They do when you have my job and drive over 50k a year.

People spend their money in different ways. Doesn’t bother me.
Same case can be made, why do people eat out all the time instead of cooking? Why fly first class? Why buy designer clothes?

So you had 4 fricking cars for 2 drivers?
Or am I missing something?
I still do.
Now they're paid for 4x4s and a bike.
Eta: they're. Not their.

Nitpick? I mean he was right and you just proved it's not 50% in 2-3 years.

Just found my wife a 2017 SUV that a lady bought, put 350 miles on and traded in. That's the only way I will buy a vehicle. Did the same for my last 2 trucks. Under 1 year old with less than 10K miles. Let someone else take the initial hit and swoop in and scoop it up

Wife floated wanting to get the Range Velar. I shut that down with the quickness though. Women will push their limits that for sure.

I don't treat regular cars as an investment

you can nitpick but the fact is you lose a shitton of money on new cars due to depreciation in first few years.
This is true but some people just like buying new. Someone's got to do it so all you leechin muthafrickers out there can buy used!

And what if GOD FORBID you keep the car for 10 years?
Or what if you can afford it the depreciation and don't care?

Driving a car that you love is a freedom that only Americans really understand.

Why do people tie up huge chunks of income in expensive vehicles?
For someone I know, it is purely a good old baw status symbol.
They will say it is for pulling a camper but I believe that is just a status symbol too. It has only been used twice in two years.

Vehicles don't lose half their value in two years. Especially trucks and SUVs
A used truck with like 20k isn't all that much cheaper than a new one with dealer incentives etc. The cheap used ones are a myth unless you find a deal on a private sale. I've been in the market lately.

One of the keys to long term wealth accumulation starting in your 20s and 30s is to divert that car money into retirement money . That requires that you subjugate your ego and need for cultural affirmation. So that rules out about 90% of Americans.

It's social media
This is such a stupid response. People have been buying nice cars for much longer than social media has been a thing.

My grandpa used to tell me about all the Dusenbergs he saw all over Facebook in the 30s, right in the middle of the depression. Can you believe that!
