Is this a RL brag or beat?

[TurdFerguson]

Bought a new car a few weeks ago (pimped-out Buick Rainier, in case you're curious) and went into DMV/Sec. of St./Dept. of Revenue/eighth circle of hell to transfer plates, pay taxes & the like. When I traded in my old car & bought the new one the dealership was nice enough to factor the estimated taxes into my loan amount & cut me a check (payable to me) for the taxes. Sweet deal, I thought.

The check was for slightly over $1K. I get to the cashier today to pay taxes, and they come to slightly over $800. WTF? Turns out the dealership calculated taxes using the city sales tax rate instead of the state rate. So I now have about $200 more in my checking acct. than I was expecting.

Philosophical query: Is this a brag, because I have $200 more in my pocket than I otherwise would, or a beat, because I'm unnecessarily paying back this $200 + interest as part of the loan?
