[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To me, no. There are LOTS of wealthy people who do tacky things - monogram things, [b]drive needlessly big/expensive cars for an image[/b], wear things with prominent logos, get fillers and other weird bodily changes, etc. [/quote] Respectfully, this is a classic case of middle class seething. Driving a big new SUV is not tacky. It is utility. You have kids, probably also a dog, car pool the kids' friends and teammates, take road trips to a vacation home and travel sports events, and because you can AFFORD IT. Plus the tax advantages of driving a big new vehicle with a certain curb weight, which you'd know if you were actually in their tax bracket. Your crummy RAV4 or Accord is not enough space for a large family, a dog, and your kids' friends.[/quote]
