I have never owned a car. I do, however, own 7 bicycles... but even with the expensive ones, one bespoke suit beats 1 bike.

I am definitely surprised by these responses. I have a long way to go before my wardrobe is worth more than my new CTS. Worth noting though- I work for a major automaker

Really? Two of the bicycles in my collection could each have gotten me a handsome big name bespoke suit. Not that I have any regrets.
Cars don't interest me. I need one to get from A to B and that's it.

Child > wardrobe

How does your wife feel about the Fit?


She absolutely loves it; bought it almost new in 08 or 09 and it's had nothing other than preventative maintenance done on it. Very reliable. Holds more than any other car we've owned, including a couple of (smaller) SUVs.

With all this talk of Fits and Mini Coopers I'm beginning to wonder if I'm the only one around here who drives a full size pickup.

One of the advantages of being an expat in Indonesia: your own driver, two maids to clean the house, a nanny for each child, a garderner/doorman...

Haha, like Dubai. When my future wife told me she had a maid I thought she was a high roller. Turns out labor is so cheap in the UAE that almost everyone with a decent job has one. I bet the food in Indonesia is better though.
