[QUOTE=BMRLVR;9416066]No doubt..... 70K for an M3 is too much but 70K for a Pick-up is ok...... sounds like fort McMurray. Lots of people up here (and I mean lots) have 1 Ton Diesel trucks that are lifted with big tires and 500+HP. Many of those trucks cost way over 100K with the mods and those guys think I have a lot of money tied up in my car and make comments like "must be nice driving an M3".
Apparently spending money on a truck is not the same as spending the same amount of money on a car.

Welcome to red neck Alberta. I work in a historically "conservative" vocation myself and our parking lot at work is littered with 3/4 ton diesels, which as you say, cost in excess of $80k. Yet, even when I purchased my $55k "BMW" 335i it was a big deal. I was known as "that" guy that drives a BMW
When the fellas found out that I was ordering an M3, I was questioned as to why I didn't buy a Camaro SS or even a Challenger SRT!
