I disagree. Maybe you are just jealous. lol

I appreciated his justification for getting a 135.

Not so much grandstanding as appreciation.

While I'm glad someone can do it in this world in which we live, is it necessary or is it a cultural thing I don't understand?


Then again, for what it's worth, I think you made the right choice.
Sure, one could see it as grandstanding, but there is the myth in some quarters that the 135 is a what you get if you can't afford the 3. So when someone says that they could easily afford a more expensive car but chose the 135, it pushes back on that myth.

I mean, if I said that I'd choose the 135 over the M3, it's kind of BS, since I can't afford the M3.

Yea, you really have to watch what you say these days. I went into Lowes yesterday to buy a leaf blower. While at the register the lady asked about yard work and I told her I bought it to blow dry the car off after washing. She said, "Oh, it must be nice."

I'm not sure what she meant but you don't have to be rich to buy a $59 electric leaf blower. Are times really that tough?
