Why spend all that money on the car you love, only to be ashamed to own it.

Makes you wonder why people spend 15k on a car there embarrassed to drive.

It's like a lot of things I guess. Trainspotters love writing down train numbers but I bet few would boast about it.

My Focus SVT is a pretty good car but out here only 17yr olds drive them and people look down their noses at me for driving a 'kids car' -

Marketing driven sheep are everywhere out here
