I've never understood why people are so quick to say how much they paid for their car and how much they've spent on it since they bought it. Maybe I'm old fashion, but I don't discuss my finances with anyone.
Anyway, it does sound like a nice ride. Enjoy it!

I only discuss what I paid when I got a screaming deal. Then as the money faucet begins to drip and those drips turn into leaks, I no longer like to talk about how much I have in the car. Especially when my wife asks.
