Same goes here. I recently had to give my boss a ride back to the office after a client meeting. He said to me what a flashy car I have. I was totally floored because he would not make such comment to my co-worker's Porsche. But since I drive a R129 I am too flashy. My response to him was "its all perspective". The way I look at it is if you can afford it, buy the best you can and enjoy (check out one of the threads in this forum "Car and Watches"). Life is way too short to worry what other think. People make such comment usually out of jealeousy and resentment. I did not tell him to have a whole house full of kids, and every penny he makes goes the the rug rats. Boy, pulling over on I-95 and told him to find himself a taxi because I quit and get out of my flashy car did come across my mind.
