    Yes, plenty of opportunities and women talking to you, but you’d never know which ones are hookers, and I suspect most of them were…
    Only once at a red light I got two girls move out of a taxi for a ride, sharing single seat in a convertible, so no headroom issues, but the 110 degree Vegas heat got them more wet than even they expected. Someone actively looking to pickup ladies could do this quite often, but the car may not help much if you’re a creep :)
    I’ve just had enough friends I had to give rides to.

  4. I do not understand why people spend so much on a racing car for everyday use with speed limit under 70mph. I am looking to buy a full size suv. Any suggestions?

    Ticketed for "exhibition of power." You should frame that and hang it on your wall. :D

    You got everything wrong :)
    - It’s not a race car, it’s a show off and pleasure car for having fun.
    - It’s not for every day use, but a “spare” car in addition to a car for everyday use (in most cases). Obviously it’s expensive for a “spare” but if you can afford one then you’ll also have a regular car, so one will always be a spare.
    - It’s not for people who obey the speed limits.
    - And it’s not “spending so much” when it holds its value. You could buy a used one that’s already lost most of its value, while I’ve seen people spend more on leasing regular cars and overpaying (though there are great leases as well).

    As for an SUV, you can Google SUVs and go to a few dealers to compare, depending on your preferences.

    No offense to Guru, but as a macro/inflation indicator this is pointless. They always sell out of their annual production and they produce less than 8K vehicles per year.

    Who cares?

    Anyone that needs to show off how successful they are to others is someone who doesn't know what real success is

    I don’t remember them being sold out like right now, but in terms of macro it may be surprising to some people that there is so much money floating around right after the pandemic.
    And during last couple months I’ve seen huge crowds in Vegas, bigger than even before pandemic, including on Sunday eves (unemployed?), so I threw some money at MGM and CZR, and made decent profit. Basically connecting the dots may help someone asses the current economy and spending behaviors.

    My friend is (was?) a gardener and has made nearly 2 million on altcoins (DOGE I think) and GME after just reading a few articles and throwing his (fairly modest) life savings into them! Never traded anything before that

    I think he's gonna buy a lambo or 2 with that sort of plate lol
