jealous of

Hi,

Let assume my dear friend bought a brand new car. How in polite and humorous way express that I'm a bit jealous ?

"I wish to be you ?" - sounds a bit off for me

What in case where I'm really jealous and a guy who bought this car is my nemesis ?

"I am jealous" - this sounds at least silly

Thanks,
Orwe
