In many parts of the world, having a vehicle more than 2 wheels or extra vehicle for enjoyment is a status symbol. Going beyond the basic necessity is self-absorbed and frivolous. Our overseas neighbors viewed North Americans as that. Perspective can either blind us, or open your mind. Stay in your trenches and defend what you believe, or come out of the wall and see they're not so different. Wisdom is a valuable lesson to be passed on to future generations, but it is not an entitlement for righteousness. They have every right for their decisions as you have yours. To each his own. Be happy.

Thoughtful prose indeed. However, one-upmanship and placating one's own ego will never lead to happiness. True happiness is neither bought nor achieved by outdoing your neighbour. I'm looking forward to the next wave of ostentatious spending on the street just to see who buckles first. Who's fragile ego will be first to crumble to cause him/her to up the ante? Mercedes and Land Rover have laid down a very expensive gauntlet. Who knows? If the escalation gets out of hand, we might just see the construction on a heli-pad and a Bell 407 landing in one of their yards! Exciting times lie ahead!!!!

Well, the weather folks are calling for snow on Friday (as of this morning) so I think I'll hold off on the repair until my dealer's schedule loosens up a bit. I just can't afford to be without a 2 stage machine at this time of the year. I'll ask him to call me if he has any holes in his schedule to fill that will minimize the amount of time it's out of my hands.
