Having nice things is a display of wealth and status, but which nice things a person chooses to have still depends on what they enjoy and how they want to express themselves. Even among car enthusiasts, which sort of car one is enthusiastic about varies a lot. I know a guy who has a luxury SUV which is extremely comfortable. I, on the other hand, had a car which could go around corners really fast. Whenever my passengers bounced around as the car went over a bump, I would tell them "I paid extra for that stiff suspension."
