Are you that sheltered that you don't realize most of the population has this thing called a "car payment" and then insurance and gas on top of it? And maybe the occasional speeding ticket?
And then don't even get me started on accessories. I bought a brand new Audi once and then proceeded to dump $10k into it in mods over the next couple years. It's like a bike but on a much bigger scale.
