I never understood the prejudice, honestly. I mean you can get a brand new 320i or base model Benz for a bit over 30 grand. Meanwhile the people who look down on you for driving something "expensive" are riding around with mountains of debt driving their $70k luxury trucks and SUVs. 
It doesn't bother me, I could care less what people think, but it always reminds me just how ignorant people are.  |
Facts...I was literally just having this exact conversation with my buddy earlier today. The ignorance is real lol
