I saw a post where someone responded to the question "why do you park your shitbox or normal car next to expensive/unique looking cars" and someone responded that it makes it easier to remember where they parked if they use your car as a marker. The "shiny blue red badge civic" is a lot easier...

As long as it doesn't break "your bank" and stress you out on the payments, I say go for it if you can get a MSRP deal with a low interest rate.
All these people saying just buy a house bro are kind of not living in...
