I love that quote. Well said and well used.

This looks genuinely interesting. It looks like a totally credible EV concept.

*Wanders off into the forest looking back sullenly over shoulder*

You can, and I’ve known billionaires that daily a Sienna. 

Well put. You can wear vintage Brooks Brothers, drive a Grand Wagoneer and still be abhorrent.

Look on the bright side, next time someone asks you what the opposite of Nordic Minimalism is, you can show them this picture. 

You are a person of taste and distinction. 

“Understated” in this sentence refers to Jason, not Americans. 

You sound like someone who gets their worldview exclusively from television. I’m sorry that I upset your fragile perspective, and I hope calling me racist made you feel better about yourself.

I was specifically talking about Torch. America still has all kinds of ostentatious shit.

Our last president certainly had terrible taste, but apart from his dalliance with politics, he was 20+ years past his cultural prime.

Sorry if this was vague. “Understated” is in reference to Torch who seems to cherish earth tones, plaids and welcoming design.

They started down this road by collaborating with Virgil Abloh on a G-Wagon last year. I don’t think an LV or Off White branded Maybach is particularly far fetched.

They heyday of American tackiness has come and gone. Our new billionaires wear hoodies and brown wingtips. Our old money displays wealth through philanthropy.

It will be a tough transition. It’s nice that we could give them one last Boomer president to make things go a little smoother.

Jason, your problem is that you’re American with tastes that skew toward the understated. You project yourself as sweet, quirky and intelligent. I’ve always assumed you moonlight in an alt-rock band that plays lots of ukulele heavy songs about tail light design.

You made me curios as to what that rock would look like. To avoid exposure to the Weeknd, one would have needed to have steered clear of:

Thank you for saying this. I was rolling my eyes at the bewilderment in the comments. His music has been inescapable since 2015. 

I always assumed it was about being in love with a dental hygienist.

I read this in Hank Hill’s voice.
