Why do you even decide to be a slave of your desires?

Do you not want things that are beautiful to you?

The cars my mates had were specifically a Jag xjs and a Mercedes 300sl, both mid late 80s, both kept in garages. They basically both rotted/rusted away. Maybe Porsches from that time were built different? Or maybe they just both bought duffers.

The Jag was fookin amazing when it worked though

THe jax xjs from the mid 80s (classic look) was absolute trash though. Possibly the lowest period of British automotive manufacturing.

Spent a ridiculous amount of money on a sealed video game. I'm a bit ashamed.

Multistradas are beautiful. I'm not at the old man tourer phase of my riding life for at least a few more decades so I can't say I'd get one yet. I still want the reborn Streetfighter:

I'm very happy with my Monster for the foreseeable future though, I don't wanna trade it in.

wanting nice things has nothing to do with capitalism btw. innovation and beauty in design should be allowed to flourish regardless of economic/social settings, it's our job to make it all as balanced and sustainable as possible.

gimme gulag
