Can we all agree that spending more than $20,000 on a car is seriously ridiculous?
Like wow, you can get the same exact car except instead of a volvo or lexus logo it has a mercedes benz logo
Awesome
Does it do anything else that makes it worth the extra 20 THOUSAND dollars? No? It's the same thing? Alright then.

Owning a car is stupid to begin with.

Yeah if you live in Japan or Jew York City maybe

At that point it's just a display of wealth, which is something a lot of people are fine with.

There's more to a car than the exterior. This thing called handling, security and power for example. I agree its absolutely pointless for most people who will never peek under the hood unless it breaks fown, but for petrolheads it makes sense. If I could I'd get a corvette zr1 or noble m600 asap.

I bet you want them to live in tiny apartments instead of nice houses too.

Expensive cars are a social signalling device, just like clothes/house/etc. They let people know you're an important person.

I think buying a new car is ridiculous idiocy only a cluck with no concept of money management would do.

Spending $20,000 on a car isn't so bad if you own it, but personally I wouldn't pay more than $10,000.

Porsches are way more fun to drive than Volvos.

They accelerate better, they turn better, they even sound better. It's like a night and day difference. You should seriously learn to drive stick and give it a shot. It's like having a personal roller coaster.

Even if you can't afford a Porsche, a $10,000 BMW Z3 will handle better than whatever brand new $16,000 econobox you can muster up.
