I am in total agreement with Mr T and Jason F.
I also work hard for the nice things in life and to provide for my wife and child.
I didn't have a priviliged childhod, and started working on my 13th birthday on the local market stalls. Since then I have never taken any benefits from the state and have progressed up the career ladder through hard work and dedication.
I have a huge amount of stress with my job, and could be sacked tomorrow if my boss feels like it. However by taking these risks I am able to live a decent life.
If working hard and taking risks to earn money to get the finer things in life (such as a flash car) makes me a tosser then so be it.
If the world was full of people like us then it would be a much better place to live - no crime, no violence, no spongers.
However, I personally think you should get the chip off your shoulder, get on with your life and stop berrating others who are trying to better themselves through working hard

This is a bias opinion of course but I don't believe I am a tosspot. However, I do drive a flash car .... the reason being is that I can afford to (sounds pompous but if you can afford to buy steak & Chips you don't live on beans n toast do you!!)

The exception (s) are the ones who worked bloody hard to make something of their lives and deserve to have nice things.
The tosspots are the morons who see a nice car and think "flash bast*rd" and run a key down the side.

I'm like Mr T. I have a DB9 and I certainly don't think I'm a tosser. I am not flash either. I bought the car because I could afford it and I like it - anyway, is an Aston really flash? To me it's just class. Also, my wife drives it far more than I do.
I think the tossers are the boys who drive Imprezas or souped up hot hatches with blacked out windows. Showing off by driving at reckless speeds in built up areas, doing wheelspins when pulling away from traffic lights and making the tyres screech around corners. I couldn't give a f@*k if they wrap their car around a lamppost and just kill themselves and their tossy mates and scabby girlfriends, but they risk the life of everybody around them - people in other cars, pedestrians, kids playing.....
However, unlike Mr T, I wouldn't put M3s in the same class as Astons, Ferraris and Lambos. I put M3s in the same class as Imprezas and hot hatches.

That is a very sweeping statement. It's tarring all owners/drivers of these type of cars with the same brush. My daughter and son-in-law have a sports car, and everyone seems to take this view of them. Until they see their two year old in the back seat!!! Perhaps the toss pots are the ones with the wrong first impressions of others.

Most men are tosspots, with or without a flash car!

I am an exception
As are most of my friends who drive M3s, Lambos are Ferraris
I'm sorry we work hard, make sacrafices and put the balls on the line as young traders in the City so that we can afford a good life, I deeply apologise, just didn't fancy a life on the dole, sponging off the state while I answer questions all day on Yahoo
Charlie 31, may I just point out that M3s cost about 60k new, compared to Imprezas which are about 30k

Whats your definition of a flash car ?
Are you thinking "expensive".
If so, no.

I conclude from your question that you drive a Reliant Robin...I bet it's yellow with black writing.
