That’s not misinformation, think about it.
95% of people only wear clothes just to cover themselves up, but they will still chose a different variety that will suit their tastes over the guy next to them, even if it comes at a bigger price.
There are clothes that cost thousands of dollars out there for a jacket/coat/handbag etc, and yes you financially can afford it, but you never will even think about buying it because you’re part of the 95% out there that will see “no point” in that.
Same applies to cars, and modifying them and paying $300,000 for a Lambo. We can “justify” it, while average person will look at their car and tell you that their civic will get them to the same spot you will with a fraction of the cost.
