[quote=Anonymous]My dad is a "car guy". He has like six cars plus several motorcycles. One of his cars is Lamborghini but he doesn't drive it that much anymore (he's in grandpa mode now) Two of his cars are 50 years old and he works on them himself -- one is an old Porsche roadster and I can't remember what the other one is. Some car they haven't made in a long time. He also has a truck for hauling stuff and an older Range Rover which he keeps saying he needs to get rid of. His day to day car is a Mini Cooper he bought on a whim but quickly became his favorite. He says it's fun to drive and he likes that he can just fit a car seat or booster in the back seat if he needs to.

He would never by a Volvo or a Tesla. Those are boring cars. Volvos are for people who actively do not like driving, and definitely don't like driving fast. A Tesla is a status symbol but often an actual PITA to own. Our friends with one obviously love never buying gas, but also have to get it fixed more than anyone I know and it's always really inconvenient to do so.

Rich people with these cars are, indeed, not car people. They may also be tedious and unimaginative, certainly their car choices are. My dad would find their cars annoying because these are people who could afford to drive something fun or interesting and they chose not to. You might find their cars annoying because they are super predictable and status conscious. But they aren't lying when they say they aren't car people.[/quote]
