TIL: If you go all in on optioning out a GTI, it is a $40,000 car. For a GTI. This is not including any accessories. Just trim + packages.

I actually find them offensive. They're just sleazy, like brodozers but manscaped and drenched in cheap cologne, reeking of insecurity.
Trumpmobiles I truly don't see the appeal.

coming from someone that ends up working in those more affluent subdivisions, most of the people that own that or similar also appear to be allergic to actual work. like shoveling their sidewalks.
cool, you spent $400k on your cars, and 4.5mill on your house. don't mind me tracking 3-day-old snow and ice from your sidewalk onto your $35k imported wood floor.

But if you happen to be a family of 5 that does all their vacationing via road trip and for some reason has to carry half your house with you, the "base" version of the vehicle (a Tahoe) is a great fit. Would I buy the Escalade V even if I was willing to drop what will likely be $125K or more on it, no probably not. That doesn't mean I'm not happy to see GM continue to create the "the last hooray" for the big V8. To me, this is no more obscene than someone stuffing a V8 in the 86. Is great to see someone being able to do it, but it makes no sense.

Yesterday I learned a good friend of mine died of pancreatic cancer. He was diagnosed on December 30th, and died January 15th. When I saw him in September he had lost weight, and looked the best he ever had in the 35 years I've known him. So bummed. RIP John.

That said, yes, I know a dozen people that drive one as a DD and most of the time it's only one or two up. Of those, it's typically either their family vehicle, or the second car (husband or wife drive the more practical DD). In the end though, I can't dispute what you are saying other than to say it's hard for a family to have a car for every scenario so you have to go for the one that best fits all of them.

Pancreatic Cancer is a bitch. I have lost two very close friends to it in the last 30 years, one very quickly, like yours, and one that had the slower growth version they thought they could cure, and he went into remission, but it came back with a vengeance.
