[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole thread is crazy... you can have money and choose to drive an old beater, good for you - all it shows is that you don't care about being more comfortable. I don't really get someone driving an old subaru when they can drive a brand new benz, porche, whatever - these cars are just more comfortable to drive, it has nothing to do with status (unless you make it about status). Drive what you like, enjoy life and enjoy your money while you still can[/quote]

I've driven a new benz and a new toyota and they seem the same to me? Like, maybe the materials are nicer? Maybe if I drove really a lot more? Idk. [/quote]

This just shows that you don't understand (or care to) anything about cars. That's ok, not everyone is a car person. Ive been poor and now I'm not - I have driven econoboxes and new toyotas and there is no comparison -unless you drove one of the new low end model mercedes, but even those are nicer to be in.

DP here. It’s like wine. If a $25 bottle tastes fine to me, why do I need to buy $100 bottles just because someone else tells me it’s better? Maybe they are right but I’m happy with what I have. Same concept. Works with houses, clothes, anything really. [/quote]

Agreed!  And even as a wine snob, we don't just open a $125+ bottle every night.  We know how to find great bottles in the $30-45 range.  That is our "everyday" wine, and when we have friends/family over or we just feel like a treat we have the "better" bottles.  And sometimes we do open a $125 bottle and sit at home, just the 2 of us and enjoy it with a nice pizza :-)

However the analogy would be paying $10 for a Honda bottle, $45 for a Mercedes bottle, $125 for a Porsche bottle and then $5,000 for a Ferrari bottle.

Do people even read what they write?  [/quote]
