I've found through observation that people seem to just think it is "right" to throw away vast quantities of money to drive a "new" car.....half the people at my workplace drive cars likely more than they can/should be able to afford, but they do it anyways.

I'll keep on enjoying my '82 and '90.....no payments, and they're awesome. My car blows the mind of people at my work....it is almost 3x as old as the next oldest car in the parking lot. Most of them simply don't understand when I say I am nearing 300k....oh well, their loss.
