On the one hand, sales are booming. After several very bleak and painful years, most industry accountants have capped off their red pens and are writing almost entirely in black.

Auto technology is booming, too. New powertrains hint at a zippier, greener future, and infotainment advances mean we'll be traveling in comfort, with a greater sense of safety. Heck, in another few decades, our cars may do most of the driving themselves, leaving us to nap, chat with friends, or watch movies on our commute.

Let me get this straight - if you buy a cool car in your 20's and 30's you are being irresponsible with your money; in your 40's and 50's it's a midlife crisis; and beyond that it's wasted.

I think non-car people are just perplexed at the passion so they want to judge us like we are buying some kind of luxury handbag. Outside of Dubai, its JUST about the car and when in our life we are able to afford it.
