? But then I very quickly reminded myself I get such heinous motion sickness I avoid boats (and anything that sways even mildly) like the plague, and if I have no choice I take about 3 times the recommended dose of anti-sickness tablets.
So - car.
lol

Though I will push that definition and go for something I could still fuck off and live in comfortably. Then buy a small plot of land somewhere remote and disappear.

Depend on the definition and scale of "Fancy". The $12 million you'd need for the Rolls-Royce Sweptail does get you way, way more bang for your buck if you buy something like the McConaghy Adastra Superyacht instead.

Fancy boat, for sure. I'll never own property but I'm down to live on a yacht. Rich people problems without the "fuck you" money to go with it!

[–] AshDene@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Boat, definitely. A nice hybrid-electric yacht with solar panels.

A fancy car is just a cheap car that costs more to maintain to me.

A fancy boat is a house that moves.

[–] zlatiah@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Almost always the car except for some edge cases.
The only situation I'd take the boat is if 1) I already have a pickup truck or an SUV or something to haul the boat, 2) I live <30min from a nice boating spot, and 3) I don't already have a boat. Then yeah I'd take a boat (any boat) since it'd be an experience I otherwise don't have
Realistically... I'm not sure by "fancy" you mean Lexus- or Lamborghini-level fancy, if it is the latter I couldn't ever afford it lmao

Why choose?

[–] String@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

a fancy boat because it would probably be pretty big and I'd be able to live in it pretty comfortably, I hope. as long as I don't get motion sick

[–] Nougat@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Depends on the definition of "fancy." Boats get way more fancy than cars.

[–] Onii-Chan@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Without question, the car. Boats are absolute nightmares to own and maintain, and a car offers far more everyday utility.

[–] TerabyteRex@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

boat. it depends whta fancy means but i want to silent yacht 80. its the biggest solar power yacht i can get and handle without a crew.

[–] platysalty@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

a fancy cat

[–] bluGill@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I.have no interest in either. I drove my 24 year old truck to work today and that was good enough. (Going to the office is a rare thing, I normally work from home). The truck also serves truck things no car can do, and by truck things I mean the types of things that damage trucks and thus I wouldn't want a fancy truck.

My idea is of a boat is q canoe, and i'd like my next one to be one I.build myself, so again no interest. If I want something more in a boat i'll rent and let someone else worry about it when i'm done.

Fancy boat

I grew up on a lake, always had a boat. My parents retired and got a fancy boat to live on. I know the work and money that goes into a boat, I really do, but nothing beats falling asleep being rocked by gentle waves. We don't live on the lake or river anymore, but we're close. It would be worth it!

Plus, I love our current car and just don't want anything fancier.

[–] Damaskox@kbin.social 1 points 6 months ago

Fancy car.
I'd give it away in a heartbeat though.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Car for sure. Can't sell it but sure as fuck can insure it ... and ain't no one stealing a boat

[–] lawyerjsd@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

The smart play is to take the car. Saltwater corrodes everything and the upkeep of any boat is an absolute nightmare.

BUT, boating is a pure leisure activity, unlike driving. And a really fancy boat is sort of like an AirBnB.
