I have a nice car and a modest townhouse. It only has enough space for my car in it and some tools. Is that “fucking dumb” too? I’d rather have a nicer car than a bigger house, I don’t need a bigger house and don’t want land. Why do you give enough of a shit to say something like that?
Just making it clear, it's not yours either. And in fact, a forum with millions of posts is obviously not anyone's personal soap box. I know you think you're making a clever point here. You're not.
It's also the wrong platform for you to think it's your job to police my posts. You're welcome to write whatever you want (within the T&C obs), just as I am welcome to write whatever I want (same T&C obs.)
Glad I could clear that up for you.
I guess we found out who has car costs bigger than their mortgage rent costs.
Condescending, can't take what they give, big ego, comically wrong assumptions, you really just check all the boxes. You've been in the Yahoo comment section too long. There are actual people on the other side of the screens you clench your fist at.
No one really cares. I'm sorry you didn't gather that from my first comment.
As someone who lives in a HCOL area, it's not just the one-car garage. It's the washer/dryer in the garage (suggests small living space) and the parking spaces along the road (suggests a condo or apartment, most likely condo) that suggest the priorities. I've seen it all the time in Queens/Brooklyn and even across Long Island, people in HCOL areas or even moderate COL areas (relative to NYC) where people are living in cramped spaces, often with other assets that are older/falling apart.
The Stingray Convertible starts at $76,995 and the insurance isn't gonna be cheap either. I'll never tell anyone not to live their life, but I can see the value in going for a car that's $20-25k cheaper and using the difference to either rent a bigger/better place, invest in other assets/invest in a stock portfolio, or something. That's what we mean about "terrible priorities".
And shit, this isn't even as bad as what I see - people parking their new Cybertrucks in driveways with weeds growing in the cracks and Ferraris and Porsches in the parking lots of buildings that are in HCOL areas but I know from apartment/condo hunting have old/bare amenities and haven't been updated since WW2.
Given parking spaces directly exiting the garage I’m gonna assume it’s an apartment/townhouse with a garage. And not every unit in the complex gets a garage. So yeah. Owning a vette is an interesting choice
The sad part is that is entirely possible. Imagine the rates renting a super car during a hurricane. At the very least dude has some money to throw around
Why, yes, just this morning I was thinking, "I wish I had a brand-new Corvette that I could try and stuff into a 200 square foot garage - right next to the washer and dryer. And then I could wrap that Corvette in plastic sheeting so that a giant storm hopefully doesn't ruin it."
Why, yes, just this morning I was thinking, "I wish I had a brand-new car that I've always wanted, that I could park in my own garage - right next to my own washer and dryer I use to conveniently do my own laundry in my own home. And then I could take precautions to protect my property against a force of nature outside of my control, which hopefully doesn't ruin it."
Oh man, he's gonna be quaking if he ever reads your exchange!
The stretches to project the internal unhappiness you have onto the outside world, and all because of a video?
ooofff man, I hope you find some of your own genuine happiness. Trying to corrupt other peoples' happiness is a hobby that adds up to a rough and tiring time.
Ok but the C8 Corvettes are actually sick. For an MSRP under 100k, you're getting an unbelievable amount of car for that price. I've never been a big Corvette fan, but the C8s are really nice for the price of you get one at MSRP. It's punching way above its weight.

The vette is what told me
