    You just admitted the fucking thing cost $160K. There is zero chance you’d ever convince me that’s not expensive. $30K is what most people would call expensive. Jesus Christ how’s it possible to be so out of touch?

      Are you upper middle class? Then maybe that’s why you lack the ability to see how it’s affordable for the top 5% 🤷‍♂️

      You skipped immediately into an emotional argument and skipped by the actual cost to own 🤷‍♂️.

      This car here, ignoring resale value, costs less than my daycare, which I no longer have to pay 🤷‍♂️.

        It doesn’t matter if it literally makes you money to own, when it costs that much and you cannot see it, it’s probably because you and your friends are rich and shallow. Now, how’s that for actually getting emotional?

          I’m shallow for pointing out the ownership costs and liking cars? Yes, the cars with their resale values can sometimes even be free. That’s exactly my point. That’s how upper middle class people buy these. You have this weird fixation on attacking me for making a top 5% salary and explaining who actually owns these.

          I write open source code for a living. I can afford an expensive MSRP car because of these economics. What exactly has triggered you into hating me me so much?

            I don’t think anyone else remotely gives a shit how you explain the cost breakdown. The comments you made here come off extremely out of touch. That’s why you’re getting loads of downvotes on every single one.
