>>2008862Both you and the op are being dumb.
The op is a flaming faggot baiter because he ignores you you can own both and not have to make a choice between the two,
Also young people at university or college are perfectly down to date and fuck regardless the social status or "ride" they got, its literally the only stage in life that nothing matters but chemistry and sexual attraction, from the other side of the spectrum there may be some old couple living in their retirement home and need some light and easy to use transportation vehicle so they can pick up bread and the morning newspaper.
Expanding further, the culture around car ownership is not the same everywhere in the world, even in the US the culture is changing, outside the usa there's insane taxes on owning a car and that's on top of the the insurances you gotta get and repairs and all that shit.
A car is a rapidly depreciating investment, most people even buy them using loans with ridiculous interest which is absolutely cringe.
Why spend 40k on a car today that will cost you 3k to run and pay for every year instead of investing that shit on some good 7% APR that pays 3k to you every month instead, it makes no sense.
You could literally buy that girl 10 whole new Balenciaga bags every Christmas with that interest money alone and she would appreciate that more than your car's dashboard being leather or not.
Still the car does allows for things no other transportation vehicle can, but its down to individual discretion to decide whats best and making blanket statements is the biggest timewaster ever invented.
