Woman Test Drives McLaren. Then The Salesman Humbles Her For Asking A Routine Question: 'If You Have To Ask, You Can't Afford It'

A TikTok video shared by creator Julia (@juliaagonzaa) shows a tense moment during a McLaren test drive. Asked by the driver, “What is the MPG on this?”, the salesman replied: “If you have to ask, you can’t afford it.” The interaction quickly turned into laughter between them, and Julia later posted that being “humbled” wasn’t on her agenda. Viewers in the comments criticized the remark as unprofessional, while others questioned whether the question could simply be about fuel usage. The article notes pricing context: a new McLaren starts around $230,000, while the ultra-luxe W1 begins at about $2.1 million.
