I personally hate the idea of cars as status symbols, and who you are should not be defined by your assets, but my life is all about moving the goal posts forward in small increments. Goals help to keep you motivated to work and move forward, and small moves are also a lot less daunting than big ones.
Relating that back to cars, it's kind of why I feel sorry for the kids who's parents bought them a BMW or Range Rover or whatever in high school. Talk about taking away all motivation to improve their situation in life.
