Why does anyone buy an expensive anything?

I get t.  I might spend $100 on a vinyl LP once in a blue moon, and that's my thing. And I had a friend who didn't have a hell of a lot of money but once a year he'd buy a $500 bottle of Scotch.

But cars are something you pay for all the time every month or as a big one-time payment. People I work with were talking about where to get the best deals on new beamers, and I couldn't believe it. They made the same amount as me, and we didn't have a pension. I feel like I've saved hundreds of thousands.

And to answer my own question, I spend about 6% of a year salary on a vehicle once every 3 or 4 years.
