I never called anybody who does this "a bad guy" or that the act is "wrong". I simply find it indulgent.

Not disagreeing, but again, I think what constitutes "large amounts" or "indulgence" is subjective and largely dependent on one's income.
If you earn $10 million/year, can it really be said to be overly indulgent to spend 1% of your income on a car when my next car will probably cost 15% of my income? Who is indulging themselves more?
