Or buy whatever the fuck you want, because why not make one part of your miserable life slightly more pleasurable by driving something that makes you smile. In the US, 99% of us need a vehicle to commute because we don't have access to decent public transportation, so why not drive something you enjoy? Do I need a 500hp Mustang to get me to work and back? Hell no, but it sure does turn that commute into a few precious moments of happiness before I start the 9-5 grind.

You could also change your life in a way that sitting in traffic is not your day's highlight, but you do you

That's a very privileged take.

If you could truly enjoy it. Stuck in traffic, a Mustang is little more than eye candy and ego soothing.
