Ok fine with the spoon you've proved your neighbor has a Mercedes Gratz!!
Its really not that hard to buy a car - even a Mercedes. I'm more impressed with guy that sits in the back not the front. Most times you're not what you drive.
I have a friend and he got into trouble with bad real estate investments (spec homes new construction) We pulled up to a stop light, and he saw a homeless person with a sign. He thought about something then turns looks at me and says; that bum has a higher net worth then I do. He was right.
