people who do not knwo anything about cars

recently i was on facebook and one of my old schoolmates had recently bought himself a new car. he was a pretty smart guy so i figured he wouldn't make a bad decision when buying a good car. how wrong i was. he had decided to buy a hyundai sedona which regardless of what is on paper or surverys or research, a korean car is death. nothing against the koreans but its just their cars are horrible. the best part about this were his moron friends that were commenting how they were 'jealous' and how its 'a nice car'. sure you don't want to be mean but jealous? really? its like wanting new and good cookware and getting the target brand. sure in the beginning it looks good but give it 5 years and its going to be OVER. i was quite tempted to be like 'WTF were you thinking when you bought this car? did you not consult ANYONE who knows about cars?' to me a car is a BIG investment since it can only depreciate. cars are meant to wear down and will never last so why the hell would you buy a car that is absolutely rubbish? if you want a NEW car and can't afford a better one then keep saving OR get a used car that is better. i seriously do not understand people who just want a new car and get something that is horrible.
