Further evidence to support posted comment that no one asked for: my friend is 17, has his private pilot's license already, a decent paying part time job and owns 2 planes, but drives a 2012 Prius V

But at least he understands how much bigger of a flex it is that he can fly planes when people try to roast his car, he brings that up plus “ah but who’s saving money on gas and insurance?” and “stfu you don’t even have a car” (mostly to me whenever I talk shit about that video- game- joystick- looking excuse for a shifter in his car) and various other valid things to shut up the haters, as well as satirically glorifying it as the absolute fastest and sexiest god-chariot ever. Either way, he’s right and everyone who tries to say something is quickly shut up by his already huge accomplishments at such a young age.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > HondoyotaE38: A Japanese and German Collab...wait a minute 09/06/2019 at 20:38

A Prius V is the car 95% of the human race needs. My buddy wanted to update from his 2005 explorer and this is what I told him.

His favorite colors are black and green in that order. Grey is just better than silver. White is out of the question for him.

I mean, dude. His accomplishments are awesome. Also, the Prius V is the best Prius and is the best at what it sets out to accomplish. Plus they’re comfy and not any worse to drive than any “normal” car.  Respect to the Prius owners.

How does a part time job pay for two airplanes?

He worked 2 summers and still works before school (he graduated high school but still comes for the second half of our day, which is the automotive program) wit h minimal off days at $14  an hour and also took all his college savings out since he has a full ride to Embry-Riddle and he didn’t spend jack shit on unnecessary stuff either. That, and his family makes good money too.

Wish I found a 14 dollar an hour part time job when I was in high school. I didn’t make the much until I was 22.

He sounds like he works hard tho. Must have his head on straight

I do not understand the nature of this post... You’re supporting an FP comment because someone close to you is in similar circumstances...

Personally, I agree with the comment, and whatever, you don’t need to flex to a client that has “so much money” they rent a private jet, that’s like the worst thing you can do, renting private jets is the sort of compensating move that only very insecure, mildly rich people do... If he’s really ashamed of his car he could park it elsewhere... It’s a fucking airport, I bet there are more spaces.

However, the two pilots I know drive the following, a first officer drives a brand new Audi A3, and a recently retired captain drove a 2006 mini with some oil consuming mod.

Why the hell is that posted on the front page and treated as a serious problem?

Simple answer.  Keep the Corolla if he likes it and punch any ass hat who has a problem with it in the mouth.

2 planes. What are they? Worked my ass off instructing and all it got me was a working-pood certificate. Like someone else asked, is it past TBO? I also wonder what he does when an annual shows a $5k exhaust replacement...

Im just pointing out a similar situation with my friend, only as far as the “shit car, good lifestyle” part goes really. And that if anyone tries to talk shit about the car they’re essentially shot down by the fact that literally everything else is better, when it comes down to p etty measuring contests like that.

I really doubt he’s flying a jet. I read that the Cirrus Vision costs $676 per hour to operate and that’s one of the least expensive jets out there.

C-150.

It’s 20 better than a C-130.

It’s really hard to follow, but I * think* the jet pilot is not Hondoyotas friend - just someone he’s comparing him to. The jet pilot is the subject of a mcparland article on the FP.

Not sure I get the point, but there is a lot that goes in to accomplishments and lifestyle. For some people, car is part of it. For others, it’s not. Having a slightly nicer car started to matter to me when I started doing l onger commutes - trying to reduce the misery that went with advancing my career. But I also used to make jokes about how being a college dropout was why my BMW was only 300HP.

But all that aside, most of the cases I’ve heard of people seriously getting shit about what they drive for reasons other than reliability have been young women giving men a “that’s what you drive?” a nd then making up an excuse to ditch them. T hat’s not who  you want in your life anyway .

I hadn’t visited the FP today, so I had to go back to get the context. I’m sure you’re right.

Nobody cares about a 17-year-old’s “flex.”

If you used common sense you'd see that it's to other 17 year olds who are superficial and only care about superficial shit.

Correct, I have no idea who the jet pilot is, I'm just comparing the scenario to my private pilot friend who drives a Prius.
