Trust me, billionaires are penny-pinchers too. Moreso than most people would imagine. Half are the biggest mooches in the world and the other half are complete laydowns. There’s no in-between. ---

Yep, many people who have acquired wealth themselves may be willing to spend money, but will never be comfortable wasting money or paying more than the absolute minimum required. ---

I was offered a service for regular sanitizing from the F&I guy in May. Makes no sense because if my car is contaminated, it likely came from me or somebody who already gave it to me. And even if you’re a Lyft/Uber driver, it’s way too late to sanitize by the time you bring it in for your regular service. ---

That has to be one of the most useless dealer add ons I’ve seen yet. If anything wouldn’t it just confuse a driver behind you, thinking that you are tapping the brakes to slow down instead of stopping? ---

Oh so this fancy air is $199 So what’s the “advantage” of a nitrogen fill again? And in all the dealer disclaimers I’ve seen it always says “includes a $xxx nitrogen fill already installed etc” so basically can’t say I don’t want that crap.
