hi teahead & kenm
If I have not mentioned it before I live in England where things aren't always as they should be.
The sort of car that a small business owner should have in Britain (as seen by the amount that they sell) would be a top of the range BMW 3 series that if equipped to the same level of Arnie would cost about £36500, which is £9000 (or about $16000) more than Arnie. If not a top 3 series, then mabye a mid range 5 series would seem to be OK. This would come in about £37000, which is £9500 (or about $16600) more than Arnie.
But both of these cars would be seen as being acceptable, whereas because people think I've now got a Bentley, some folk think that i am "better than I really are". The worst thing is, when they found out more about the car they are instantly placated.
Please don't get me wrong about the car, it is fantastic.. it is just that I have seen another side to human nature that I have never experienced before.
Kenm, my employees love the car and are pleased that i have got it. They know the hours that i put in and the sacrafices that I do for the company and the help that I freely give them when they need it.
ahh, I'm feeling better already.

ok a joke to make you smile that i've just had sent to me.
Charlie walks into his bedroom witha sheep under his arm and says
"Darling, this is the pig I have sex with when you have a headache"
His girlfriend is lying in bed and replies,
"I think that you'll find that thats a sheep, you idiot"
Charlie replies,
"I think you'll find I wasn't talking to you".
