Talking Keeping up with the Jones' or "Car Wars"

My wife and I bought our 2001 Boxster six months ago. Well, I guess it just ate away at my sister-in-law and her husband...we had a better car than they did. Actually, I should preface this by saying that in 2005 we bought a new Chevy Avalanche. A year later they bought a new Chevy Avalanche. Anyway, long story short, they came by last night with a beautiful 2004 Vette ragtop...blk/blk/blk.

I couldn't help but chuckle and think about the "Star Wars" that Ronny Reagan used to bankrupt Gorby and the Soviet Union!

What should we buy next to show them up?...any ideas would be welcomed. ; )

Silverboxter, do you really want to get your sister-in-law and husband going? Continue to have the greatest friendship & marriage with your wife!

Do you have kids? Send 'em to Prep School. That'll bankrupt the SIL.
