It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

This is true for the people who have to have the newest and shiniest car. Buy a reliable car and drive it until the wheels fall off and it's literally the opposite of poverty trap.

The above said I do agree with the sentiment. I've seen very very expensive cars sitting outside of trailers and other hovels that I wouldn't go anywhere near. I'd rather have a crappy car and a nice house.

I have a "nice" car now because I drive for a living and besides it being good for business to be driving something not falling apart, I spend enough time in it that I should have something comfortable.
