The number of people who feel that $60,000 is an appropriate amount for a soccer parent car is too fucking high.

    it makes no sense. Young families don't have $60,000 to throw around, so it's either a van or junior's college fund.

    But, the idea that you need a massive van after having an 8lb baby is pretty stupid.

    They have the money if they take out massive PCP loans that leave them with fuck all.

    I know people, mostly in their 20s, with larger PCP loan payments than my mortgage.

    In a few years they get a new car and the loan probably gets a bit bigger because the salesman talks them into being able to afford another £100/month by now.

    I'm pretty sure they're the opposite of stoned, and even more confident that correcting that would do them a world of good. For one, they'd make better choices in vehicles than this bullshit.

    Oh. You meant that as an example of working class life. Sorry, I'm happily baked. 😄
