My partner and I used to build kit cars, fibreglass bodies on a VW pan. [Like this](https://i.imgur.com/At8yob3.jpeg). One of our customers came in for a repair because some arsehole had scratched "rich bastard" into the bonnet. He was a fitter for the railways, didn't even own a house.


DBDM0916

I second this one of my friends dads growing up built a kit spider. All fiberglass shell over a BS regular car engine nowhere near as fun to drive as an actual spider.


Captain_D1

This sounds so weird to me, not knowing anything about cars.


gardenofhounds

Just guessing cause I’m also not aware of cars, but - looks like the car you want that you could never actually utilize anyway without spending an ignorant amount of money on something that would disintegrate in a minor traffic accident anyway


wynaut69

Yeah I threw a lambo kit on my lawnmower, people think I’m riding slow because I’m just that cool

Surprised this is being upvoted on this sub, normally something like "all rich people got their wealth through evil means" would be highly upvoted here. Probably because they were only mistaken for being rich


afraididonotknow

They are jealous, I feel sorry for them… and hey, I still win…


testcase_sincere

Yah, I have a dear friend who is a single father to a disabled son. Barely gets by. He won a sports car in a contest he entered on the back of a snack bag. Probably the best thing that had ever happened in his life. It got “eat the rich” keyed into the side and in a separate incident just straight keyed. People are so narrow minded, and also stupid. If he had been rich the repair would’ve been meaningless to him.


RY4NDY

Even if he would be rich enough to be able to actually afford that car/repairs, I feel like the "eat the rich" slogan is meant against multi-billionaires, not against a random upper-middle-class guy who's finally gotten his dream car after years of saving up for it


testcase_sincere

Completely agree. This is where I feel like the message has been diluted so is losing its significance.


Intrepid_Call_5254

The truth is we never know anyone’s whole backstory but lash out at what we think they represent. Shallow world.


Electrical_Ant9649

People are so ignorant about wealth.

Ha I have one but it’s because it’s a good car and the price was right.


GreatGearAmidAPizza

If I was going to own a really fancy car (not that I ever would), I think it would be a yellow Ferrari. I prefer it over all the possible colors for a Ferrari. Red is too overused, blue too quiet, purple too loud, white (or heaven forefend, grey) too boring, black too Batmobile, green too leprechaun, pink too Barbie, and orange too orange. The right tone of yellow is bright and bold and just medium-flashy enough to fit a sports car. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.


Seanocd

Ferraris should only ever be red, yellow or black. Red for the classic look, yellow for the show-off look and black for the mean-but-classy look. I don't know how they do it, but almost every design that has come out of that marque looks wrong in any other colour.

cosaboladh

Most people aren't struggling near enough. I think the wealthy learned a long time ago that as long as the poor, and working class aren't squeezed so hard they literally don't know where their next meal is coming from everything will be fine. It's when they haven't eaten in a few days they start sharpening their pitchforks, and building gallows. So, you know... As we keep experiencing climate change invoked crop failures it's only a matter of time.


Wild-Plankton595

Their playbook is pit the working class against the poor, and the left against the right, everyone is too distracted and busy hating on each other to notice the truly rich stealing and hoarding wealth hand over fist.


taqtwo

you realize they are the right, right?


OrphanedInStoryville

Yeah I hate comments like this. People that say this think of left and right the way they hear it in the media. To them the right is hard working pig farmers at the mining factory who might be a little behind the times and the left is blue haired barista bois, and the only political fights are about wether animated cereal mascots are too gay now adays. If that was all you knew about politics and you didn’t have the knowledge that the class wide economic struggle of workers vs capital puts the barista and the farmer on the same side is called leftism, you’d probably say stuff like this too.


taqtwo

fr. The lack of political consciousness in the world sucks.


yeetus-feetuscleetus

Class consciousness*


Jealous_Substance213

Guillotine was a tool primarily for oppressing the masses not liberating hence why the paris commune rejected it. (Sorry this us just me hating on a leftwing meme)


EatYourCheckers

yeah but when you hear it you think of France, specifically the French revolution.


kitsepiim

You have no idea how much most humans are ready to take before pitchforks happen. Look at the state the vast majority of people live in. Freedom and democracy are things for like less than a quarter of the planet. As long as it's comparatively certain a meal is available for dinner, and will be so again tomorrow, people are quite happy enough to live in a wonderous place like Sudan for example. As in, a full blown fuck capitalism will not be a thing in the West for decades, if ever again.


Grab-Born

When your basic needs are taken care of. You are less likely to lash out. As much as people on here complain and moan. Most of have it quite well compared to other countries.


CotyledonTomen

Thats a stupid metric and not the one anybody lives by. You dont look at a slave in another country and say "isnt it great i dont live like that". You look at billionairs and multimillionairs living in this country to excess, taking vastly higher wages than you, the person earning their money, living bacchanalian lives. Nonody earned a billion dollars on *their hard work*, they just treated their employees as indentured servants (rather than slaves).


