I have to agree with Mr. Silver. Why do you think that someone who can afford to buy a car as a gift is evil? You don't know what kind of people they really are! Just because someone has money doesn't mean they are bad. Sure, over consumption is not good, but to each her own. I worked my *** off for 30 years and i don't apologize for anything I buy.
Yes, this is personal. I have a BMW that is 5 years old and is the best car I've ever had.
And, a lot of people with the money to buy one of those cars might cringe to find out how much some of us spend on bikes and assorted cycling shwag.
