On a maybe similar note, when I got my Z4MR, I got so sick of talking about my car with uninformed car people. I'd be at a family dinner or something and someone would ask "so, what's new?" and then my girlfriend would say "why don't you tell them about your new car?" Each time, the conversation would go like this.
Me: Well, I just traded in my car a couple weeks ago.
Them: Oh? What did you get?
Me: A BMW Z4M Roadster.
Them: Wow! A BMW?! (insert some smart ass joke or comment about how rich I must be or whatever)
Me: Well, it's used. And it's 7 years old so it was pretty reasonably priced. Actually, it was cheaper than what I paid for the new Volkswagen I bought previously.
Them: (some comment about how expensive BMWs are, and how usually rich/snobby people drive BMWs)
After this happened a few times I told my girlfriend to never bring up me trading in my car ever again.