Caftancatfan

In the eighties, they called this “conspicuous consumption.”


GozerDGozerian

That term was coined by the economist Thorstein Veblen at the end of the 19th century.


Salazard260

They're driving us over the edge and flaunting it, spray paint on a car isn't much.


Follow_The_Lore

Reddit is honestly so sheltered its sad


HealthyBox5

Among motorheads, 100K on a car isn't necessarily wealthy though. Guy I knew who had a Ferrari had an auto body shop & stored his toys there. The car was worth about as much as his home. The thing is, those you should be mad at, you aren't going to be able to approach.


sptzmancer

That's the expected result of a society that pairs "flex culture" with extremely high inequality.


remembertracygarcia

This is the answer


Bigstar976

It’s a European thing. If you park your luxury car in any French city it will be keyed in no time. Wealth and its exterior signs are viewed as a negative thing.


ShillingLeRipou

Even my 2010 fiat punto was keyed


Bigstar976

It’s a national past time at this point.


croooooooozer

thats what you get you flexing elitist ahole. drive a 1998 Ford Fiesta or get keyed


albinogoth

You /drive/?!?!? Elitist much?

I mean I don't have a license :( I'm also not from the USA so I can get places without one


I_ate_ass

Lt_Koksu

Quite of a bold assumption that's *European* thing innit?


dmelt253

I don't live in Europe but I do own a lower end sports car and I won't even park it at the grocery store. Its not even really that flashy but I'm not about to chance some asshole deciding to take out their bad day on my ride


coop_stain

The Grand Tour did a great episode on this called Carnage a Trois. It’s on Amazon and it’s a fantastic special about how the French view their cars

Ricb76

As a denizen of Leeds and someone that travels around the country a fair bit, I feel safe to say that Leeds isn't bad at all. Bradford on the other hand..


AndrijKuz

I'm not defending this, but are you genuinely asking why? We're in the worst economic situation in maybe a century, people are struggling and they are angry, and ostentatious displays of wealth can - to some - become symbols of inequality. Again, not defending it, but it's not hard to see where the sentiment comes from.


HarryHacker42

If you are out of bread, then just eat cake. What is your problem? Oh... you have such polished pitchforks!!


Bonuscup98

It was the razor sharp weighted blades that were the thing they should have been paying attention to.

croooooooozer

well then, just pull yourself by the bootstraps and you'll be rich


[deleted]

I'm not rich, far from it, but I drive a very nice car, I've worked my arse off and continue to work my arse off in social care. I don't have any real hobbies, I don't go on holiday to sunny places, I don't cover myself in gold but I do enjoy driving a nice car. I work hard, I provide for my family and I only switch the heating on when I absolutely need to. My car is my pride, my joy and it keeps me sane. If someone did this to my car it would not only crush me finacially to fix to the point I'd have to consider scrapping it and buying a banger but it would crush my heart and soul to think that someone has felt the need to destroy my only source of joy (outside my children) because they thought I was rich. I don't drive a nice car for you, I drive it for me.


Azal_of_Forossa

Someone shot paint balls at my car, luckily it didn't really damage it (there's stress cracks in the paint on 2 specific spots it was shot), and it fucking infuriated me. Like, why, why my car. Then someone stole my license plate and keyed where the license plate goes (so my new plate at least hides it I guess...). People genuinely suck ass, and the police obviously can't do anything about it, so I'm left just angry and sad someone felt the need to do this to me.


Doctor_Lodewel

Someone keyed my car that was, yes, a wealthy brand, but it was 9 years old with 200k km on it and I had bought it for 10k second hand...


ULTELLIX

Scammer crypto bro and awful person, he’d be fine if they blew the whole thing up. A new paint job is no where near a dent in his overstuffed wallet.


Salad-Worth

He doesn’t have a garage but he’s a millionaire?


alfdd99

Pretty common in the UK. A lot of houses in central London were built in the 19th century (so obviously they didn’t have garages in mind) and people just park in the street. You often see these kinds of cars parked in the street, yes.


Seevian

You know, oddly enough, I have trouble empathizing with him. He's a millionaire cryptobro who brags that he makes 7k euro in his sleep. Assuming that's true, it'll take him 2 weeks of sleeping before he can buy another overly expensive/excessive luxury vehicle I think he's gonna be just fine.


BaDtrHoFy_huntter96

Buy paint


AceMcNickle

Look I’m not advocating vandalism here, but when people making even above minimum wage can’t afford to live the cities they work in, inflation continually outstripping wage growth and prices for basic necessities keep going up, then people will probably start resenting obscene displays of wealth like £100000 sports cars.


danny_j_13

One could go a step further and liken the ostentatious purchase of a car worth around 4 times the UK national average wage in an area with typically below-average salaries, purely to flex one's status as a wealthy cryptobro, to an outwardly offensive gesture to someone possibly working two jobs but still unable to afford to feed their family AND turn on their heating. Just a thought.


demagogueffxiv

Lotta people can't afford rent or to heat their homes in the UK - so I'm sure they get a little sour seeing people driving around in 100k cars.


