You are not annoying me. Its not like you are tossing around insults like some of the clowns here. Its fun pointless banter and debate to pass time. I was not trying to make equivalencies in the last paragraph. Only trying to illustrate the point that among the wealthy’s car owner experiences, they treat their cars in…

Dude was rich as fuck, wife divorces and has a better lawyer somehow, fleeces him for everything but he demands the F40. He lost his job as a banker and now works at Costco, but he'll be damned if he gives up the F40. 

Lol. Remember, poor reading comp(rehension).

He could be a slum lord and own the neighborhood. He could have won it in a bet. He could be a drug dealer holding the car as collateral for a front and is treating the car rough as a way to incentivize the debtor. Maybe his uncle bequeathed it to him with the understanding he couldn’t sell it. He could be suffering…

Maybe he has two. One that is pristine and another one, maybe salvaged, to drive as a...beater. man calling an F40 a beater hurt. God I hope it was totaled at some point and he gave it a second life.

I can answer all these questions. I’m really rich. (Ok, not really but let’s just pretend.) I chose the F40 because it’s cool and I can afford it. And it was available.

Ok... I do think there are fair points here. I still think it’s hard to know what mix of variables are factoring in here, but I work with startups a lot (which I don’t usually love). FWIW, my company likes to hire younger adults for reasons that benefit both sides and I think it’s worked out well generally. I will…

I’ve always heard, “the nut behind the wheel is loose.”

Cars keep getting more expensive, the amount of money/loan payments are going to keep getting more expensive. The problem is wage growth not matching or exceeding consumer goods.

used cars that fall into the “under 100k mile, worth half what they were new” category are not quite a plentiful.

Blaming Mellenials is dumb, I blame the baby boomers who reaped all the benefits and destroyed the system for generations ahead of them. 

The Nissan 350z/370z. People today hate them because they are “old” and “dated.” But they actually offer an incredible, raw, pure sports car experience that’s rare. What people said about 911s in 99 is what people say about Zs in 19.

I would say whatever I thought the previous owner wanted to hear.

Looks like it ran when parkoured.

On the plus side, you know that it did indeed ran when parked.

What, you don’t enter your PIN number into LCD display on the ATM machine?

That was a legitimate “Thank you.” I needed a different perspective on his car. I have had a hard time with the idea of what to do with it on the day that he passes it down to me. He is the original owner and has taken car of it since 72' so it’s a sentimental thing. But it’s a car I would never considering buying own…

I recently bought a car for $2K (for my girlfriend’s kid) and the seller didn’t feel the need to lie to me at all.  

Ha - this brings back some memories. I sold a car on Craigslist (first and last time) in the early 2000's. It was an old Saturn (100k miles or so) that I got from my buddy in trade for a set of rims and tires. I drove it for a winter and then listed it for $500. It had no power steering (buddy thought it would be…
