    I mean, things go wrong with gas cars too, some people fix it themselves and other people go to shops, how is this any different?

      Because the people who bought these cars paid $100k (at least) for them and they drive them around as symbols of technological power and efficiency.

      Meanwhile, the rest of us are traveling around in a $19k Toyota Camry that works just fine.

        Must be nice to be able to afford a $19K Camry. I’m just happy that I could afford my 20-year-old $10K 350Z (and only because I had some life insurance money).

          Yeah, I thought that would be a good generic example.

          I went ten years without driving or owning a car.
