I've never understood the "conspicuous consumption" class of people.
One of the many lessons imparted by my father was living well below your means so one has no debt, one has the resources for what you want to do when you want it (especially including retiring when you want to), and making yourself less of a "target".
Referring specifically to the video, I can think of many cars I would like to have to the price of one exotic. Or....given the current market price for a Testarossa I know I would rather spend that money on a pristine E-type, and have money left over for the inevitable Jag repairs.
