Here's the funny thing.. Just because I live/work in Hollywood doesn't mean there aren't times that I'm made to feel uncomfortable because of the quality of my ride(s)..

But what's even funnier is, I'd be more comfortable pulling into uncomfortable places in a BMW X5//M than I would be in pulling in driving my 1997 Porsche Carrera S.

Now, my Porsche is nearly 13 years old, is probably worth somewhere in the $40k region and by no means is an exotic car. There are F-150's that cost more.

But you'd be surprised the types of looks I get from Valets, people I work with, etc. who don't blink an eye at a $80k+ vehicle but see a Porsche and react in some inappropriate manner based on the value of the vehicle.

My point is, you can't put a value on people's perceptions. No one knows a BMW ///M car from a 4.8i except the enthusiasts anyway and they will appreciate it.

Don't worry about what other people think.. Drive what you enjoy.
