Ok there might be a snobbish gene in there somewhere. I suppose I am sort of a Warren Buffett type snob. I tend to buy quality and good value and hold it for a very long time. I shoot for 90% of the performance at 10% of the price. I really try not to judge others choices but sometimes it just squirts out... My bad. And I drive a used Boxster
Coffee: Appreciate a good bold cup that I brew at home, never buy Starbucks.
Beer: Simple tastes but I do prefer European Pils.
