I am in Bangkok right now and while there is public transportation at every corner the air quality is still super low. I took this post as the rich are falling out of love with LUXURY cars. I got passed by a Lamborghini today while walking the streets and said to my friend, while everyone else was busy trying to snap pictures, that I would only be impressed if he could do his own oil change.

I expect $tatus $ymbols to continue falling out of favor and be replaced by self sufficiency. Rich are also falling out of love with alcohol and falling in love with fitness. This is good for everyone.

Also I will never give up my ICE vehicle back home, which is a 20 year old diesel that has 270,000 miles on the clock. I am an original hacker/tinkerer and absolutely despise the tech and guardrails included in ALL modern cars but ESPECIALLY the EVs.
