People buying 2 or 3 times the same car, just because their mods didn't end as they liked, seem to us a bit spoiled.
This is one of my major pet peeves. People take the cost in another country, apply the currency exchange rate and say "oh that only cost you this" or "that is to much money". The simple exchange to US dollars just doesn't work unless you convert the entire economy to the same thing. Great if the rate says the car only cost $20K someplace if the average income there is $18K a year it may as well be a new Porsche to many.
