RE: The Coming $100k Bitcoin Parties and Buying That Lambo
I stopped wanting a Lambo about halfway through college, long before I could even think about affording one. I saw kids my age driving around in their lowered American and Japanese "sports cars," scraping on the ground everywhere they went, constantly chasing maintenance on their high octane turbocharged rides. A Lambo is just an even more expensive version of this liability. Hot rodding is supposed to be fun, and buffing some paperweight with a diaper and using it only to show off your wealth, that don't sound like fun to me.

Well, long ago cars were the ultimate in freedom.
And then they became the ultimate in status. (mostly because girls could read a guy's wealth from his car)
Now, all cars look the same.
Most people can't tell the difference between a Lambo and a Ferrari.
Further, they can all be leased... so they're not as good at getting the chicks.
Today, they are a money sink.
Most people hate their commute so much they would rather live without a car.
Gas, tax, licensing, insurance, thin-blue-line fees... they all make it less and less about freedom and more about a boat anchor.
And then, there is the impracticality of having a sports car.
as you have pointed out.
