I am 33 and so, I do not get the 'mid-life' crisis remarks, although a friend did joke about it.
However, as an first generation immigrant who came to US with only $1200 in his pocket 4 years ago, I do get the 'daam him' comments. Funnily, these looks from my fellow Indians!
Most friends - both Indians and Americans - have remarked ' just wait for your kids to grow up / aren't you going overboard? / how can you be so financially irresponsible? etc.'
All I can say is that the only person I need to reply to in life is my wife and she was the person who urged me to go for a Porsche. She is amuzed by my passion for the car but accepts it as my childhood dream.
My 2 cents - we will get these comments and life is too short to respond to them. I will certainly take a very hard line at Vandalism but verbul assults I can ignore. As long as my significant other supports my lifestyle, I do not have to explain to anybody else
