we can’t handle the fact that we buy the boxter because we can’t afford the 911, and we convince ourselves of the joinable driving and great exterior, that’s why we buy the cheapest Porsche and the ugliest, with an expensive parts, and all that is for pleasing people and hearing them say “ look! He is driving a Porsche”!

@e7lew

You pose a question and then ask people for their honest response, which I assume everyone responding did.

Then you go on and tell us, in essence, that we're all liars and only bought the Boxster because it was the only model we could afford and allowed us to say we 'drove a Porsche'. IMHO, that seems very disingenuous of you, a setup if you will.

Perhaps if your country repaid the $7B we spent prying you out from under Saddam's fist back in GW I, many of us might now be driving 911's.

Perhaps the We in your statement is YOU. If that is so, fine for you.

Don't ask us to speak and then speak for us. Very bad form.
