		It’s no less valuable because he got it cheap.

A single stick of DDR5 RAM on Amazon in about $450 now. Three sticks would be $1350. Do most people drive old clankers with less than $1500 resale value?

You still need a few terabytes to enter the real cars territory.

Where? Even in Europe, 88% of households have a car, and on average just over half of all people.

I have seen global estimates for number of people with access to a car to be about 20%. But can't find a link.

Some related stats [1, 2] from which one can infer that the above number is roughly correct.

		I guess if we expand it worldwide that makes sense, though in a discussion about 96GB of RAM it feels like an apples to oranges comparison to bring in the entirety of the world. That is including a whole lot of people who probably couldn't afford the RAM or a car even if they saved most of their income for a decade.
