They all felt like they “needed” a nice car and bought one at a crazy rate. Or some even took out crazy car loans to repair their current car. Like the perception that you need a nice car is crazy.
A lot of people are actually upside down on their car loans. Those he can he tries to convince to sell their cars, but they straight up fight him on it even after he breaks down how financially devastating it is to have a depreciating “asset” that has a 20k loan at 30% interest rate.
Here are some more shorts of people with insane car choices. Basically 9/10 of his episodes have people with bad car loans, these are clips of just the worst ones. If you search his channel for “Car loan” or “car debt” a ton of his full episodes mention car debt in the title because of how many people are utterly ruined by it.
(Also fair warning, he’s super abrasive and direct on people who put themselves into really stupid debt.)

So yeah, fuck car culture that makes this possible and convinces people it’s okay.
A 20k car loan at 19 years old is so fucking stupid.
The car brain in these episodes is insane.
Another episode I didn’t link had a guy who took out a 40k car loan (stupid charger), had like 20k in credit card debt, and insisted he needed weekly car washes (which he put on his CC).
Like my friends… my kind fellow human beings that I want to not be in debt. Cars are giant money pits, please avoid it as best you can, and if you can’t avoid it because of your local infrastructure, get a smaller money pit pleaseeeee.
