I belive it was Karl Marx who called this fetish commoditism.
So what, who gives a damn ?!
This fetish commoditism stuff creates jobs, and tax money for goverments. And that's THE thing that counts for me. Besides, a(n ///M) BMW and/or Co. are a welcome to my eyes next to all those boring ordinary people cars. |
Welcome to the world of supply and demand. People buy stuff for different reasons but it's what fuels the economy. Enzo Ferrari may have been angry that people bought his cars for the wrong reason but I'm doubting that he didn't take the money. You know why so many old Ferraris had V12 engines? Because Enzo loved the sound of V12, nothing more. There was no performance reasoning behind it which makes Enzo kind of a hypocrite if you ask me. Sorry, I don't believe your stat about how 80% of all BMW, MB, Lambo, Aston, Maserati, RR, Bentley, Range Rover, Porsche and Co buyers never test drive their cars before buying them. Did you know that 92.5198423% of all statistics are made up on the spot?
