It can happen, and that's one type of person. There are also others who are just about as brand-sensitive to another make and who part ways because you bought "the other brand." Both demonstrate a type of personality that you probably won't miss.

...........life is simpler that way. My wife and two girls are all that I need..............
I do however catch a lot of jealous envy from my coworkers though. I'm the lowest paid person in my division and I have four cars..........one being my 2013 GS A6 (big cam wonder).

I have a buddy who is no longer married due to his ex's envy of his love for cars in general. He has a C2, a 34 Ford, and is currently building a Factory Five Cobra with his two teenage boys. He spends a lot of time in his garage, and she resented it, and wanted no part of getting all dirty and breaking a nail. She said, "It's me or the cars!"
I guess the cars won. He and the boys are quite happy.

That's easy.... that's where a real friend tells him to pull his head out of his arsh and stop being financially foolish and then he too can own a vette.

Haven't lost any friends over car, but made new friends at car shows we all roll to each week.
