If someone buys a new car, then complains about the operating costs, that’s their own fucking problem. That’s like me going out and buying a new GTR, then complaining that I’m broke and can’t afford my bills. Makes no sense. It’s called financial responsibility. People don’t live within their means.

There’s a happy medium though. I just like having a decent car if I’m driving it 90% of the time.
