“Yeah, I just bought a house”
“I went car shopping today!”
“Nancy got a new Benz!”

The past few months have been exciting. Half dozen of my friends made house purchases; Sam got himself a brand new BMW 330, few days later, Jason upgraded his ride to a plush 2000 Mercedes-Benz S430 and immediately pimped it further with a nice set of rims and HID headlights. Tonight, Nancy announced that she just went out and bought herself a shiny new Mercedes C320!

Wait! The frenzy didn't end here... In the next month or so, Sam will be getting another new car (the Beamer is for his sister Ally, and Sam is considering the TL!! We'll be twins!), and the freshly returned Lydia will have to get a new car as well...

What is going on here??
