I heard wealthy people in New York get driven around in Mercedes, Lincolns, Lexuses, etc., but people in LA drive supercars like Lamborghinis and Ferraris. Is this true, or do wealthy people in LA also get driven around in black luxury cars too?
You’re looking at it backwards. It’s not that West coasters don’t have the Lincoln’s and Mercedes, it’s because New York winters are hell on sports cars, and there is a lot less open road in NYC.
LA is also a car culture city. When you’re poor in LA, you drive a shitty car, when you get rich in LA, you drive a fancy car.
When you’re poor in New York, you get driven around by public transit. When you’re rich in New York, you get driven around by a car service.
I don’t get it. What is your fixation on wealthy people?
He’s writing a story about a rich super hero who may or may not be 23 years old and into illegal street racing and, iirc, had his girlfriend (possibly 40 years of age or maybe 19 or 28 depending on what Lemmy tells him is the correct age gap) killed by a drunk ex-boyfriend in a racing accident and avenging her is the cause for his supero-ing. He’s trying to get the “rich” part correct in his writing. I unironically can’t wait to read it.
How rich do you have to be to legally drunkenly street race?
My guess: His rich cousin kicked him out of the party and now he wants to know what he missed out on
Very few drive supercars. And if they do, it’s to events they will be filmed getting out of them. Super cars are a pain to drive in urban areas, and even worse on the 405 and 10 freeways. They are better suited to the track or twisty backroads. LA-area wealthy will daily drive high end luxury German and British cars, or have a sedan/limo service to chauffeur them around. If you see one in the wild in LA, there 50 percent chance it’s an instagram poser. Things also change as you go up the coast to those ultra rich enclaves where you might see more wealthy airing out their Italian supercar, but not so much in LA
Devin? Whaaaaatareyoudoinghere?
No. My daughter’s sister in law lives in a 20m dollar home, and drives a Tesla and her husband has a very large trx ram.
They’re all boot licking republicans. Do yes

All? Of course not.
When using all or every in a question, the answer is pretty reliably, no.
