Its just easier to justify and understand spending extra money for a needlessy expensive car than it is for spending money on a needlessly expensive watch. This is why no one calls someones judgement into question when they purchase an expensive car. Also, uh, this is a car forum. Im sure the exact opposite holds true on some watch forums; people clueless as to why anyone would spend $60k+ on a car.
A $15k car gets you from point A to point B the same as a $250k Ferrari. Nice watches appreciate in value opposed to cars that drastically depreciate. If you don't "get it" - fine, stay out of the thread.
