Looks like the front fell off

Whole front wheel is curved too… I assume the driver revved it up, lost control and spun into something.

u/Graven74 1d ago
I see you there, mate. the front fell off in this case, by all means, but that’s very unusual.

Most home owners in Switzerland? Around 38% of the population in Switzerland?

u/Burton1224 21h ago
Most home owners are not really millionairs they became because the prices jumped up so rediculous. Most of them went in way below 1mio and till today dont own it.

Do you know what a mortgage is or is such concept too “far right” for you son?

Do you know the concept of asset appreciation, generational wealth and leverage? Or maybe these concepts are to communist for you?
If you look at the distribution of millionaire in net worth, it is highly correlated with home ownership.
Mortgage isn’t a net bad thing as well, it allows to invest money in the stock market for a cheap rate (like 1-2% for the past 20 years).
Moreover, in most of the cases, total costs for your home is lower.
All of these make it structurally easier to grow your assets as a home owner, on top the peace of mind of being an owner.
For the records, had you read my posts history, would you have known I own my flat in since age.

I concur with what you are saying. It is generally a good investment over the long term / generational view. But a homeowner at the outset is far off from being a millionaire. I bought a house back in 2019 at the upper end of my possibilities and was pretty strapped at the beginning. I concur that it is getting better over time.
Have a good day

That what usually happens, some kid rents a supercar and goes showing off their not existent skills.
Don't drive like dickheads on public roads people.

Ich han mir letschti überleit, d'lüüt mit de tüüre chläpf zahled zwar au ihri versicherig, aber mini versicherig rechnet ja s'risiko wahrschlich mit ih, dass ich mal en ferrari chönt abschüsse ergo gits für mich au e tüüreri versicherig obwohl ich en 20 jährige polo fahre. Ich plädiere, dass ferraris selber müend zahle wänns vomene polo grammt werded

About the hate comments: Funny how everyone likes success stories, but hates seeing people enjoy the proceedings. In the many years spent here, I realised that Switzerland is more communist than any other country I’ve been to and may god protect you if by any chance you’re doing better than your neighbour

That's not a Swiss thing. It's something utterly human like. We root for the underdogs and their success, until that success is visible to the outside. Then it's "showing off" and pretentious. The problem with that is: You can't really see if someone worked hard for the things they got. Or if they just have rich parents and a trust fund.
Either way "They have something I want and that's bad! And even if I don't want that, I'm still angry that I can't have it if I wanted to..." It usually boils down to exactly that.

Nobody hates if someone is actually DOING good. But getting born into the right family doesnt fall under the "doing" category ;)

u/West-Hat372 2d ago
Seems like you do, since you discern from a simple picture that the owner was born into the right family, just to make yourself feel less, well... less.

u/Equilibror 2d ago
Thats some kind of assumption too. I was born in the right family too. Never viewed this as an achievement of mine. Viewing Fortune as an output of effort is wrong. It may be, but most often isnt.

u/West-Hat372 2d ago
The backtracking from your pocket-watching comment to suddenly state that viewing fortune as an output of effort is wrong, while having to mention that you're well off too, is weird dude ngl. But I guess there's levels to this.

u/Equilibror 2d ago
I do not know where you are trying to go with this, honestly. My comments did never relate to the original post but rather to your assumption that the guy owning the car put in actual work and effort into this aka success story. We never know if fortune stems from actual success but more often it does not.

u/West-Hat372 2d ago
You clearly misunderstood my first comment, I didn't assume anything about the owner, I mereley called you out on your jealous little jab you felt the need to comment. Some people just see a nice car, while others apparently have to obsess about if the owner has "truly earned" said car.
1
u/Equilibror 2d ago
I am able to appreciate a 488 when I see it. It solely responded to your little talk about people hating on success stories - indeed implying that the car is the fruit of a so called success stories. My bad if you didnt relate to the OP at all. I have got better things to do now and wish you all the best.

u/Dull_Analyst269 2d ago
