Holly shit! I just saw a guy at Cumbies buy 23 dollars worth of Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale and drive off in a 15k Ford Fiesta SE. What are these people even doing?!?!

McLarens are hella cheap to buy used compared to other exotics. Could be a 200k 720s for all you know. Would you make a post if you saw someone do the same thing in a new range rover? Depending on options, same price.
(And yes, over 60k on a car is crazy, but we all live different lives. )

They probably live in a high-populated area with a lot of kiddos.
NGL though, I would spend $200 on candy. I'd get some right now, actually, but it's Sunday and I wanna relax. Belated Halloween candy when everything goes on sale, it is!

That’s not rare at all in kennebunk lol. There’s a guy Steve who owns a Lambo on route 1 and owns a shop. I hear he’s a nice guy but THATS more concerning considering the lowness of the vehicle. Someone bought 11 bags of candy in a rich town is meaningless but that’s just me

So it was full size candy bars right? That’s the only way to go if you have a McLaren.

I’m from away (for work purposes) staying in that area and I’ve seen more Ferraris, Bentleys, and Lambos than I’ve ever seen in my life. This doesn’t surprise, there’s a lot of wealth in the area.

One time in 2020 I watched ( admittedly eves dropped) a guy in aubuchon hardware buying an old fashioned fuses for an old car he seemed to be working on. He discovered they are $3-4 at check out. Balked and decided to only get to only get one. Then I watched him leave in a truck that had to cost $50k. I guess he got there by being frugal?

There are quite a few supercar owners in Maine, although they're mostly older rat-fucked or heavily-modified Gallardo's. You could buy them for ~$80-90k used a few years ago. You can still get a semi-low mileage Gallardo Spyder for about $129k, which is only about $20k more expensive than the Ford F-150 Raptor or the new Range Rover. Still likely out of reach for the average Mainer, but not for an older car enthusiast or business owner.
But you're 100% right - unless you've got a fat bodywork budget, owning a vehicle with such a low ground clearance in Maine is ridiculous. Many have airbags to lift the front a bit, but you'd be stuck riding on those 24/7 in most places in the state.
