Both my father and father in law retired recently. They’ve done financially pretty well in life - not super rich, but they can live loose a bit.

Both were recently in the market for new cars. As a car enthusiast, I told them to YOLO and buy something like a 911.

But no, they got a staid huge BMW sedan and a staid huge Benz SUV respectively, despite neither of them ever likely to use the back seats at all.
