Yea I have neighbors that say, "wow that's not a good family car, your not very responsible."
I just reply "funny, my Crossfire and PT Cruiser cost me less than your REALLY big ford SUV, who is the irresponsible one?"
I love people... lol.
In a similar vein, besides modest daily drivers for my daughter, my wife and myself, we have seven other vehicles ranging in vintage from 1971 thru 2004. Most of them are cars that we had used as daily drivers for over 100K miles (often a lot over) and, because they were not worth much as trade-ins, if we liked them we kept them when we bought newer cars.
While a lot of folks in our small town think we are quite extravagant, the fact is that, over the years, we've put a lot less into our cars than most of our detractors who turn over several (often leased) expensive vehicles every two years or so.
Sometimes we point this out to them, other times we don't bother.
