I said something about people being irrational consumers, and now it's become an attack. I am not sure where do you see an attack? People have different lifestyles than you, it's a fact. Yes, people do sports outside. No, Prius is no good for that at all. And it's just one instance when Prius is not good. Owning a house with a Prius is also problematic. And even renting one somewhere remote is dangerous (if roads get blocked by snow/rain you are not going to get food). You believe you are in majority and in fact, almost everyone, sits at home on weekends or goes to bars or whatever you do, and trucks and other off-road big cars are being bought by people who are exactly like you but dumber. I know for a fact that a lot of people are into outdoors, home improvement, trades etc. |
I disagree. I don't think this is true.

Used prius is more expensive because the prius is a more reliable vehicle that holds their value better. Meaning, that's even more reason to buy a prius.

I want to make it clear that I've never mentioned a prius. You're creating a granola-loving Californian caricature of me because you're running out of steam.
You don't have to buy a Prius. You just don't need the Child Crusher 4000 with Ulta-Gas-Guzzling suspense and glaucoma inducing laser beam headlights.

Yeah sorry this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Maybe it's because I live in Texas, where 3/4 cars are trucks, but this is 100% never the reason somebody buys a truck. Again, after-purchase justification is all this is to make yourself feel better.
> I know for a fact that a lot of people are into outdoors, home improvement, trades etc.
Okay. Sure. I don't disagree with this.
But you're telling me the MAJORITY of people do this? The majority? Really? That's what you're telling me?
I know you don't believe that. You're bullshitting me, and it's not gonna work. If you're gonna make an argument at least make it realistic enough so that you yourself can believe it. Obviously if you don't believe it, I certainty won't.
