      The point is imagining that others would look up to you*

      *While in reality, literally not a single person on earth gives even the tiniest fuck about you wasting money on a useless, annoyingly noisy and wasteful fucking car. Exceptions are 5 year olds and people who never exceeded that intellectual level.

        The rich don’t want to impress you, they want to impress other rich people.

          I doubt that that works. Most rich people probably know very well that there’s nothing impressive about buying something.
