Really? Your neighbor did that? You guys are obviously very close and your wives must be best friends.

Yeah...kind of silly behavior if you ask me...he's generally a pretty good guy - but with stuff like that he always tends to be negative or find fault...unfortunately he's raised his kids with the same attitude...when I showed him and his ten year old daugher my new 535i last December...her comment was - big deal it looks like a Toyota...and dad stood right there and didn't say anything. I hold to the motto - if you can't say anything nice or be happy for another's good fortune - just shut it and keep it to yourself
