Does the extra attention when driving a new luxury car or SUV get annoying?

Yes, it is annoying because I would get extra attention from homeless/beggers.
When I was driving my corolla back then, they would normally skip me |

Nothing is as bad as a Porche Panamera. I would drive a white car/SUV before I would drive that abomination |

No one would bat an eye at any of these cars in my neighborhood. There are plenty of them parked all around - also plenty of Hondas, Toyotas, etc. I think you are vastly overestimating how much people care about your car. OP. |

I live in a townhouse community where homes are going for $600K or so - I have seen every single one of those cars except an Escalade in our parking lot at some point over the past 10 years. So....not as high end and attention-getting as you seem to thing. |

| I mean, my kid goes to a Title I school and I've seen Teslas in the kiss and ride line. Yes, plural Teslas. Even the one with the fly up doors. |

| Attention grabbing is a reach... but as a few posters said, I'd just feel like such an asshole driving something like a Mercedes Benz G-Wagon or the big Range Rover or a bright blue Porsche Cayenne. Some see driving something like that as "success"... I see it as ostentatious and obnoxious. |

| Range rovers, tesla's etc are everywhere here, so I don't see them as standing out in Fairfax County. What did stand out to me the other day in McLean was the bright orange Lamborghini SUV. Have never seen one so I looked it up online out of curiosity... STARTING price was $218K. Now THAT is a luxury care that I noticed. |

We have or own all of the above.
The only comments I ever got were brand new Ford F150. Every time I got out. LOL I do not care what other people think of the cars I drive. I am 4'10" whatever car I can see out of that has working air conditioning and radio works for me. Depreciating assets. We keep ours forever. |

the funny thing is that there are probably more expensive range rovers that you don't notice |

| No one cares that I just bought a Mercedes except my friends who are happy that I finally spent some money on myself. |

| Where do you live with all this extra attention for a car? In North Arlington, all of them are pretty common. Most of my kid’s friends’ parents have Teslas. |

| Sorry Tesla fan-boi’s, but there’s absolutely nothing special or drool-worthy about your cars. It’s a Tesla. Big deal. |

agreed unless it’s a really clean s model. Otherwise they look like plastic toys. |

I was getting gas the other day and a Ferrari convertible pulled in. We were the only two at the station. I did not say a word, I’m not into cars and would not spend 300k on one.
But I am not going to judge those who do, their money. I drive a humble new q7 and it serves its purpose. |
