I say, drive the car you want. I have been faced w/ the same type of comments from people, and until I explain that I'm a Mercedes-Benz enthusiast they judge me. It's pathetic that people buy a $30k+ SUV that in a couple of years will be worth less than my 1988 Mercedes and they look at you like "why do you have such expensive cars." My brother-in-law is a stock broker and tells me he has to drive a Explorer for fear that his clients would be uneasy if he drove something expensive. And, I see his point...but to me, it shows wisdom if you drive a MB cause owning a MB long-term will be much cheaper than buying a lesser car 4 times over.

It's one of those things...when people talk about how great their Accord is, just bite your tongue and smile.

Placo, buy the car you want, if you notice your losing sales then buy a work car.
