Lease VS Buy, "/ Options

[weed]

So im getting my first official car (as in the car im paying for my goddamned self.)

The question is; Should i lease? Or Should i buy?

I know all the pro's and con's but i mean i just dont really see how they differ.

Does anyone out there own a leased car or Do you own a car you bought?

This is all so new to me.

If your a noob who has no car, dont bother

if you plan on driving a lot, buy it.
buying = no limitations on what you can do to your car (after your warranty is up anyway, but some people do as they like)
leasing = restrictions, certain mileage, car has to be in this condition, etc etc.

i bought my car, and good thing i bought it too. i racked 42,000 miles already in less than two years.
plus, i think it's too much of a hassle to lease and change cars every x amount of years.
you ride it till it dies :)
