And now...no one had better touch my German taxi cabs because by God my boss at the big box store knows I am DA MAN when it comes to success above his hourly rate once upon a time!
Insulting me gets you three days in the cooler. Enjoy it.
If by "insulting" you mean pointing out a personally touchy subject of the "working man" ethos and your place in it, I don't understand why you shouldn't be proud of and wear on your sleeve the idea of being an honestly rich American communist. Seriously, how many of those can there be in the country?
But does it really take TWO luxury cars to make sure the other neighborhood millionaires notice that you are like them, and not grubby "less equal" working folks in the neighborhood?
I'm far more comfortable avoiding the type of ..... scenario.... I've just described. Comes from having grown up differently I imagine, and not having anything in me that demands I be recognized for my success. Except that one ego-stroking thing though (don't we all have at least one? :) )
Why the personal sensitivity? This is a microscopic website with nobody here, it makes sense that if you are looking for attention in a flashy way IRL it doesn't matter at all here among the geriatic league, or defending yourself for liking said attention IRL either.
Drive, enjoy, (just don't get too far from a Benz dealer), wave at the neighbors while doing so to make sure they know who is DA-DOG when it comes to neighborhood status, and enjoy! No need to be prickly about it here in the least.
