Comment on $1,000 car loan payments are on the rise, stressing household budgets

My fellow Americans, being pedal to the floor in a lightweight five speed shitbox is infinitely more fun than restraining yourself constantly in a giant top heavy rollover machine. You feel like you’re doing 120mph but you’re going 120kph, it’s glorious. Taking the train is fucking great! I get to play video games and not stress about traffic, if I go to a happy hour and drink too much I’ve already got a DD!

Americans are all brainwashed to think they NEED a 8 seater 35 ft long suburban, that they drive alone 99% of the time.
My miata works 95% of the time for me. And I have a longbox pickup (no ac, all manual, no radio, single cab) for actual work (8ft boards and drywall etc)
The issue is peoples’ f 150 boy howdy y’all quaeda edition is their status symbol for dick dize.
