      It’s not a “car fetishisation” thing, it’s a “this car cost me literally thousands of dollars and I can’t just go buy another one willy nilly if some idiot wrecks it” thing.

          And if one of your buddies ends up killing someone in an auto accident while using your car, I guarantee you’re going to feel much worse than an idiot, insurance be damned.

          That’s okay, you can tell the dead person’s family members that you definitely never lend your car to idiots. I’m sure they’ll understand.

              this is an insane take and I am not going to continue this “discussion”

              ^ Translation from Clueless to English: “I do not understand how deadly motor vehicles can be, and I’m fortunate enough to have never been in a car accident.”

              Sweetheart, the only thing here that’s ‘insane’ is that you don’t realize that a car can easily kill someone. Go take a driver’s ed course, you desperately need one.
