The number of upmods is utterly mysterious to me. Man washes car. Yep. That's what he did.
That car costs about 200,000 dollars. It's ugly, like a drugged-up Toyota prius. It costs more than a used twin-engine Cessna. It costs more than a Peterbilt. It costs about as much as a flying fortress [1]. It costs more than 99.99 percent of useful products. It's made of plastic and will not survive its first pothole. It just screams "douchebag".
"Look at me world!!! I'm a douchebag and I spent 200K to inform you of this fact!"
Is it all right if I upload some pictures of a successful appendectomy...cause, you know, "detailing" is not really the apex of "task execution". I think what we're really seeing here is the most thorough diminishing returns ever executed. Ten minutes with a cloth and dish detergent would have done the job.
[1] Well, in pre-inflated dollars. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-17_Flying_Fortress http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-17_Flying_Fortress
- BrandonM 18y agoWhile I may agree with you on the impression I get from such a car, what your post told me was, "Look at me world!!! I'm a douchebag and I didn't have 200K to spend so I wrote this post to inform you of this fact!" Sorry, I don't mean to imply that you are a douchebag, but perhaps the car's owner isn't, either. He obviously drove the car and got some use out of it (as the poster indicated), so perhaps he just enjoyed it. Life is short, what's wrong with doing what makes you happy? As for the submission, I (longtime HN member) upmodded it. The post was very thorough, and it was worthwhile to get such deep insight into the workings of a field that I previously had no knowledge of.
