I feel what your saying for sure, I dont get lippy if they ask in the manner you have stated. Although I still dont feel as though it is something that should be asked when, like you stated, they can go on the internet and find out what one costs. I live in a small town and everyone knows what I do for a living so that is no secret, I guess in my scenario its a different situation than for you. You probably live in a big city and when someone asks you how much your car cost its in the way you stated. In the small town where I live its because the person asking is being nosey as hell and its very annoying.
