How to Keep with the Jones's

That's funny because I saw the whitest beard I have ever seen in my life this morning, and he was behind the wheel of a silver 370Z sport. The guy looked pretty badass.

BTW, I am a businessman and have been a businessman in both a 370 and Mustang. I feel "refined and multidimensional" in neither of the two cars. They are sub $40k toys that kids have easy access to. Nothing "refined and multidimensional" about them.

If I was driving a BMW, Audi, Porsche, Merc, or other luxury/high-end car maybe I'd feel that way. But I don't. I just feel like a successful professional who, outside of the office, absolutely refuses to grow up. Bottom line is I *should* be driving one of those cars but I'm not.

Biggest/whitest beard I saw was behind the wheel of a drop-top 98-02 Z28.

It's all about preference I think. I still LOL at the idea that the 370Z could ever be viewed as conveying the type of maturity, and discrimination the poster above indicated.

I even view the GT-R as a younger guy's car. Maybe some nanoengineer or IT guy in his late 20's.

Just my perceptions, surely many will argue against.
