Sometimes I envy the people who look at a car as transportation--thrilled with a Camry, Corolla, Altima, G6 or whatever. Look at all the "beaters" out there--most people can probably barely afford a new car, like we can.
Of the people who "like" cars, think how many of them would love a BMW and are probably somewhat envious of us as we (hopefully) speed by. Last night I had a few looks from pedestrians as I put the top down as I approached my car with the remote.
BTW, let's not ignore the above picture and acknowledge everything we take for granted. Out to dinner?? That vulture or whatever almost looks like it's looking at its next meal.
