Everything is relative.
Of course if someone had 500k they'd invest some of it in a vehicle. A beat up car going for under 5k at MOST. Thats only 1% of that 500k. OFC no one is going to spend only 1% of what's available to them on their main method of transportation. But what % are they going to spend on their car? 5%, 10%, 100k? It'd be questionable to blow 100k+ of the 500k on a car.
Most people don't have 500k, but alot of them do the same shyt on a smaller scale.
I know a guy who has a car that retails for around 26k and although I don't know his full situation, I'm almost 100% sure he's making less than that per year. There's way too many people out here in similar situations.
This whole discussion started off by catering to the mentality that as a man you "need to be driving a certain type of car"
fukk all that drive what you can afford and like, are people buying a car or a status symbol? Using a car as a status symbol is weak as fukk to me. Not saying everyone needs to be Warren Buffet status making billions driving an fairly common car either.
