I've had two sets of friends during my professional career. People who are like myself - technical people, have families, make really good money, and then my car friends - younger, may or may not have families, don't make **** for money for the most part. Among these groups there have always been two different attitudes - the first group is impressed by default, the second is jealous... mostly jealous in denial. Would I rather be around software engineers or car people, though? Eh, that's a tough call.

So you don't belong to the category "Working to save enough money to buy this car standing on your own two feet?"
I don't care how much money you make, but you make enough to afford this car on your own, no?
I would be much more impressed if someone at 22 makes enough money on his/her own to afford a Ford Focus than a 22 year old driving a Ferrari his daddy bought him.
