Most Lamborghini owners aren’t spending their salary or working overtime.
You only need to be in the top 5-10% of earners in the US to start to afford the cheaper super cars. They already own their home and are enjoying life.
It’s not the amount of money it’s the method of acquisition. An engineer or independent contractor or something could make that kind of money and still not be considered bourgeoisie. (Though probably petit-bourgeoisie?)
It did make me think of examples where there are edge cases though. Say a freelancer or an artist that, although they do not directly employ people, their income from their work could be greatly multiplied by the work done by others. In the end it might just boil down to details whether such an arrangement is or is not petit bourgeoisie.
The meme’s not really about the car it’s about the ideology of the person in it and how common that “consoom your way to freedom” view is among certain males in particular. Cars are whatever and sometimes amazing machines, like yeah maybe people shouldn’t be able to buy million dollar vehicles while other people starve, but that goes way beyond a car and more like the whole structure of capitalist economy.

I’m pretty sure you just don’t like the idea that middle class individuals can afford supercars
Which is it? Can I be middle class and afford a supercar, or do I need to be upper class (being in the top 10% of earners) to be able to afford one? Because I’d love to hear an argument that “middle class” and “top 10%” are remotely the same that didn’t make me laugh in your face.
If you really can’t do the math on how someone making 150 can make a cheap supercar when for them that’s on you. It’s clear you never once been to a meet or track day and are just making shit up as you go.

-by exploiting other’s labor and creating a bigger wealth disparity than has ever existed
Blah blah blah, I know anyone who makes more than 150k a year bougie and stealing from the poor. You ain’t going to make headway there with me

Still a prole until you stop relying on selling your labour power for money. Though an outlier statistically.
Correct.

Look up. That’s the point you missed

Congrats. You’ve missed the point entirely.
Whatever you say. I’m pretty sure you just don’t like the idea that middle class individuals can afford supercars and don’t have to sell their soul.

170k puts you in the to 10%
