I think the current online alpha male culture is a marketing tool meant to validate the antisocial beliefs of potential customers in order to convert them into paying customers.

It’s very likely that it’s all about justification of where someone is more than it is about getting to where someone truly wants to be. Making a lot of positive changes is hard but claiming that you actually really wanted whatever shitty outcome is “easier”.
In the ‘80s it was about claiming you definitely weren’t buying your friends and, if you were, that was some kind of cool power thing and not horrifically depressing for all parties involved. These days most of the world hates these losers, and for good reason, so they shift the blame away from themselves in a desperate attempt to pretend that they aren’t at fault.
We’re social animals and we want genuine connection. The alpha males are deeply lonely and angry about it all the time but try soooo hard to pretend they aren’t which only makes them sadder and madder.
Replace second speech box with “two, because people who buy our cars are losers”

A smart car has two seats, a bus has 50
The F1 with a single seat.
When you reach the epitome, with noone to accompany you.
spoiler
This breaks down immediately, because you have multiple others around you, on the same track. They are your colleagues, your friends and your rivals.
And I haven’t checked, but I’d say the F1 is more efficient at running than the Lambos
I bet there are a lot of remote drone racing competitions …
Lol, madlads/madlasses
This breaks down thousands of hours before an F1 car starts because it takes thousands of people to design them
I’m pretty sure the Lamborghini car also took quite a bit of people-interaction. Road compliance and all, you know?
I actually do know. I briefly worked in F1, and I also separately registered my own car with a properly hand built chassis to NY state registration standards.
They are orders of magnitude apart. It’s like saying “both this IKEA glass and the space shuttle took quite a bit of engineering”. Trust me, more hours were put into any mundane F1 part than almost any other vehicle out there
I dunno, the bus I drive costs more than double what that car costs.
Did you pay for it?
I mean, I’m a taxpayer so kind of lol
If you need a meme to feel good about your decisions, then maybe make better decisions.
But the car on the second panel is a Ginetta G58 (with a Chevy engine) for LMP3, not road legal … witch … ok, it does have two seats, so it checks out, carry on.
The seats:
Nice catch.
That’s a straight up racecar, though. Like it’s built exclusively for entertainment and fun, not epeen.
I’d respect someone driving a Ginetta G58 around (or, more practically, an Ariel Atom, a homogilation special or something) way more than a chonky, overpriced lambo. That screams “I don’t care what you think, I like to drive” instead of “hey everyone, look how rich I am!”
Like this people driving around these monsters. That’s beyond flaunting wealth, that’s someone’s neurotic hobby, and most bystanders aren’t going to realize how special they are compared to the Porsche trailing them:
is that a Cossie back there?
big want
RS200, with group-B cat ears.
It’s a horrifically fast 4wd RS200 in a cossie’s skin, heh.
Same with the Peugot. You’d think it’s just a 205 until you get in, and see a worryingly loud engine behind the seat.
Haha the RS200 is the only “Cossie” I’m actually familiar with, as we didn’t get the homologated version in the USA :(
I did not recognize the Peugot though lol. Both sound like a load of fun to drive
Love those bbs rims on the Peugeot.
If I had that kind of money I would just get myself a few gokarts and a track. If I wasn’t quite that rich and just normal sports car money l would get a field or some woodland and some quadbikes and dirt bikes.
Engineering decisions: how can make something that pollutes to the legal max both in particles, noise, and, come to think of it, any aspect possible? Oh, I know, a car!
man, those guilt coping posts. maybe just do the right thing, so you don’t need to make up bullshit to feel good
You mean just take the bus?
Yeah just take the bus
Nooooo, I wanted to ride the bus but someone took it!
It’s OK my friend, just catch the next one. You can probably make it to the next bus stop even, that’s what I like to do.
Okay, I caught it. Now what?Keep going until the buss is on a surface which it can develop traction.
I don’t know. It seems pretty angry. I don’t want to give it an advantage.
Pqp vou chegar tarde na aula e a profe não vai acreditar que o ônibus deu problema. De novo.
The public transportation company should gives notes to each affected passenger that explain that the company was responsible for the delay.
A lot of people I’ve seen in Lamborghini cars aren’t serious about their lives. They’re spoiled idiots who lucked out and got a ton of money handed to them and are driving it around to show off how much money they have as if they deserved it.
I have a buddy who wanted a Ferrari and a Lambo since they were a kid. They finally got to the point where they bought the Ferrari only to realize he has a wife and kid. The kid can’t safely ride in the Ferrari for 12+ years and he can’t fit 3 people in the car so he sold it. These aren’t cars for people with normal lives.
I’m an enthusiast with no kids (and a vasectomy to make sure it stays that way) and I’ve driven both around a track. Glad to have done it once, but I’m not in any hurry to do it again. Wouldn’t buy either one over my Miata.
Supercars are vastly overrated.
