[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think luxury cars are typically tacky and showy but I love quite modest luxury cars like Lexus and Volvo.

And new cars. After 18 months cars feel old. Life is short, drive new. [/quote]

I have a 15 year old rusty Ford truck and actively dislike driving my ILs’ Lexus.  My truck suits me perfectly.  I have no desire to upgrade but in any given week drive 2 hours total, and that is just for school pickup and the grocery store.

[b]I can’t understand why people spend so much time in cars.  It’s more luxurious to not have to be behind the wheel at all.[/b][/quote]

Well, yeah -- it is at least arguable, that "it's more luxurious to not have to be behind the wheel." But what are you on about with this "I can't understand why people spend so much time in cars" stuff?  this is DCUM -- many of us, if not most of us, have horrible, long commutes to and from work on the likes of the beltway or 66. If you had to drive to work, rather than just "school pickup," then perhaps you would understand the allure of luxury vehicles. I don't drive one -- I have a Subaru that is now 7 years old (DH is even worse, he's driving a Chevy Blazer that is like 17 years old now) -- but I'm not begrudging anyone who has to spend two+ hours per day in their car a Lexus or whatever.

So ... let me guess, you aren't in the DC area but are randomly hanging out on this forum? Because I can't imagine anyone here saying they "can't understand why people spend so much time in cars." [/quote]

But why don’t these “oh I’m sorry you’re just too poor to have experienced the joys of a luxury vehicle” posters just buy a house in a better neighborhood instead of spending 2+ hours per day in a car?

Like isn’t your time worth more than that? They could reallocate all that luxury car money and maintenance and gas to live somewhere better.
