I'm about 43 years old and I literally just bought my first new car this year - and that was with a few years of saving/planning for a sub $30k car. Prior to that, every car was at least a decade old at purchase time, each one driven until they died.
It blows my mind how someone could just walk into a dealer and drop 70k, 80k, or way more on something "just for fun".
This guy also used to have his car/s tuned and would race them, and because of this, the one he drove to work was too low to get into the employee parking which was across the road from the site.
So he used to park in the visitor parking area right by the entrance.
He had at least 1 other car that could get over that bump, so I assume he chose to use a car that forced him to use a closer parking spot.
I mean, great on him for working a regular job like the rest of us slobs, but he was a bit disconnected from reality.
