This isn’t me, but I wouldn’t judge someone who has to spend an hour+ sitting in DC traffic everyday for wanting to spend that time in a comfortable ride that they love.

But are the $$$ cars really more comfortable? Maybe they just love showing off for an hour in traffic?

Yes they are so much more comfortable.
Now to others who drive older cars. A new car, even a basic one, is typically so much more comfortable than a 10 year old car.
If you are driving a 15 year old car until the wheels fall off because you are trying to save money, it’s fine. Making sacrifices isn’t a bad thing. But claiming that you see no difference in comfort and ride quality compared to a new car is a total lie.

I buy a new car every 8 years.

Low life

Perhaps further clarification is necessary. I’m only 21 years old. Father gifts me a new car plus $250K cash on each of my even-year birthdays while Mother gifts me one share of BRK-A on each of my odd birthdays. I have a modest $200K allowance and $30K of interest income each year to help pay for my automobile expenses.

Well done! 😆
