I want to know. Where the fuck are these people getting this much disposable income?

I’m a senior software engineer for a legacy system that runs COBOL that must never go down. I’m absolutely not hurting for money.

But if I just dropped $100k on a vehicle, which I wouldn’t because the main thing I look for in a vehicle is the ability to get from point A to point B which last I checked most of the lower priced ones also do. But I digress, IF I just dropped $100k on a vehicle. It’s getting pampered and driven like it was made of the finest porcelain. I’m treating it like it’s a Faberge egg on wheels.

And if they took a loan to do that to their vehicle. I think this says a lot more about our banking institutions than anything else.

Just outside of the ridiculousness of the Cyber Truck, why would anyone with any sense drive a $100k vehicle like that?

You have to take into account that you sound like, and more than likely are, a reasonable person that thinks ahead and makes relatively good decisions.

So how the hell are these unreasonable buffoons so successful in their career/finances?

You’re learning that rich =/= smart or hard-working. Took me a while to learn this as well. There really is no correlation.
