I am that uncle. I'm just doing what I have to to survive.

If I could buy a new car I would. I'd get an electric, self-driving pleasure machine, but no way I can afford it.

Maybe when this thing breaks down (it's already 15 yrs old).

No problem with that. I think the meme is referring to people who spent 100k on outlandishly large and glitzy trucks to spend 100% of their lives on paved suburban streets.

My sister in-law? Broke as fuck, came across a windfall from an accident that never came up before, spent more than a third of it on... a fucking F-150 platinum. Still deep in debt, living in low income housing, doesn't have a job.

She won't have a truck soon, either.
