Tbf I have more respect for enthusiast car ownership than many other types of cars.

I walk most places, take the train and limit the use of my own car. (mazda6 estate) Hard to do now that I have a three year old.

I would love an El Camino with an 400hp xl engine. A completely useless car that will be mostly tinkering and some summer driving. A Shelby is a nice car, and if cars are a hobby I say go for it.

I have more issues with oversized cars clogging up my town on what could have been done with a bike or by foot

I do not understand the concept of parents paying for college anyway. Mine didn’t have the means to do that and I didn’t want them to stress over having to do it, so I did it myself.

I also took care of my own college costs, but I can see how cost growth has far exceeded the general inflation rate and federal aid has been shrinking, to put that out of reach.

Also I benefited from a significant scholarship from my Dad’s employer, and that kind of thing just doesn’t exist anymore. There aren’t any for my kids to reach for

The real problem is that college is over priced. Again you people keep focusing on the wrong problem.
