    It was abit strange that when I started to earn a full-time salary with an established "career", my parents were wondering when I would buy a car.

    When already they knew I wasn't good at driving, didn't like it, etc.

    It was the status thing.

    Reminds me of the Singaporean stereotypical aspirational "5Cs": cash, car, credit card, condo, country club.

    Wasn't aware of the 5C's.
    For certain, I don't come from country club family stock. Thank goodness for cycling. That's the yuppie 5Cs? To appease those who still want the Audi or BMW parked in their garage.
