To those of us who are car guys, the car is not a symbol of wealth, but rather an object of affection. The sound of a Ferrari, or the handling of a Porsche on a complex road course is itself the reward. The price is just the cost of admission to the ride.
Weekend Porsches are not practical for daily drivers. Those of us who love our cars cannot park them next to a hoopdy and let the doors get dented and scratched. The car versus another investment is just a choice. The money will do me no good in 30 or 40 years, but the memories may still be there.
I don’t think I would be a good idea to trade my Porsche for acceptance by those who cannot afford, or cannot allow themselves any real treats in life.
