Let everybody buy the kind of car they can afford or even if they cannot afford it. It is none of mine or anybodys business. They bought the car they like. Should ask around the community before buying a car ? Why do we have to be judgmental about them being show off. Why would a show off come to the masjid, Anybody comes to masjid is a namazi not a show off.
I appreciate your views and concerns, and I think it's great that you took the time to post here. Same goes for TeenDabbyWala **and **X2. I typically agree with most of your posts and stances.
At the same time, Mirch being a "namazi" and being a show off are not mutually exclusive. And IMO, just attending Masjid does not necessarily make one a namazi, but then again, thats another thread for another time.
As far as judging people and getting into anyones business, we can't necessarily follow that rhetoric on these forums, can we? Gupshup is filled with healthy debate on everyone's personal opinions and feelings. Judgments, opinions, points of views - this is how the world goes round.
Moreover, I happen to think that people buy expensive cars as status symbols. I'm not sure why anyone would find the need to negate that... If I took a Mercedes CL and put a big H for Honda on it, very few would pay 100k+ for it. And without a doubt, the more expensive car comes with better quality, better handling, and better performance, but those are probably not the primary motivations for buying a designer car.
Furthermore, there was never any conversation about the means of those who can buy these cars. Not sure where you ever got that from, Mirch. Although, I think we would all agree that no one should be over extending themselves to buy a car that they can't afford..
