Most people need the use of a car. I don't think spending $20K on a car for an average person/household is indulgent (whether they can afford it or not is another matter).

Spending $100K on a car, regardless of income, is indulgent in my opinion. If I were making $10M/year, I hope I would be able to stop myself from spending money in such a way.

If I were making that much money, would I satisfy more wants in my life than I currently do? I'm sure I would. But I like to think I would not make extravagant, wasteful purchases.
