In 1982 I bought a brand new fully loaded Camaro Z28. They had changed the body style that year and I was the first person in my town to get one.
I was busting my ass working in construction in the hot Florida sun and it took EVERYTHING I had just to get the new car. I lived in a small town full of spoon fed rich kids and the first thing they would say when they saw my car was " You need to put some nice rims on that thing and THEN it would be awesome ".
I learned two life lessons from that experience. One, I'll never diss someone for not having more than they do because I really don't know how hard it was for them to get what they do have. Two, people that expect other people to have something more than they do are nothing more than douche bags.
