I'm not too impressed with cars I see on a regular basis.  I've seen Mustangs.  I've seen Camaros and Corvettes.  I've seen BMWs, Mercedes, and Porches. 

I'm most impressed/surprised when I see something like a Ferrari or a Maserati.  And not because they're cool or fast (any car can be fast, but we all have to obey the same dumb speed limits), but because they're phenomenally expensive.  Even some BMWs, Mercedes, and Porches fit in with this group.  For some reason, I would think these types of car owners would do things differently than me.  I don't expect to see these cars in the ShopRite parking lot.  I don't expect to see them stuck in traffic.  I don't expect to see them at Home Depot buying plumbing supplies because their stupid sink broke at 2 in the morning. 

But I do.  I see people driving really expensive cars doing normal everyday things.  This doesn't add up.  We're not talking expensive like $40-50,000.  Sure that's expensive, but I could find a way to afford that (by eating dog food and washing my clothes in a river).  We're talking expensive like over $100,000.  This gets back to the whole idea of value.  People will easily spend $100,000 (and much more) on a house, but on a depreciating asset whose greatest feat is its ability to illegally allow you to speed?  It's ridiculous.  So it means the people who buy and drive these cars aren't normal people like me (insert joke here).  They don't have jobs, so there's no need for them to be in traffic.  They can afford maids and servants to do their shopping for them.  And home improvement?  Ha!  Perhaps I have a fundamental misunderstanding of lavish wealth.  I was under the impression that a guy who drives a red convertible Ferrari can do whatever he wants at any time of the day.  He probably has his own zip code and lives in a house made of stone.  He should have no need to go food shopping in the middle of a Thursday.  He should have no reason to visit Dover, NJ.  So I ask you, Mr. Ferrari driver, what were you doing at the ShopRite in Dover/Wharton? #travel
