Living with mom and dad is becoming more normal but out of necessity not out of wanted to drive a lambo, lol.

I make significantly more than you listed but $700 a month would be pushing it.

Why does this look so much better than an SS?

The only thing worse than a $60k Challenger is a $60k Camaro.

“Then at one point he basically said he has never experienced a car outside of GM and all luxury cars are the same, just with styling differences.”

Front plates for sure
