Young guy, filthy rich or just upper middle class, is visiting his uncle in his brand new super duper Tiberia X5. (Tiberia is a fictional car brand made up by me.)
He stops in front of the porch, uncle (also upper middle class) comes out from the house.
Nephew: Hello uncle. Long time no see.
Uncle (looks at the car): A Tiberia X5. Nice !
Nephew: I bet it's better than what you have.
Uncle: I don't think so.
Nephew: Does your car have <super cool feature 1> ?
Uncle: Yes it does.
Nephew: Really ? Does it also have <super cool feature 2> ?
Uncle: Yes it does !
Nephew (increasingly incredulous): Really ?? Does it have <super cool feature 3> too ?
Uncle: It most definitely does.
Nephew: <expletive covered by beep> What car do you have ?
Uncle: A Tiberia X5, of course !
Moment of silence, then they both laugh and go into the house.
