That Looked Expensive @lemmy.world

Their owners are now a little Singapoorer.
- The cost of cars in this country, you can be sure those guys don't get poor.
  
  As a Singaporean, those guys might not even be Singaporean citizens. :)
- The cost to drive on the road is probably about the same as the cost to buy one.
  About 10 years ago a Chevy Malibu had a sticker price of $120k USD, which included registration for 10 years.
  
  It’s about $120k USD just for the registration now, depending on the car.
  
  In Hong Kong, the parking spot for a car may cost more than the car itself.

The insurance company: "You crashed a what, into a what?!"
- I got close to an accident once, I was driving a rental and the other cat was also a rental, same model, same company, not the same color though.
  I imagine it would have been an interesting phone call to the rental company!

Tbh you could make one fixed Lamborghini if you'd took the parts from both
- Lamborghini of Theseus.
- that's every used car sold in eastern europe
  
  Fixed lamborghinis?

Does the Community !nevertellmetheodds exist yet?
- Pretty high odds if it’s Singapore
- Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !nevertellmetheodds@lemmy.world

Isn't this how baby lambergines are made?

Of course they did. And in what appears to be a parking lot; precious.
I attended Car Week in Monterey CA in 2009 I think, some huge ass car event for the millionaire set. Lots of great cars there (and many great people; I was in that years LeMons Rally) but you see too much shit like this.
A couple of us Lemons folk watched a rich couple in one of those generic supercar things do a 9000 point turn in a McDonalds parking lot, manual transmission of course, so they're slipping the clutch like crazy because they have absolutely no fkn idea how to drive it.
Those are not good cars. This isn't the 1960s any more. The engineers and drivers that made those famous, for good reason, are all long dead, the businesses now run by their kids to extract cash from fools. They're playthings for the rich whose main feature is that you can't afford them.
- Those are definitely not parking lots. The yellow lines suggests they are at a junction.
  
  Also the street sign showing that it’s a street.
  That said, first glance made my American ass think it was a parking lot too.
- Nah, the cars are still pretty cool from the engineering side. Not disagreeing with the rest though
  
  Oh I realize that. They're not without engineering virtue or history ! (Wasted on most owners of them..)
  But they're also snobby status symbols and toys for the rich. And "fast car" is so 1970s... Expensive toys for the rich are an open target for ridicule for me, lol. YMMV!
  
  bro can’t even:
  spell LeMans
  has no clue how carbon and triple plated clutch works,
  and appreciate the fact that super cars have terrible turning radius....
  probably doesn't know shit about cars making a stupid dumb statement like that. there are so many modern analog cars that have not only more soul, but outperform any older cars by every single metric in terms of reliability, engineering, safety, comfort etc. Case in point : LFA, Pagani Zonda, 911 GT3 RS, Nissan GTR and MANY MANY more.
- bro can't even spell LeMans, and has no clue how carbon and triple plated clutch works, and the fact that super cars have terrible turning circle, but is somehow critiquing about how modern cars suck?
  
  You've really never heard of LeMons? If he races in LeMons then he's probably also a decent mechanic and probably knows a lot more about cars than you do. Just sayin...

WHAT ARE YOU DOING STEP CAR

Hate to see a nice car damaged like that, but its incredibly satisfying to think about how some rich guy lost a shit load of money because of something stupid
- Normally I'd agree, but even filthy rich that's gotta suck!
  
  I don’t really care when a rich person makes expensive mistake. Like at all. They’ll be fine and likely won’t have to change a damn thing about their life after fucking up like this.

Imagine owning a Lamborghini in a city
- Come to Vancouver, I see 10 a day.
  
  I see them in my city too and I always laugh. I live on an island where the top speed limit is 100kph, and in the city you can rarely drive faster than 40

Yellow Lamborghini
Yellow top missing
Yeah, yeah
That shit look like a toupée
I get what you get in ten years, in two days

You sure those aren't just generic brand racing cars?

Just one more reason to remove parking lots.

- Can you content Nazis go back to Reddit? Fuck sake
  
  Umm, this is a repost from four and a half years ago that I've seen countless times. Please stop stealing content and degrading the integrity of the subreddit. I've reported your stolen repost.
  🤓
- That is a year that was exists, yes. Your point?
- Sir… I don’t even know what this comment means or is trying to say. Can you please use your words and bitch someone out the real way
- Does that make it less than mildly interesting?
  
  After seeing countless times yes, yes it does become not interesting
