Save Money On Sandwiches, Buy Nice Car

I was driving to Target this weekend when I noticed a car pull up next to me.  I didn't recognize the emblem, but it looked expensive, so I followed it.  I was curious, so when he pulled into a spot, I pulled into the one across from him.  He got out with a young woman (daughter, not date) and went into Quiznos. 

Nothing unusual about that, right?  A normal activity, going for a bite to eat.  Except for the fact that the guy was driving this:

A TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR car.

I know he has to eat, and I know one needs a car to drive to get to a place to eat, but what the hell does this guy do for a living, in MY neighborhood, that affords him the luxury of driving a car that costs as much a house, to have a sandwich?

It just seems a little extravagant.  I'm not saying I wouldn't be driving this car to a restaurant if I owned it.  Hell, I would be driving it everywhere.  But I can't even imagine having a car that costs so much.  And two hundred grand is just the starting price, it goes up from there.

I wonder what he did after he was done with his sandwich?

Probably checked out the latest happenings in the world of the Richie Riches.

That's what I'd be doing.

Maybe it was rented,wanted to impress daughter he doesn't see much, which would explain Quiznos.Or he is a secret agent, they drive Jaguar and Astin Martin's or i could guess forever.Fantastic car though.
