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.

Miata Is Always The Answer

Notice the implied and unquestioned assumption that “life goals” means accumulating resources and not building relationships or contributing to society. In fact, it’s expected that personal relationships and societal responsibilities shall be neglected in the quest for resources.

Your life can be so much better if you get over the notion of having to own things. Almost every luxury out there can be enjoyed without having to own it, as long as you're able to discard the consumerist propaganda that you've not enjoyed it properly unless you can take it home.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

Aka take joyrides in other people's Lambos, then ditch the car, but NOT AT YOUR HOME.

If this wasn't 2025 I would have thought this image was satire it's so overtly toxic and stupid.

Yet here we are.

I'd have so many friends if I had a Lamborghini bus 🤔

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Why is no one asking about the bus with no wheels?!

[–] ReasonablePea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Ha I had to double take but it looks like they're just recessed in the wheel well

If I had that kind of money, I'd buy ruined, exploited land just to restore it; regrow a clearcut forest for instance. Then just give it back to the native tribe who lived there centuries ago. I have always wished I could do that.

[–] musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 21 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Nice, this is exactly why a forest has no car seats. Go achieve your life goals

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

Wait, does that mean his actions will make him zero friends? Not even the tribe!? That kinda sucks.

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

In prince george they did this like 3 years ago. Gave a huge chunk of forest back to natives. They clearcut it that summer. You can easily see the scar on satellite view. Under capitalism, all humans will exploit nature if they have the technology to do so and race means nothing.

As someone with a similar goal that I actually think I will achieve, that land will hopefully never leave my family and be protected forever. We already own two huge chunks of land on the eastern slopes of the rockies which used to be cleared for cattle and is currently regrowing.

You could always donate money to organisations that do these things. Or use alternative search engines that use profit to support nature. I use Ecosia that plant trees and do other things to have a positive climate impact.

But being able to be Bruce Wayne and save a village in South America would also be a sweet deal.

People who are serious about life value long term benefit over short term material goods. Public transportation is a public good for all and in the long term will save you a ton of money.

[–] Blum0108@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago (2 children)

But how else can you show off how much money you have and how insecure you are?

man, those guilt coping posts. maybe just do the right thing, so you don't need to make up bullshit to feel good

[–] Szewek@lemm.ee 32 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You mean just take the bus?

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 27 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Nooooo, I wanted to ride the bus but someone took it!

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago (7 children)

Okay, I caught it. Now what?

You will lose my friendship when you waste a bunch of money on a lambo.

Get a Toyota and use the savings to take all your friends on vacation

I fucking hate people that act like they escaped the matrix because they drive a personally owned vehicle.

Like wow you're really showing us public transit welfare queens what true independence looks like, gripping a steering wheel in a vehicle they can only legally operate with a government-issued license, on a road built and maintained by the government, cleared of snow by government workers driving government-owned trucks, fueled by government-subsidized oil, and parked in government-funded lots. Let’s not forget they had to go to a government building, talk to a government employee, and pay a government fee just for the privilege of registering their car — which they’re also legally required by the government to insure. And after all that bureaucratic red tape and recurring fees, they have the audacity to act like they're the icons of self-sufficiency. The cherry on top? If their precious symbol of ‘independence’ breaks down, the government isn’t going to help — they get to shoulder the repair costs entirely on their own.

Meanwhile, I swipe a card once a month and get access to a system that moves people efficiently, doesn’t ask for my blood type, and doesn’t require me to pour thousands into maintenance and paperwork — and I’m the one supposedly suckling at the teat of Big Government?

Ok.

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago (2 children)

As someone who owns a vehicle, I feel more like I've escaped the matrix when on public transportation than when I'm driving. I still have to have a car to get places public transit won't go, but I always look forward to the completion of each new station, one more area I don't have to drive to.

If you need a meme to feel good about your decisions, then maybe make better decisions.

[–] Szewek@lemm.ee 25 points 6 days ago (8 children)

I wonder which one is more expensive, a new Lamborghini or a new bus.

[–] noride@lemm.ee 22 points 6 days ago

Depends on the size of the bus - anywhere from high 90s to half a million for a school bus.

I dunno, the bus I drive costs more than double what that car costs.

It's a great meme, but I do cringe a little bit at the idea of engineers designing the car while already having built most of it.

[–] Phoenix3875@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

That's agile for you.

I'm pretty sure nobody driving that midlife crisis on wheels has ever gotten "serious" about their lifes

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 7 points 6 days ago

It's also a weight decision. If you bring five American friends along, you just doubled the weight of the car.
