I've often thought a bit about this. As I and my family are rolling down the highway in our 1978 Sportscoach motorhome (totally refurbished but still very 70's looking, paid for) pulling our home built 4 place trailer with 4 mid 90's to mid 00's Honda atvs on it, paid for, heading to a recreation destination. We see others in the latest diesel truck pulling a huge toy hauler with the latest and greatest quads etc. Is their weekend going to be any better than ours because of the price of their stuff? Or are the experiences going to be the same? I don't look on them with envy, but I have sure been looked down on a time or two. Bear in mind credit would allow us to have the latest and greatest, we just choose to live off pay as you go. I do enjoy the latest technology and often tell myself in a couple of years when that whatsit starts coming down in price it's going to be great. Is the p-car owners track day experience so much better than a Datsun owners? Or is it perceived value we attatch to things?
