If I had that kind of money I would just get myself a few gokarts and a track. If I wasn't quite that rich and just normal sports car money l would get a field or some woodland and some quadbikes and dirt bikes.
Oh look it's the wankermobile out for an afternoon drive.
Where’s the line drawn here?
Like I never like to label all X as Y for a start, but if you own a Porsche are you a wanker? I own a Mercedes ~~I am~~ am I a wanker?
Is it sports car with little utility? I have many things that make me happy with little utility.
Edit: Removed the Freudian slip 😦
If the first thing you say about it to everyone is how much it cost, you are a wanker.
Who is even saying that? I don’t believe I ever mentioned cost.
Generally speaking, buying any car that is the median price of a house makes you a wanker driving a wankermobile.
Really don’t get this mindset. A doctor can earn enough money to buy a Ferrari and it’s their money to do with as they please.
My issue is with people with obscene wealth, not rich people who work hard and provide actual value to the world.
Honestly I find your viewpoint to be quite naive at best and bitterness at worst.
I like how you just imagine that it's a hardworking doctor or your other favorite type of hardworking guy and then you call me naive. 😆
Literally met a doctor who owned a Ferrari, it wasn’t a made up thing. To be clear he is a consultant cardiologist.
In fact when I worked for Apple I met many regular rich people who just have decent lives from value jobs and worked hard.
If you think single or double digit millionaires are the problem then you’re misguided. The problem is generational wealth or those with hundreds of millions or billions extracting value from the world.
FYI: A consultant (medical) can earn £100k - £140k per year in the UK. Source Easily enough to finance a Ferrari with low interest or save and buy one, or the shock even lease one.
A lot of single or low double digit millionaires are slumlords on the side. It's much easier to accumulate wealth through capital formation than through hard work. But I'm naive for not believing your anecdata, I know.
Many of the people flying in to try to overturn the election on January 6th were the single digit millionaire crowd you're swearing are all great people on the basis of having met a couple.
I make enough money according to you to drive a Ferrari and lots of others do too. Yet they remain very rare cars. It takes a certain type of wanker to actually buy and drive the stupid fucking thing.
And while we're at it, it takes a certain type to defend the hypothetical owners of a stupid meme car.
