I feel what your saying for sure, I dont get lippy if they ask in the manner you have stated. Although I still dont feel as though it is something that should be asked when, like you stated, they can go on the internet and find out what one costs. I live in a small town and everyone knows what I do for a living so that is no secret, I guess in my scenario its a different situation than for you. You probably live in a big city and when someone asks you how much your car cost its in the way you stated. In the small town where I live its because the person asking is being nosey as hell and its very annoying.

Lots of people have weak google-fu. They just want a quick answer. Society ties value to MSRP. They want to know how impressed they should be, basically. Or, if they know what you do and make the same, they might be gauging whether or not they can make the move to what you are driving. We ask a lot of stuff like that at work when we see someone in something we like. We give our co-workers first shot at our cars when we sell them, etc. No nastiness is tied to the "How much did it set you back" question/answer.

Hrmmm, not exactly the best or safest solution. This might be safe in Kali, but elsewhere, people often have gun, and do travel.

You would've broke his jaw because he misunderstood what you said? Do you do that to everyone who doesn't get what you're saying on the first take? You must either have excellent locution or a lot of broken-jawed friends.

Take some anger management classes before (a) you try that with some guy who will beat your *** into a pulp instead or (b) you assault someone who will sue you for so much money that you'll be lucky to have money left over to buy a 10 year old riced out Civic.

Maybe you can handle your car but you can't handle your temper.
