I wasnt suggesting a Honda was cheap. I have one, a Toyota too. I can afford german, but I am practical too.
No offense taken - I was just pointing out how my perspective changed post-BD/D. For my entire life I've been financially conservative, saved large percentage of salary and invested it, drove a car for 10+ years to get the most value out of it (when my friends have newer fancier ones...etc.), but that's not always attractive either. After my ExW moved out I bought a brand new real nice SUV. A bit of a 180 and not that a car is the biggest factor but an example of upgrading a part of life to be more attractive.

I think the short "You too" response to the "have a good Christmas" is fine, but I'm with Dawn70, DnJ, and kml on the no response to "she worries about you" comment. She fired you as H and she shouldn't be your shoulder to lean on emotionally, and you shouldn't be hers. Let her alone with the feelings.
Funny, I just upgraded my suv from a 2001 Honda CR-V, 228,000 miles to a 2019 4Runner Limited. Bit nicer.. I have a couple other cars I own, but are driven by daughters. One old Corvette.. Boy did she hate that car. Might put it in my will to my young daughter so its always around, lol.
