Are you into cars?

Just the other day, Jewelle posted an entry about "Do you judge a person by his car?" She also mentioned the reason why a particular neighbour of theirs was spotted with a fancy brand new car - it was for him to be able to acquire more respectable standing. I find that is a bit unfair and agree with her that it is sad knowing people actually judge someone's position based on the car that he or she drives or even the types of clothings and accessories that he or she owns. For all you know, a person who has a humble local made car might own more moolah than those who drives a BMW. If you ask me, I would say a person who has more cash is richer than those who has expensive stuff but with loads of debts on his or her shoulders. Of coz if you have both that would be wonderful and you're indeed one rich and lucky person! Anyway, coming back to the car subject, although it would always be nice to own a fancy one but I'm certainly not a person who is into fancy cars. As long as I can reach from point A to point B without any problem and the car is still in tip top condition, I'm fine. But then again, if I do strike lucky with a huge amount of cash from a lottery ticket, I won't mind splurging a bit on a brand new car hehe...otherwise, perhaps I could always stick to my old faithful car or consider purchasing good reasonable used cars ;p
