I have a 16-year-old car that just passed inspection and drives like a dream. No junker here. (Lexus.)

My grandfather bought a new car in 1986 when I was born so that they could drive my mom and I safely down to my Dad (long story). I moved in with them for a few months when I was 21. The car was still in mint condition and ran perfectly. It was still in mint condition and running perfectly when they sold it to a HS kid in 2016.

Im talking new car clean= no stains, rips, or fading. It was always parked in a carport when not in use. He vacuumed weekly. He washed the car weekly. Waxed. Clean tires with a brush. Logged mileage and amount of gallons purchased in a little notebook. Did regular repairs. No accidents, any scratches were buffed. It was a primary car for 7 years and then secondary for the next 23.

He was an engineer and AF pilot. He took care of his cars like he took care of his planes.

The book Class says you must be new money, and crass new money at that—old money doesn’t need to flash their car because their house, jewelry, artwork etc does the talking. But then, you obviously have no class.
