Why do poor people love driving luxury brand cars that are absolute beaters?

I just want to be like P Diddy.

Cause I be pretending to be balling nah what I mean?

I can’t explain it, but I’ve definitely noticed it to be true. I sometimes drive through the hood on my way to/from work. I can’t believe the number of Mercedes, BMWs, etc. driving around the ghetto that look like they were stolen from a junkyard.

They just love the fancy name brands even if the car is an absolute junker.

u still trotting out this tired old trope?

You wouldn't understand even if we tried to educate you. Stay in your lane

As always, I'm just trying to understand my fellow man. Growing up, I was always taught that if one doesn't understand something, they should speak up and ask about it.

Low IQ. But that's what makes them happy. There is no logical reason for a lot of what they do. I just wish they stop committing crimes then cry racism. Thank goodness we have MA-GA President in office.

Longer answer:

It's what we, collectively as a consumerist society, value.

It’s so obvious that many of you aren’t rich either. Probably still young to only be driving either Japanese, American, or Korean.

Yea, many are driving the old German cars for the name. However, beater German cars are still really nice cars and built like a tank. They still drive super solid and have excellent feel. Also, if it’s not too old and still from early 2000s, it still has a lot of safety features and much safer than any American, Japanese, or Korean cars from the same era.

Also, you can buy them for so cheap! They are ridiculously cheap. And unless you pick the crappiest of the crappiest, maintenance is usually not as bad as people make it out to be.

Go actually drive an old German car. Hell, go drive newer German car. You’ll be shocked how much nicer they are.

ok then, I'll ask: Why do you act like such douche-bag on this site? do you feel better about yourself afterwards?

You've wasted your bandwidth, old fart. He will never learn

They do feel more solid and drive better, yes. But I couldn’t disagree more about the maintenance thing. A 15 year old VW or Audi is nothing but a CEL machine.

Yea, you could have crappy issues with some specific models that I’d avoid. Also, VE isn’t luxury. Audi is luxury but back then, they were considered step below compared to Mercedes. But you can really find great deals on old German cars.

Have you actually owned old German car?

At least with these people buying old German cars, at least it’s much safer than buying an old Toyota from the same era.

Your question is pretty much the same as the famous, have you stopped beating your wife? You're only trying to confirm your attitude but phrasing it to yourself and others as a question. Instead of asking piecemeal questions just get to the heart of your attitude and ask others, why am I so great and everyone else sucks?

Other poor people are.

I think "poor people be crazy" is hilarious. A few misses, true, but enough truth in most of his posts to be funny. Some folks project a racist sentiment to his shtick, but I'm surrounded by the rural poor (hell, I'm one of them!), and his observations are as applicable here as in the inner city. Smile, be happy.

The few grand you spent on a fancy hood ornament could have been used to buy a car that isn't a complete beater if you could stoop so low as to drive a Nissan or Toyota like most people who make three times what you make.

But those fancy rims are dope!
