"First world problem" does not even begin to describe this

A trip to Europe WITHOUT a six figure car of your own? Not to be totally unsympathetic, that's still disappointing. It sucks in the way it sucks to only get to third base with Kate Upton instead of fourth.

You don't have to be super rich to afford a six figure car.

He should have expected the response he got, but at the same time, anybody else in that situation would feel the same.

Think of it this way. If someone works hard, saves their money, and instead of buying that six figure RV, or house on the lake, or whatever else it is that upper middle class people can totally afford to do if they want to, they go for a special car. You don't have to be a millionaire to own something like that, just be smart with your money and choose to do it. It probably is a once in a lifetime thing though. You don't get a second chance to pick up next years special model and tour Europe. It took you too long to save for it...I'd be crushed.

He probably should have just complained about it to his friends though...

I have a little bit of an idea of what this guy feels. My girlfriend and I are planning to do a roadtrip Starting outside St. Petersburg, then through Russia, Ukraine, and then west through Europe. It was supposed to be us exploring other car cultures wherever we went. We bought a Lada, and it's sitting in Estonia right now. We were supposed to start mid-May. So Putin is totally fucking up our vacation. I'm crushed that we may not get to do the route we planned, but I can't complain about it because that's absolutely nothing compared to what the people over there are facing right now...

I understand. I'm not saying I don't feel for the guy or even that he's rich (which I don't care about), but I just thought the response and tone of the comment was funny. The Europe trip sounds awesome, by the way. Sorry about it being somewhat Putin'd. I can't wait to hear about the Lada adventure.

Yeah, it's definitely the definition of first world problem. I just feel bad for the guy a little...he should have seen it coming though...

There was a guy who ordered an M3 in a custom color for Euro delivery. Had to go through the whole process of getting the color approved etc...showed up and the car was the wrong shade. He got reamed when he posted about it...

Our trip has a Facebook page if you want to follow along. We're still going, we're just waiting a little bit to see what happens. I've learned a lot about Russia and Ukraine researching our trip, and I still really want to go and meet the people there.

Same here. I didn't have intense hatred towards M3 guy, either—but, if I had the ability to buy a new M3 and travel through Europe, I'd be happy with a pink one. It's all about context. That Lada's really nice, I'll follow the page! The best way to learn about a place, by far, is to plan something there.

I'll believe it when he posts a picture of his GT3

I wonder if he his house cleaners are sexy girls dresses as French maids. I learned yesterday that the rich can actually make this happen as these services exist.
