He's not taking anything away from anyone else.
How is he selfish?

He can afford to buy it himself.
How is he being spoiled?

You forgot to add the usual $3000 - 4000 markup by your friendly dealer. Of
course, one would think they could not over-price it because an RSX S runs
around 23500-24,000. At 20.5, it would be about what I paid for my 01
Prelude I bought at the end of the year when dealers were trying to get them
off the lot because they were discontinued -- and therefore undesireable.

Who's quote is this? Not mine.

I said: "I will never consider another car without a *good*
nav unit."

Or a car without an electric starter. People did without
these for years.

New features come out. Why select a car without the
feature one wants?

> What he's doing is refusing to admit that he could live without it.

You are confused about the quote.

> He's being a spoiled, selfish brat.

Could you elaborate on why wanting modern features
makes one spoiled or a selfish brat?

If you pull out a map more than 2-3x a week..... then get a Nav unit,
2-3x a day... better get a good one. its just like anything else.
would I get a $150 a month 5000min cell plan if I only wanted it to
call AAA if I break down....no... while if I am working Realestate and
I am on my cell phone for 3hrs a day I would wanna get that plan.
Everything is useful if you use it, nothing is useful if you dont.
