[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would someone buy a 70-150k car when a 35k car gets you around just fine? Seems like a waste to me. I have a friend who just bought a Mercedes and I don't think k I could bring myself to do it. I know everyone's values are different but if I got a raise, I would go on vacation and save some.

Lol, 35k car.  Try a 15k Hyundai Elantra.

The job of a car is to get you from point A -&gt; B. [b]I would think the main reason you'd buy something like a Bentley, Rolls Royce, BMW, etc. is as a status symbol; a way of saying &quot;Hey everyone, look at how much money I make[/b]&quot;.

But to each their own.

And in some cases you might be right, however in many you would be wrong. Lots of people like cars, they like the way they look, smell, feel, handle on the road, they just LIKE driving cars -- a car is not a utilitarian device for those people. Some people will go with a basic stove and others must have a Bertazzoni Dual Fuel Range or a Wolf. This constant conversation over how X person wouldn't spend Y for Z thing and then [b]denigrating [/b]those who do, is tiresome. [/quote]

It's not just the denigration, but this additional air of condescension at those having different preferences, as if it is objectively superior to not spend Y for Z thing, to such a degree that they attack the moral character of those who choose to spend their money in this way.[/quote]
