  • 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 drive cars like these. I just code.

    Lambos, Porsches, Ferrari’s all have most of their line up attractively priced for upper middle class people. Especially when you consider cost per mile vs the price tag.

    My 911 GTS, with a price tag of 160k will have cost me maybe 7 or 8k to own for 3 year, mostly in insurance, assuming no huge price changes.

    If you buy the right cars and can afford the payment, these cars are not incredibly expensive to own. You’re thinking of hypercars.



  • My hood has a bunch of rock chips from the track. So I did buy a $40 cheap as fuck wrap off Amazon and did my hood well enough for a first time.

    I’m hesitant to do it on the nicer paint, but honestly, it’s not even a full side on my white car. I should nut up and finally do it when warm.

    It’s popularity had nothing to do with the protocol and making cries to such does nothing.

    Make fediverse competitive client wise, and stop screeching at peoples in the center when they call Gavin progressive 🤷‍♂️. It’s not the tech that keeps people away, it’s the users.
