Gary’s Q&A

Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage

Let’s jump right in. The first question comes from Soren Landblom on the Discord server, who asks: “What’s your dream car, and what’s your dream place to live?

Honestly, this might be hard to believe, but I don’t really have a dream car. I have no fantasies about sports cars, as I think sports cars are incredibly impractical. Even if I won the lottery, I would never buy a car like a Lamborghini. They are expensive, fragile, and you can’t use them anywhere close to their potential, given speed limits. Even cars like BMW or a Mercedes, I can recognize that they are quality cars, but I don’t think I’d ever buy one. They seem more for impressing other people, which I have no desire to do.I drive a Jeep Wrangler. I’ve had nothing but Jeeps since about 1997. They have excellent resale value, are extremely customizable, and there is a community of people surrounding the vehicles. Almost everyone who has a Wrangler waves to anyone else driving one who passes them.

As for where I would live, I’ve been to cities all over the world. Many of them are great places to visit, but that doesn’t mean I’d want to spend the rest of my life there. At this point, I’d rather find a place to build something rather than just move to some city.
