You can keep repeating that word as many times as you like, but that's not going to help the fact that the various nations in the world will have different ideas of what an "average" car is. Or a "nice" outfit and an "expensive" dinner, for that matter.

So no, this doesn't tell as much about the world as you think it might.

Exactly how much about the world do you think this tells me? Nothing.
I could honestly care less what people post here, it's not like it actually matters. It's supposed to be quick and fun. It's a game.

I understand the terms are relative, and part of the thread is determining what nations think is "average," "nice" and "expensive."
I'm looking for ballpark estimates, not down-to-the-nickel prices.
