Trader’s cars
Greeting gentlemen,
what cars do BB and HF traders who like cars drive? Talking about the people who well at trading….
( pls keep the tRafFic and mY md tAkeS the trAin/Tube/SubWay to yourself)
thanks
anecdotally.....
TONS of 911s. like TONS - usually Turbo Cabrio
An Aston here n there
Have seen Ferraris/Lambos - aka a 458/488 or a Gallardo/Huracan type (imo more Lambos than Ferraris - usally traded in for a tesla once the whole wife/kids thing kicks in)
Juniors that drive - usually a Z4/SLK or Cayman
note this is Asia
The Asia disclaimer is quite telling ngl
why? pretty standard imo - aside from the notable absence of vettes or mustangs ofc
HF traders idk.
BB Traders: I've seen Bus, Metro, Walk.
Note that it's also from Asia
Same for B5 in Toronto tbh
doesn't asia have a good metro system (at least for most part)?
ur right. I think that's one of the reason why I haven't seen many traders in BB don't ride sports cars or some good looking SUV when commuting
Porsche Taycan Turbo seems to be popular lately
High end practical for people with families- have seen lots of SUVs (BMW X5, Audi Q5, Tesla Model Y). Everyday cars also common (F150, Camry, Explorer, etc). A couple of Ferraris and Porsches sprinkled in for the big bosses (underlings may technically be able to afford them, but don’t want to show off). This is what I’ve observed in Houston.
Same comment from me in Houston. Lots of Porsches too
As someone who also lives in Houston. I have no idea how people can even drive sportscars here. The roads look and feel like they’ve been airstriked by Russia, and the parking lot entrances are at such an angle, its nearly impossible to not bottom out.
The only reason for this question is OP wants to jerk off to all the cars and dream about how he's gonna read Bloomberg and get all the chicks..... *faceplam*
It’s a liability in my book- insurance is higher, potholes and crappy pavement will damage your low riding super car, you get attention for all the wrong reasons, can’t leave it parked in many parts of town without worrying about break ins and theft. Seems like a lot of annoyances to put up with.
yeah honestly it's only good if ur in the suburbs and ur office is also in the suburbs or u have some nice open road with great views. At that point, I wouldn't mind renting a Porsche or Aston Martin.
I live in Manhattan and never had issues with it. Garage it when I’m in the city and use it to drive to LI, CT, or NJ. But isn’t a big concern.
whats wrong with that tho? if it motivates him to do well then more power to him. you sound like the type of guy to shit on people for liking wolf of wall street.
Huge part of what motivated me to get into the industry was the prospect of being able to afford nice cars
(though after briefly owning a 987 Cayman S ive concluded that servicing/parking/traffic/gas/tsunami waves of registration/paperwork and bureaucratic shit are all a massive headache not to mention not being able to drink lol)
I think most people know wolf of Wall Street is a movie. Only issue is when people actually think it's reality and forget it was made to entertain people.
Oh huge part of your motivation was for the cars? You're exaggerating right?
I know a few energy traders who mostly have BMW and Porsche SUVs (X5 or Cayenne).
Some other FX trader I know has a Tesla Model S.
energy traders on their way while profiting off high oil/gas prices to fill up their tanks.
That is correct no energy trader has ever been on the wrong side of prices going up.
oil guy
Audi sedan
Porsche 911
The tube
Aston Martin
From what i’ve seen in London, Porsche’s or Aston Martin’s seem to be the car of choice and quite a few I know have a Volvo as a second car for their countryside trips. Though not a trader, I drive an Audi SQ5, nothing too expensive. Hoping to eventually save up for a Range Rover SVR or Audi RS Q8 eventually.
I'm guessing because most of them have Aston martins because they grew up in Bond movies' heyday.
