Just paying for a name.....

[lofty55]

My dad is a Honda Shadow man.  I prefer his reasoning.  "Why spend the extra.  It goes point A to point B just as fast, but I have more cash in my wallet!"  So....he buys lunch.  I mean, he is my dad, and.....I do like to eat.

HAHA, sounds like a wise man.

As to bobspapa's political reference, I'm not sure what that has to do with anything.

whenever I hear similar, and I have from non-potential-head-injury people, i ask them how many WSBK championships their marquee has won.

If they can't answer, I tell them, and then I tell them to shut their pie holes.

If you're just paying for a name in that guys opinion he should be driving a tata car, wearing no name walmart clothes, and always eating the cheapest store brand foods because anything nicer would just be paying for a name too.

Most people reach a point in their lives where they feel like spending a certain amount for better quality items that will last longer, provide more long term value, and make them happy. 

No need to be bothered by him, he's just not intelligent enough to consciously understand that everyones perceived value, and vision of of meeting a need is different.
