I can go out and buy the same golf clubs as Tiger Woods uses, or the same tennis racquet that Rafael Nadal uses, but I'll never be able to use them as well as those two.

Doesn't stop me from enjoying playing the game.
and how deep can you dive with your watch?

it's about jealousy of course

"they can afford a better car than me (and everything else) but at least they can't drive"

isn't that what people call cold comfort?

it's certainly the same emotion that drives people in heaps likse Zafira to undertake the most reckloess moves, in the most inappropriate of circumstances, to get a car length in front

many people just buy the most expensive version of something they want

car/golf club/hi fi etc

they may not want to exploit the quality (perceived or not)

why on earth should they?

One thing though - were you dressed up like Lewis Hamilton in the car, or is it my imagination?
Lol, yes, Lewis is my twin.
