It only bothers me because it seems to me to be a sign of the excess that's become such a problem in our society. When I was much younger, if you financed a car you couldn't go more than 5 years. And the cost of a car or truck ran about ten percent of middle class people made in a year. Now you can finance a car for 7 years and the price is sometimes as much as half of what an average middle class persons yearly income is.

I only worry about because of the values that I think it's teaching to these youth ...... The same ones that will running things when I'm in my sunset years.

Would I have taken an expensive car when I was that age? You dang right I would. But now in middle age I am so grateful that it wasn't an option.
