Re: I was lied to tonight,but kept my mouth shut
 

My question exactly! Why would it make any difference whether they owned it or whether it was a rental? Who really cares????

Re: I was lied to tonight,but kept my mouth shut
 

Who says he was lying just because he had a rental car keychain? I have a lot of keychains that have nothing to do with how I obtained my vehicle! LOL!

Re: I was lied to tonight,but kept my mouth shut
 

I think the whole thing is going to end up having been the truth.

Re: I was lied to tonight,but kept my mouth shut
 

IDK, but my thinking would be, if I am going to buy a Cadillac -AND If I did not want anyone to think it was a rental--the first thing to do would be GET RID OF THE KEY CHAIN!!! :lol

Re: I was lied to tonight,but kept my mouth shut
 

Or, on the transverse, if I were to buy a Cadillac but couldn't care less if anyone thought it was a rental then I might use the keychain that came free with the car.

:)

Alrighty then.....:kickcan

Re: I was lied to tonight,but kept my mouth shut
 

But what you just said doesn't make much sense-

Because if you buy the Cadillac in the first place for image purposes you wouldn't keep the key chain.

I guess that is point that I was making :groan

Re: I was lied to tonight,but kept my mouth shut
 

Yes ma'am... I caught the point.

I was just offering the transverse.

One wouldn't necessarily buy a Cadillac for status although some/many very well might.

I would not prefer a Cadillac. I prefer the Lincoln Town Car and I like that car for its comfort, smooth ride and the track record of performance that I have experienced with that vehicle.

One day I would like to find a good used Mercedes to buy as well. Not for status but for the safety record of the vehicle as well as the nice ride that I would expect.

I have never driven one but should actual experience meet up with my expectations then I would see a good used Mercedes as a wise choice as long as there is a good maintenance record with it.

These vehicles can, indeed, be bought for status purposes but this is not always the case.

Re: I was lied to tonight,but kept my mouth shut
 

Who says the keychain came w/ the car ... what if someone just likes the Enterprise keychain look?

Re: I was lied to tonight,but kept my mouth shut
 

Well I certainly agree people (or individuals) buy cars for the purpose of driving them and if they prefer to drive a luxury car it may not be for image sake but for a comfortable ride.

But if a church buys a Cadillac, umm makes me think they bought it for image sake--but that is my view. I understand that there are churches that send limousines to pick up their guest speakers. I believe it is all about image, and the image being perhaps, is that they believe God's people deserve the best- ( I am not saying that this is my view, but that of some ministries)

If a ministry does not espouse to that view (I am not saying it's right or wrong) why buy a Cadillac? Why not buy a van?? My husband and I have been escorted in Vans -- IDK.

Oh well makes for interesting dialog, and I am all about interesting dialog on AFF--(love it :thumbsup)
