When we moralize about how "expensive car = bad" (no matter the context) we take the "personal" out of "personal finance."

Some people are gearheads, just because you aren't doesn't mean you should moralize the preference of others.

Are most people who purchase expensive cars gearheads? I would wager they're not. In which case I have every right to moralize about their poor choices.

The existence of outliers doesn't prove a rule wrong.
