Confronting strangers at car meets to vindicate your suspicions about their "true" socio-economic status doesn't make you cool. It makes YOU look insecure and pathetic.
I agree with this. Not everybody has 25k sitting around in the bank ready to be spent. In fact, the vast majority of people don't. It's one thing for people who live above their means, but theres nothing wrong with making payments while owning the car.