Yeah, that’s my thought, though I have a kid. Doesn’t really matter if I just want to rent one to have fun driving for a bit (other than if she’d find it cool to ride in one). Would be fun for a bit and then a huge liability to own one. Especially with how much attention they’d get. You’d get random butt prints from assholes taking pictures with it, not to mention some others driving nearby will get more aggressive when they see what you’re driving, making accidents more likely. Not to mention everything about it will be very expensive.
And, at least based on video games, you’d barely ever get out of 1st or 2nd gear in normal driving unless you want to risk getting it seized (or worse) for excessive speeding.
Also, make one mistake with the throttle and a video of you spinning into a curb or something could go viral if it’s one of the rear drive supercars.
Miata Is Always The Answer
“Wife and a kid” = normal life.
hmmmm.
Normal mainly implies average.
The average person has a spouse and a kid. So the statement is not wrong.
Doesn’t mean you can’t have a normal life without a wife or a kid. It just doesn’t mean average then.
As there are substantially fewer polygamists than there are single people, the average person has a fraction of a spouse.
The average man has one testicle, the average woman one breast and they both only have one eye.
There might be some better way of measuring this than a mathematical average, some means of describing the most common grouping in a given cohort, but that’s for smarter men than I.
If we’re being pedantic, the average man has most of two testicles, and the average woman most of two breasts. The average human will have almost one of each :p
Its a normative statement. It contributes to alienating people without wives or kids.
Only if you take it that way and if you choose to do so that is on you.
Im the guy who wrote the post. Im an aromantic bisexual, would call that normal? I also have no kids
Perhaps I came off as too hostile. I read your comment and I thought it was potentially harmful and I’m incredibly depressed, so I wrote a hasty sniping response. I tend to think of things said as their effects in aggregate rather than the virtue of the person saying it.
I’m also bi and arguably aromantic. And intend to remain childfree.
Doesn’t mean you can’t have a normal life without a wife or a kid. It just doesn’t mean average then.
wait. so normal means average, or normal does not mean average?
That’s not the logical conclusion you should be drawing but I can’t comprehend things on your behalf
I mean it was pretty strongly implied but ok
No, it wasn’t. “Normal” in this case means typical. Most of us cannot afford to have a car that cannot fit the whole family
Do you consider having a wife or a kid not normal?
I consider it normative to suggest that such is “normal” and suggests not having a wife or kid(s) as “abnormal”. At least by implication.
Yeah, it’s rather normal to have a wife and progeny, most people do, that’s what normal means. You seem to be fishing for outrage, but you are missing that normal does not imply good, and not normal does not mean bad. Being astoundingly beautiful is not normal, but it’s commonly seen as positive.
If he didn’t realize these things before making the purchase, it would seem like he falls qualifies for the idiot side with a sprinkle of luck.
By chance was he able to afford it because of inheritance? Only a fool takes that kind of money to splurge on a vehicle and he would then fit exactly into the sot op laid out.
Do you think your reply was rational given you have never met him?
Yes. That’s why I made it. I use foresight and logic to deduce the mindset of the person involved in the timeline as you’ve described it.
What you’ve said is a man with a wife and child who gather the resources to buy m a super car. It was only after he had purchased it that he realized it wasn’t a practical family car. This scenario does not contain an adult who is using logic and reasoning skills in a major luxury purchase.
You are free to clarify or correct the timeline you described. Given that you choose to attack me instead, I am going to expand on the scenario by guessing this is someone you admire.
I don’t know but I’ll happily attack you. Please list your insecurities so I can more accurately ridicule you.
You need to talk to a professional if you think what you are talking about is logical.
What you described is an individual with more money than sense and that’s what Clent described. You’re delusional if you think they’re the asshole here.
All you’ve got is insults; I suggest you take your own advice.
That’s not an insult that is a recommendation.

I wonder which one is more expensive, a new Lamborghini or a new bus.
Overall or per capita?
Overall. I wonder, if somebody gives me a Lambo, can I sell it, buy a bus, and drive friends in it?
Nice. Maybe the real magic was the car flipping plan we found in the comments - all along.
This is super wholesome.
Disclaimer: Remember_the_tooth does not advocate for flipping consumable, non-durable, or semi-durable goods for profit. Do so at your own risk.
Depending on the model of the Lambo and the bus, yeah, you’ve got a good shot at it.
A 28 seater bus is, unless a very high end model which the example isn’t, will be cheaper than that particular Lambo was new.
Depends on the size of the bus - anywhere from high 90s to half a million for a school bus.
The bus
I’d have so many friends if I had a Lamborghini bus 🤔
The car they’re working on only has one(functional) seat…
