In the context of his post, I figured he mentioned it because he was hoping for some input from some more experienced car buyers on whether the particular deal he posted about was a good one. As in:

brock3798: "I'm a less experienced car buyer, and a lot of people here have more experience buying cars than I do. Is this $19K 2014 BRZ a good deal?"

Burrcold: "You're too young to have a second car. I couldn't afford two cars when I was 18. Since I'm jealous, for you to have a second car is obviously irresponsible."

Agreed ! I was just looking for some input on if it was a good deal, maybe some info about brz ownership and i did throw my age out because I'm new to the site and i am a very inexperienced car buyer I've never bought a car from a dealership nor have a ever bought a car at this price

I'm in Columbus too, and actually checked out the same black BRZ (in johnstown)...looks like a clean car for the price.

So...Did you take any offense to Burr's very realistic suggestion? Did you read any derogatory remarks about your age into it?

? @Burrcold was giving solid advice I'm not sure how this got spun into him being an asshole.

As someone with multiple vehicles, I would have suggested the same.

owning VAG cars for utilitarian purposes out of warranty is, by definition, irresponsible; i dont care how big your trust fund is.