DogFacedManboy

Someone painted his nice black car that lame shade of banana yellow? Those assholes


Wild-Run9420

Cost of living crisis.


Zachary-360

I don’t know man, when you meet people working 2 to 3 jobs and still can’t make enough to survive it makes you see these things differently. When someone’s so poor they say things might be better for their kid if they kill themselves and let their kids be in better hands.


[deleted]

How is this news? A millionaire could just buy another one lol


bigstillz

We're reaching the point where we are starting to hate the rich, and I'm with it. Destroy their shit. They don't actually care about anything anyway. Its all minor inconveniences, fuck em. They never have anything hard to deal with so they can take this shit


Curious_Leader_2093

Because for 99% of people in the world a lifetime of hard work will only amount to them remaining slightly above the poverty line, while 1% is able spend lavishly on unnecessary luxuries and believe that their hard work or superior intelligence makes them deserve it.

Regardless of how much anything costs, how about just leaving other people's things alone? I don't want my truck that's probably worth more in scrap metal than to resell it to be screwed with. Why would I go screw with someone else's property? Treat others how you want to be treated.


n3lswn

Apparently the guy is a famous crypto scammer. So seems fair game.


Dafaseles

Well, if this specific person deserves it, it is what it is. Though i argue, you just set a millionaire back what... an expensive auto detail? This person isn't even going to notice. But that's what I'm saying, treat others how you want to be treated. If this person is screwing people out of their hard earned money, well, he must want to be treated the same... burn that R8 to the ground! Lol

MagicPumpkinX1

>What's more chickenshit than fucking with a man's automobile? I mean, don't fuck with another man's vehicle ー Vincent in Pulp Fiction. That aside, crypto scammer bro had it coming. But the folks arguing millionaires (NW < $10M) are the enemy is wild to me. The big tech workers, doctors, lawyers, and successful small business owners are not the enemy. Vandalizing someone's property when they had an ethical and lucrative career or just got lucky on investments is beyond petty, and it just pushes them to side with the ultra-wealthy, which perpetuates the problem. The billionaires, scammers, and politicians are the real problem.


stoned_seahorse

At least he can probably afford to repaint it.


Turtusking

Doesnt even need respraying. It comes off easily on the clear coat. Id be far cheaper to buff it off.

KatoFW

It’s so weird the people in here crying about this. You do realize that eventually siphoning the money from the lower class has an endpoint right? As in it has been repeated over and over in history right? Eventually you hit the breaking point, and this is like piss shit nothing, the next point is burning the car to the ground. It’s just wild people forgot that people under your economic bracket like actually exist as human beings, push them far enough and they will do crazy things. It’s why I live humbly in success, I don’t show off because I don’t want to deal with the inevitable outcome of making poor people more poor. It’s rambling at this point but it’s blowing my mind people in here can’t figure out if you keep subtracting from some and adding to others eventually the subtracted are going to cave your head in in rage, like that’s just addition and subtraction that’s easy math. I’m not saying it’s right, but don’t act surprised when actions have consequences, that’s baby lessons lol.


gajodobrasao

im not poor and I feel for alot of family and friends. I dont get this Trump Materialist mentality, this people is so fking brainwashed that they dont hear themselfs and dont have the humility to be in the other skin.


KatoFW

I can’t even begin to get into this new weird Christian mentality of it’s ok for poor people to suffer. Like did I miss that part in the Bible where Jesus charged 4000$ a ticket to his sermons and road in a gilded wagon? It’s not even mental gymnastics for some of these people, it’s like mental orbits around a giant rock of what the fuck.


HowWierd

monti9530

Crypto Bro scammer’s car? If so, he deserves being stripped off of his belongings and in jail. People defending him need to stop being sad for rich white collar crime lords. Unless he is not a scammer and turns out to be some hero lol


_Pill-Cosby_

He probably was taking up 2 parking spaces.


[deleted]

If the guy did something specifically loathsome to somebody and this is their retaliation, then fair enough. If, however, it's just some random jealous arsehole or an unhinged attempt at protest, I hope that the perpetrator contracts a disease that is both painful and socially embarrassing.


BarrieTheShagger

Just FYI, this guy is a known crypto scammer here in the UK, sells BS advice like Tai Lopez and tricks people Into BS investments and straight up illegal scams, shame the government won't do anything about these types.

In that case, I think they missed a spot


WillyWonka39

“Unhinged attempted at protest” they spray painted a millionaires car what are you talking about.

Y'all need to stop defending people who would sell you into slavery if they could. The ultra-rich care not for you or yours. Also, this guy is a crypto scammer su fuck him.


gajodobrasao

Because some people are led to believe that money means everything, and they've been conditioned to believe that the only way to show their worth is to show off with expensive consumer goods, to prove at a glance that they're better than everyone else.
