... When I asked why she says "because we can afford it". What she means is I can afford it. I reckon it's because her friend has gone and got one.
So I had to explain that driving one of those is tantamount to saying you're a chavvy footballer's wife with no taste whatsoever and if you want to do that you might as well as get an Escalade or one of those ridiculous crappy Range Rovers. FFS.
I think I got away with it.

Strange now that expensive luxury cars give off a chav vibe. I will be buying a new/nearly new car next year so wondering which to go for. Price range 30-40k.

We've already guessed that she has no taste whatsoever, but you do make me laugh, SAS.

So a fairly ordinary looking 4 door saloon car with a very expensive badge, fair enough, if that lights your candle.

Not sure why any of us should give a flying **** about it, but if it pleases you then erm congratulations?
