This is a funny thing and very relevant. As Australians we love having others succeed as long as they don't have to see the fruits of that hard work and success. Crazy. This is the main reason why I drive a base model Ranger at the moment and why I had to see what the New Raptor looked like before considering the purchase. Even though farmers are happy to drive $110k plus Cruisers heaven forbid I drive a car that I have given blood, sweat, and tears to afford. Luckily, throw a bullbar, spotties, and aerials on the New Raptor and it doesn't look too different from a Ranger for the untrained eye. I can't wait to get one next year.
My personal thoughts Norm are, fuck the rest of the world. You've worked hard to be where you are. If you want to drive the Porsche to work do it. You're mates will have a giggle and a quick dig. Those who genuinely have a dig obviously don't know you and so their opinion doesn't matter.
