    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.

          The innocent messenger just telling people how insanely expensive toys are not only affordable, but a good investment.

              Apparently you think so. You seem unable to do the “math” of seeing how worthless it was to tell everyone you have far more money than sense.

                No, I’m certain you just don’t understand the difference between a median 50% and 95% nor how easy it is for family’s in the 350k realm to pay for 15k of depreciation and taxes spread over 3 years 🤷‍♂️

                What’s so complicated understanding that desirable sports cars having good depreciation? I literally just looked at values. If I sold today, I would have had an effective payment of $525 a month. The car would have literally been cheaper then our outback albeit a much higher monthly 🤷‍♂️.
