.... for the exact same reason that when you are in your beater, some fit looking woman in a nice car will pull up along side you at the lights - leaving you to think "I wish I was in the S now" while trying desperately not to make eye contact.

Who cares what people think If anyone thinks that a nice car gives them more class obviously doesn't have any in the first place

if it is that embarassing then why drive it?!

I have a shitter i run about in and actually find it quite amusing that all the people must look down on me driving there beamers on 100% finance who think they are something special

Mate, I feel that's being a teeny biy harsh on Jamies2k.

Your comment is correct, of course, but I think that most poeple - given the choice - would prefer to be caught looking their best rather than their worst.... it's human nature, no? Anything less smacks of a slight lack of self respect to me.

Not trying to flame anyone here.... just my 2p
