Made that mistake already. All I heard for a week was, you must be rich to drive a M3. My response was, I work hard and like to play just as hard. No regrets. Life goes on. Most people that knows me, knows my passion. You can,t change who you are. And if you think you are going to judged by what you drive, it,s true you will. But you will also be judged by a lot more other things that really doesn't,t matter like your home, clothes, wife,s wedding ring and where you attended college etc. My advice, accept it. Life is not fare. Go drive that M3 and get over it,
