This thread is running in a couple of directions. That's OK. It happens in real conversation all the time.
As far as the commentary on bragging rights is concerned. . .
The couple has a passion for beautiful cars and they were sharing their passion.
Somehow sharing a passion seems different to me than just plain old flaunting.
I admit that a beautiful Mercedes always gets my attention.
. . .and sometimes a really beautiful Mercedes causes me to break out in song.
Janis Joplin would approve. (Not of my singing. She would approve of the passion for Mercedes.)
I sure hope the couple knows Janis's Mercedes Benz song.
There is even a line in the song that says, "I worked hard all my life, with no help from my friends. "
Uh oh, now the song is stuck in my head and will be there all day.
