There was an article awhile ago on I think CNN about this topic. Bottom line is, wealthy guys don’t care about flaunting their money, so if they’re car guys, they’ll buy cars, if they’re not, they don’t. Just look at Bill Gates and his 37 cars garage and Jay Leno with a much more impressive collection. A car to some is just a mode of transportation while to others, it’s a mode of enjoyment. I personally would eat rice and soy sauce everyday and drive a fun/nice car than eat out everyday and drive a Civic. Different strokes for different folks.
