Is it a proper question to ask... - Page 3 - Lateral-g Forums

^^ This is a good side point. Don't ask a question about the cost or price just for the sake of asking. That is not cool.

If the question is serious, has merit, and isn't the first question asked, it could be taken seriously and be reasonable to answer, if you choose, of course.

At the end of the day, it's really all personal and individual.

So, how much ya'all pay for your wife's wedding ring?

I guess it depends whether you're proud or embarrassed about the Number! I don't take it as being rude, I just usually BS around it. I lost track of my Number long ago anyways

I don't like the question because it bums me out to think about!

It depends, if there are just looky loo's I will give them standard omg see the marks from giving blood, but if it's someone who's looking to get buried into this love affair, I will talk them through numbers.. Rough numbers will talk never the less

So many people are all about big number. Regardless of the topic, whom ever has the biggest number, feels like the biggest badass. That always make me leery of the persons reason for asking. If you get that guy who thinks he's cool, but knows he could never afford it, he will throw out the "it's not worth that much" pretty fast. The other side of the coin is the guy (or Gal) who is genuinely interested and would probably like to own one at some point. I've had the follow up question of "what makes it worth that much". Fair question. Makes me wonder what they get from other owners they've asked the same questions. Think about it.....whenever you look at cars for sale, a lot of sellers claim they are worth WAY more than they really are. Bragging rights I suppose.

Anyways....I think it comes down to the person who's asking and I agree that someone who is interested will usually have a conversation with you about the car before asking.

Its like a limp one inch contest, you might win but you are all losers.

I and maybe the rest of us just don`t add the recipients on cars.Its too scary.Its just a hobby that we do over time ,and what we can afford.I would where the Professional shops that have done business with.But the work we share with our family and friends.Is no ones business but to those concerned.And if you can`t afford this hobby .You can do something related.Like Photography,and or building model cars.That where I started then worked up from there.
