Live sports and entertainment, great seats at Super Bowl, NBA finals, World Cup, the best comedians and musical legends (take your pick whatever is your favorite, for me it was seeing Prince on Purple Rain Tour and Madonna Like a Virgin Tour) definitely 100% with it.

The question was not what do you want that you can't afford.

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.

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.


Sounds like you and your kids have no hobbies, friends or social life. Nothing luxe about that, sounds quite sad tbh.


DP here. If your "friends" are hanging out with you because or depending on what car you drive, you are getting life all wrong. Guessing you are not happy, and it is all such a puzzle to you. Chuckle.

Yes! I use mine every day, literally every day, and I’ve had it for at least ten years. It is undefeated against every frozen fruit or vegetable I have thrown it’s way.

Yes, this is all so subjective. What’s worth it to one person may not be to another.

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."


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.

Big engines, nice interiors, etc. are so worth it when you spend a good chunk of your time in your car.

I always look down on the poor people; the people who can only afford a toyota or a honda. Really sad for them.



❓❓⁉️

Do not carry pity over someone who can only afford to drive a Honda or Toyota for those car brands are very SOLID.

Japanese vehicles are more superior to their German counterparts in my personal opinion. 👍🏽


I feel sorry for people who spend a good chunk of their time in a car. So low class.


+1 I feel sorry for those that have to so much time an a car that they have to justify paying a premium price to offset that feeling of being boxed in and static.


Hmm, I feel sorry for people who never have anywhere to go. I don’t commute but I do drive to places and I’d rather spend that time in a nice car. But you do you.


Are you aware that there are other ways to get places than driving? Even when I drive instead of walk, everything is within a few minutes so there’s no point in buying some fussy car that may get scratches while street parked. I mean I don’t even have a garage and my family only has 1 car, but we still manage to go many places.

I’m sorry for people who have built their lives around needing a nice car because they spend so much time in it.
