If cars are important to you, then go for it. Some people know that sinking $100,000 into a depreciating asset is a terrible financial decision. With insurance and taxes on it, the cost will be much higher than the lease price. If that’s what you want to spend your money on, go wild. You shouldn’t “laugh at cheapness” when it’s you who’s making a bad investment. Also, your “investment” will be driven around, left in parking lots and always at risk of being totaled. As long as you’re ok with that trade, spend as much as you want.

Stop lying lol

I live in Long Island in a neighborhood where all the houses are above 2.5 million. The only old cars belong to the maids/gardeners...

Yes, LI is known for its understated elegance.

Lol...so true. And LI is known for its population as well....just saying.

People who think a car is anything more than a tool to take you from one place to another safely? I judge you for your shallowness.

It's stems from serious low self-esteem.

I know a few 'car' people and cars and what they drive are their absolute passion. However, the majority in this area are worried about what other people think and selling 'their package'. They tend to be the douchiest, self-entitled drivers as well. Living in the city, I have to park in very questionable, tight parking lots. I could care less about the dings and door hits. A well-maintained, safe car gets me from point A to point B. And, I don't drive much at all during the day. It's just to take the kids to sports.

DC is not known to be a car culture like the West Coast. In the city you see mini coopers, fiats, prius because they can fit in tight spaces.

+1 The wife of Jeff Bezos, i.e. richest man in the world, drives her 4 kids to school in a Honda minivan. Of course they own a private jet, but not everyone gets a thrill out of cars.

We are nowhere close to approaching Bezos' wealth, but we are similar to OP. Two homes in best part of the city paid off and I drive a Honda Pilot (which I love, btw). Paid in cash, not leased.

You realize your neighbors think you're the maid right

It doesn't bother me one bit. In fact, both my maid and our babysitter drive nicer cars than me. I prefer not to be the one that's car is jacked. I like to keep a low profile.

Everyone on your street has noticed and commented

Nah. 1.7-2Million+ neighborhood with lots of Hondas, Toyotas. If you care what people say about your car, it’s a sad shallow life you lead.

Ah, so you live in a regular NWDC neighborhood, not "the best part" of the city

The Tesla X has the worst effing doors in the world. You can’t open those stupid wing doors anywhere without hitting something.

Not a fan of the Maserati SUV. All flash, no substance, not that safe.

I think you're being a little gullible. Bezos is reviled for is treatment of his white and blue-collar workers, so when asked during an interview he's not going to say "oh we have a hired Suburban when Mackenize isn't in the mood to drive the RR". This reminds me of the Ikea founder who people loved to claim drove an old Volvo station wagon until news broke that he had written off his Porsche.

What’s wrong with that? “Old” money and no money is boring.
