Thanks, Blue07CivicEX! It was startin' to sound like class warfare in here!

It's both amusing and frustrating when folks think I'm some high-$$$$ spendthrift 'cause I have two BMWs, a Mercedes, and a Chevy. Of course, they're an '87, '86, '84, and a '57 respectively, so they're certainly not new. My last car payment was in '93 (on the used '86) and I've spent less on cars in the last five years than what a new low-end econocar costs.
