Lifestyle Creep Ruined Car Guys. Not Every Supra needs 1000HP and not every First Car needs to cost $50K. Cars are becoming an expensive hobby as the years go on, a lot of which was out of our control. However, a lot of it also self-inflicted as the pressure to look cool on Social Media has people skipping over necessary Car Ownership Steps, to just jump right to their Dream Car. I don't care if you can afford your dream car at 16, your brain is NOT developed enough to be driving around with that much horsepower and that's a fact. This isn't out of jealously, but from experience. I was 19 (few days away from being 20 to be fair) when I first bought my Corvette Z06 and I got VERY LUCKY I never got into serious trouble but I was definitely looking for it. I was just an insecure kid, trying to keep up with Older Millennials who never stopped making fun of my finances, despite my health. I should've stopped trying to impress them a long time ago, but in my Defense, my Gen Z Peers were eating Tide Pods back then, so what was I supposed to do? I love y'all now that we're growing up in this STRUGGLE of Early Adulthood. I'm 26 by the way. It's on my Twitter, it's on Celebrity Bios, etc. I used to show my face at Car Meets all the time, it's not a secret. I'm mentioning this since got some recent Criticism for being a Cringe mid life dude whose talking with Gen Z Slang... I AM GEN Z. ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. I INVENTED BRAIN ROT BEFORE IT WAS A THING! Check out my "Freaking Cars History" Playlist or "A Very Serious Guide" playlist and you'll see I did Gen Z Editing before it was called Gen Z Editing. I also was the first Racing VTuber ever in 2016-2018 with my channel Cartaku. I was just some Teenager messing around with Live2D, crazy how BIG VTubing is now. HOW I MAKE MY VIDEOS!
