My buddy said "yeah, it's a base C6 Corvette a year old what did you pay.... ~$40's?" I said "spot on" then he reminded her his Ford F250 diesel was about that, then she turned around and said "You paid what for that truck?' lol
and he said yeah, diesel trucks are expensive.

This is the absolute spot-on conversation I've had 30+ times with my Exige since buying it in 2009, as the car appeared then, and still appears to this day to be much more expensive than it actually was/is.
