They are less effected by kitting out their cars than you would be with that remote control buggy.
It's like what Jay-Z said, "What's 50 grand to a ni@@a like me; please remind me." Jay can throw out $50,000 like it was a $5 bill. You really think he's missing that? He gives more to charity.
Me personally, I don't care what anyone does with THEIR money. If they spend 75K on a wrist watch, it's all good. I don't hate. They're keeping someone employed somewhere. Oh, and my wife told me that a client at her job flew from Fort Lauderdale to Boca Raton for $8,000!!! Let me bring some perspective on that. I drive from Ft. Lauderdale and I work in Boca Raton. It's a 30 minute drive. That executive spent EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS to fly what is probably a 10 minutes trip via plane.
So, again, when you say that ppl are crazy for their spending habits regardless of their financial situation, that is because of your perception and your reality. Their reality really doesn't care about our opinions. You couldn't even sway they to change cause what you think it a lot of money is that $10 on paint for a R/C buggy ... or even less worth to them.
At my wifes previous job, her boss was the CEO's personal accountant (seemingly). That man was throwing out THOUSANDS on his lady friends. I'm talking 20-40K a pop just on gifts and crap. That man probably doesn't even know what "ballin" means, and probably cares even less to be called a "baller." That's his reality.
Lot of ppl like that in the world. Not everyone is effected by the recession. And mocking ppl over in Dubia is senseless too ... cause there are a lot of ppl worst than that who have even worst spending habits right here in USA.
perception ... and reality. Just let ppl do their own thing with their own hard earned $$. We don't know how deep or shallow their pockets are.

You are missing the point, some people can do it, but when you take years to complete something, only for it to be a replica. It says that *YOU* cannot. I don't care what you brag about your wife and her clients, you are still driving a 3.0 thats being peicemeal assembled into a *REPLICA* Lumma. The new model X5 will be out next year as a 2014 MY, and your project won't be done. Don't try to pretend that you are a balla, you obviously aren't Jayz.
Thats my point, we don't live in Dubai, regardless of what they do, don't try to equate what you are doing with them dropping 100k on some custom wheels, its definitely not the same thing.

I'm sorry...am I missing something (not tring to be a dick). Is that a before picture? I'm not seeing $15k in mods on that X5. Tinted tails, Eyelids, m roof rails, and some window trim. If that's $15k, that Lumma 5hit is ridiculously expensive.

It like talking to a wall with that guy. He throws on some tacky mods and thinks he's drving a Lumma
