Impressing people on the internet or at a car show over how much I spent doesn't appeal to me, perhaps it does to others and that's their prerogative and there is nothing wrong with it.

After all, I bought the Z over a Cayman because it was a "cheap" way to get a good looking fun sports car with decent amenities, yet I don't see you lot telling me I should have just bought the quality car.
