    This guy can more easily fix his paint than my neighbor can fix her stolen catalytic converter, why isn't there an article about that?

    you know if somebody put literally any other similarly priced status symbol into public they'd get laughed at when it gets fucked with

      This is like my idea based on that actual tv show bait car . Leave a Fabergé egg on a public sidewalk on Rodeo Drive or 5th Ave or N Michigan. Brutally arrest the first fur coat wearing person to pick it up.

    I wanted a flashy ride since I was a kid, and was finally in a place where I could afford to be the 3rd hand owner of a Japanese bargain model well into my 30s, only to be wrapped with a sense of guilt and futility. Now, when I see an actual super car on the street, the first thing that I think about is how the owner MUST have more money than brains to be driving it on poorly maintained public roads. I freak out over bumps and potholes in a $20K used car that was actually engineered to be a daily driver, I couldn't imagine the feeling in a $200K one engineered for a track.

    Bump

      Audis are the fucking worst about this, too, since you have to disassemble half of the front end just to do anything more involved than changing the oil on most of them.

      Volkswagen delenda est and all that. Pretty much the only "luxury" brands even worth considering are Lexus and Acura, since they're still just rebadged Toyotas and Hondas. Well, except for the Lexus LS series -- those were purpose-built to last forever, and are amazing. I'd still have a heart attack if I hit a pothole in one, though. At least in a Tesla, you won't live long enough to regret it.

      I feel the same way about my Ural. I got it for under 5 grand but I treat it like it's a brand new Ducati, I can't imagine actually owning an expensive liter bike and trying to ride it around on these roads lmao.

    I always think anger against the obviously exceptionally rich like this is a reasonable and very natural response; even if people don't realise it, this is pretty much how fairness and balance in society naturally gets redressed - you got way more than the rest of us? That isn't fair, so screw your stuff.

    Obviously before you could actually protect your excessive wealth with a lot of guns and locks and state forces.

    I’m still surprised that in the cities there hasn’t been more keying campaigns in these cars.

    Would be nice to wake up to a story one day that every Porsche, Maserati, and whatever other cars that cost close to 100k, were vandalized in a clear coordinated action against the rich.
