A while back, when looking at what used to be called a tall stationwagon, I had a question. Being the way I am, I put it forward in a simple manner - "Why", I asked, "are you charging $15K less for the same vehicle, or from the other perspective, charging almost as much for the same vehicle, because of seat warmers?"
Her answer was, "Because this Toyota would be a Lexus, and that Lexus would not be different from this Toyota".
Fair enough... and though I didn't buy a vehicle from her, I appreciated her matter-of-fact honesty.
To out myself, and be very clear, I drive a fancy-pants Datsun, so please don't take this as, "Bleh is shitting all over Lexus, because... reasons". Even though I know it's the top of stupidity, I validate this market by handing my money over to the very people who I rail against.
Yup - that makes me a dumb cunt of the most hypocritical form. In some ways I am sorry, in other ways, I am not, and that makes me an even more giant ass... but once in this, there is no way out, so... yeah.
EDIT: But I am firmly not a Clarkson.
A quantum state of signature may or may not be here... you just ruined it.
