And you don't have to make a million bucks a year to lease a new car. You can get a seriously nice ride for $400 a month, which many people spend more on smokes and beer per month.

And that is another great point. I love cars. Some guys spend 500 bucks a month on fancy high fashion clothes, opt to buy my suits at Sears days, and spend my money on a hot rodded GTI. I don't look at them like appliances to get around, I want to have fun while I'm getting around, and all the latest kit to boot. Every couple years, I want that factory fresh, out of the wrapper feel. Nothing beats it, and it never gets old, even though I have had 8 new cars, in the last 12 years.
And our sales manager knows my threshold too...lol. Every 18-24 months, they tend to park a 2 door GTI, spec'd out exactly how I would want it, right in front of my office. Tinted, 3M'd full of gas and ready to go....until I cave in from having to look at it all day. And undoubtedly, after about a week I wander into his office with my tail between my legs..."OK butt head, what are you gonna give me for a trade in on mine?"
