    Not only am I one of those people, I’m also one who judges people for buying certain cars. Like “Ha, look at that loser who bought that early model Chrysler 300, enjoy your motor blowing up” or “is that a SUPRA that’s actually just a BMW Z4?” Then usually whoever is in the car with me asks what the fuck I’m talking about and I just say “nevermind” and move on to judging the next car in silence.

    Except for Tesla’s, I will point at them and yell “ewwww” when I see them, but not because they’re EVs, because of Elon.

      Bro, you sound like a delight to be around. Judging people for what they drive is pretty shitty. Unfortunately, lots of people don’t have much of a choice. Like, sure, buying that early any Chrysler 300 seems like a real bad idea. But maybe the person who bought it got it for the $15 that it’s worth, and maybe it was all they had to their name. And maybe they needed just any car that can get them to their job or transport their kids. Get off your high horse there.

        Yes I am aware some people don’t have a choice but to buy cheap cars, I have been there as well. After high school I paid $800 for a 96 Suburban that was horrible on gas but it was my only viable option. I mainly judge people who spend obscene money on an overpriced vehicle or a big stupid truck that you can tell they only drive on pavement.

      The BMW Supra is so strange to me, causes mixed feelings bigly. It’s cool that the Supra is back, but it doesn’t really seem like a Supra without the straight-6 cylinder and its massive torque. Anyway, I would never spend that much on a car so it’s not my problem.
