GF: You spent how much on a gas cap?!

I'm standing my ground.
Hood ornament...yes, to whatever degree you extravagant playboys desire! Actually, I'm jealous.
Designer gas cap under a fuel door?
Oh...super ride, OP.
 
Great car like that deserves something better than a plastic cap.
It's still a plastic cap, it just looks aluminum.
Capture.webp

The best way I read someone describe it... is that it's like how women buy very fancy and pretty underwear. Very few or only 1 other person will see it but it's not for anyone else, it's about how it makes them feel and the experience of it for them.

For a man, it's similar to a very finely made Swiss, German, or Japanese mechanical watch. Almost nobody will see the ridiculously finely hand detailed movement... but you know it's there and if it has a see through case back, a very limited number of people will able to view how well made it is... a point of pride and enjoyment that I have something so very well made and thought through on my wrist.

Part of the enjoyment of driving a very fine machine at the limit is that the machine I'm trusting, has a billion beautiful parts working in perfect unison spinning at 7,000 rpm that I can't even see that very smart people put together the best they can at a price I can afford. Just because I can't see it doesn't mean I want a cheap part that is just functional. I admit, it's an emotional thing.. but so are the best things in life. Hope that makes sense, had a couple of IPAs.

A guy walks into the Porsche dealership and says, "I'd like a new gas cap for my Porsche." The salesman replies, "That sounds like a fair trade." This is a modified Yugo joke.
