There are those that buy something for the prestige, investment, and/or bragging rights.
Then there are those that buy because they love what they own.
I shall not make an assumption as to you and/or anyone else's mindset for those choices, as I am not in your shoes, yet at the same time, you are not in mine. So, best that you do not add labels strictly based on the money spent for one item or another. Vain, conceited, and narcissistic are words I never want associated when others are discussing me.
Some will get it, others will not, which one of those two groups are you associated with?

5 pages of nonsense and you picked me to quote? Move on.... go back to Hall Monitoring a forum in which you do not own.
I've seen you bullied members who re-start a dated thread.

Ok, so we'll mark you down as one of those that does not get it.
Thanks for the response

For me, I would add "know-it-all" to your word list. I like to think I learn something new around every turn!

Oh man this is funny - MRMUSTANG must have left to go to the bathroom or something because he would have taken all this down by now if he was reading it (just like he does at the SAAC site)! |

I didn't mean that as a dig on Bill. Hope it didn't come across that way.
I meant it as a trait that I don't want to be thought of having because I am certainly no "Know-it-all" by a long shot!

Indeed, I try to learn something new every day, cars, bikes, planes, and just about anything else mechanical in nature. Keeps my head on straight, and my mind firmly in gear.
Again some will get it, others never will.

Oh, I totally get it.
And BTW, it's a proven fact that narcissism is incurable. I know a few and can only tolerate them so much.

Congrats! You made it to the top of the rock pile and can now kick rocks down on the poor little bastards trying to climb up! 
All in fun and hope you realize that.

Oh. You were kidding? I assumed you were talking about me.
You're right. Narcissism may be incurable. |

Enthusiasm is measured in many ways not just how much money one spends on a car. There are many factors to consider.

Well put. I for one believe that I suffer from some level of OCD once I am fixed on a project or problem, be it a certain screw or part or something they all say doesn't exist. And I will chase the ends of the world until I get exactly what I am looking for. Call it enthusiasm or whatever.
