When I was at EA, me and Eddie once had a debate about why I thought Aston Martin's were cool. Now neither of us could really afford one of those, it was more of an academic debate, with him arguing that mass produced cars were more likely to be safer and have better designed engines. I am not completely sure why it came to be, maybe there was some new stuff about the DBS V12 on Digg, maybe it was a result of one of the people in a neighboring cube acquiring a Porsche and commenting about not liking the stick shift. The problem is this is not a new thing, I seem to like frivolous expensive thing which have no obvious reason for being liked by me, and I will sometimes passionately defend the people who would spend money on this. Of course some of this comes from having a father who read and commented on all manners of well made watches, cars and cameras, and often actually acquired a few 
. Really this is not a critique of him doing so, they are all kinds of cool things which have been at our home because of this.
I have been looking for a good reference to point people I argue with to, mostly because I do this a lot, and do it on both sides of the world (partially retro mostly mechanical things are weird, though friends in India are more likely to agree about really expensive cars). Well I think this pretty accurately reflects my feelings on liking weirdly expensive things.
Now back to work.
