NomNomLamborghini pulls plug on plans to launch all-electric supercar
Reason: the driver wants to be heard while driving around, or “for the emotional connection” as they put it nicely in the article. Seems like prosthetic lion’s roar to me.
I don’t think there is a more pathetic display of money. Rolex were on the top of my list with their expensive ugly watches.

FuglyDuckrolexes are actually extremely well made, though. that’s why they became so well-valued.
They were the watches people used because they were reliable and bomb-proof. (sometimes literally.)
Rolexes fail at being watches compared to other products that cost $5. A “bomb-proof piece of jewelry” is not a convincing argument. The whole point is showing that you have money.
/sigh
Because things have always been the way they are today.
The point I’m making that you’re either ignoring or that you’re not understanding is that Rolex’s weren’t always so expensive, especially when you consider they’re mechanical and not digital, extract power from your wrist’s motion and have been known to run decades without any maintenance all in extreme conditions… and all that at a time when your cheap five dollar watch didn’t even fucking exist, and has never been able to replicate it’s endurance. Rolexes started as the affordable-but-reliable option and became the highly-valued, expensive pieces they are today because of their utility.
Completely unlike lambo supercars, which have always been temu ferrari, and catered to a very select group of stupid people.
that you think rolexes fail just demonstrates you don’t actually know what a rolex is, or who used them. and that’s okay. but don’t sit there and pretend like your $5 cheap piece of crap whose band will break inside a month is comparable. It’s laughably not.
