@Kat felt out of place:

“Try a 1999 Honda Ballade. I always feel out of place, but again, it's good anyway.”

@Bhov'odla amasalad😎 Sibisi explained:

“I used to drive a Mazda 323 2.0 Dohc, and I would park in front of BMW f30s, Audi s3 and a Golf 7.5 without fear or being ashamed. As long as you are happy with it, never seek validation from people.”
