Broke: I need a car to prove I'm not poor.
Woke: Cars are the very things keeping us poor.
Woke as fuck : getting chauffeured in my $1.7 million electric vehicle
Woke to the future: cruising in style in my multi million-dollar driverless pod
Is it really something that inpresses other people? I feel cars only impress their owners and they hope other people are as impressed.
Cars are seen as a status symbols in a lot of places, instead of as the utilitarian things they are. Where I'm from people will see you in a better or worse light depending on what you drive, for sure. Most young people get first in debt not for college, but for the 200.000km second or third hand car imported from Germany.
Unfortunately, it appears to.
gesticulate wildly in every direction
There are so many things humanity needs to get it's shit together on
