We ask a lot of stuff like that at work when we see someone in something we like. We give our co-workers first shot at our cars when we sell them, etc. No nastiness is tied to the "How much did it set you back" question/answer.

I get some people that will park next to it to take pictures and stuff, I get a kick out of it. I can't say that i've had many haters say anything to me, most are enamored by being around one. I do get the questions about how much it costs and stuff, and i'm honest about it. I let people sit in it and play with the buttons and touchscreen gauges. I know 10 years ago i'd never thought I would be driving one and I would have loved the opportunity to sit in a car like this and play with the buttons, so I don't mind for people to do the same. I just don't give rides in it.
