I always say "ninety-eight Nissan."

Although you wouldn't think so by the forum, a 335 is a way above average car in the real world. I'm going for partner/VP so if people see me bragging about my car, talking about my new LED license plate upgrades, dub ones, quad exhaust HID 20k conversion, my gut is they're thinking, "he obviously doesn't need a better job," or they think my priorities are messed-up. If a person is a car person, then I'll talk BMW with them. Otherwise, it's on the down low. As I get older, no kidding, for whatever reason, I'm becoming more humble and modest. Two great experiences (not at the moment but in retrospect) are losing more than your annual salary on Wall St. (on paper), and making a mistake at work, owning up to it, and thinking that you may lose your job as a result, but finding that people are appreciative you owned-up. I highly recommend going through those, in the long run they seem to be real learning experiences.
