Jealous? Not at all. I've driven and owned, before I grew up, some truly powerful cars.

I recall years ago seeing a presentation on one of the financial shows where they asked the Mercedes marketing manger why there cars are so much more in the US then in Europe. The reply was, they've found that Americans are willing to pay more for them as they want the status.

CONFESSION-I DRIVE A PAID FOR IN FULL CHEVY.
I was going to attempt to say pretty much the same. It isn't nice to just start hammering on someone. For any reason. It isn't fair, it isn't kind and most of our mothers would put a stop to it. I turn my head when someone needs a little..."nudge" now and then and I have been the recipient of many deserved ones. But we need to stop before it sounds like just meanness.

I love to hear that anyone is driving a paid for car. That is a very good thing and especially when we are a "certain age". Born and raised to save money and be careful with it.

Incoming.

Sometimes mean Gracie.
