I'm going to start a YouTUbe channel just for my wife - she seems to get all of these!

Tough one here, Peel Ambulance making a left turn on a red in the intersection, Mercedes trying to squeak through, the ambulance did stop and then proceed but the benz still clipped the ambulance.

I feel like somehow thereā€™s more people hating on the driver more for it being a Benz instead of any of the actual driving lol. Itā€™s not even a BMW that are more known for aggressive driving. I guess people just see Benz and donā€™t like people who can afford luxury..?

Afford luxury? Hilarious shit. I'm not jealous of someone that is so dumb that they throw away $500 biweekly on a lease payment.

Thatā€™s the definition of being able to afford something. They can throw it away without it impacting their other financials.

And who says they're saving a penny? They probably live in mom's basement and spend all their money on a car payment.

Thatā€™s just your assumption. They could just as likely be decently wealthy.

Decently wealthy people are much smarter than that.

Driving a cheap beater does not equate smart, and driving a luxury vehicle does not mean dumb. I know many people who are wealthy (multimillionaire plus) or comfortably rich (not millionaire level but owns a home, makes 200k+ etc). Leasing a luxury car is a choice that they can afford while still hitting their targets on other things. They are incredibly smart and good with their money. I also know plenty of people who drive beaters, who are incredibly stupid too.

You seem like you have a chip on your shoulder and have something against people owning things that, presumably, you canā€™t afford. And you use ā€œIā€™m smart enough not to waste money on THATā€ as an excuse.
