I like cars, and even some luxury cars...
but it takes a special type of person to purchase a car that's 2-3x as expensive as a basic commuter to own and costs 2x to operate.
Think about all the Hellcats you see (not luxury... but)... 70k and under 10mpg for a fuckin 2 door
Yup. It does, doesn't it?
I know people with a lot of money to their name who buy second hand just to get around, and people with not much that end up with barely a cent to spare because they're paying a loan to own a car they couldn't really afford. Go figure.
"It takes a special type of person"- as you said.
Also, my comment wasn't a dig at people for liking or enjoying cars at all. It's about specific ones and how they're being driven around... we see them around right?
It's the same with motorcycles to.
The problem is never the vehicles themselves, obviously, it's the idiots that get drawn to them and ruin what others might enjoy in them as well.
