[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Driving a spotless, freshly-detailed car.
2. Refusing to drive a car with any physical damage, no matter how minor.

[b]Example. We had friends over last night [/b]and the husband was teasing his wife for refusing to drive her SUV until he got it fixed because it had a huge scratch on it. You can tell she was raised in an affluent setting, very hoity-toity. It's not just her though, I remember hearing similar from my well-to-do grandmother about "not being caught dead" in a dirty or damaged car. And in the lineup at my children's private school, the cars are generally sparkling clean with glossy tires, and have no damage.

Where does this come from? Like they have a perception that dirty and/or dinged up cars are seen as low class?[/quote]

Why would you have a damaged car? Accidents, bad driving, etc.

I don't associate having a clean car free of damages with Richness.

A dirty car is just gross. Period. If you have a dirty car, you probably have a dirty home.

I think you need to Pick better friends![/quote]

You don't know that the cars at the private school pick up are sparkling clean. What we can assume is that those cars are newer. With more discretionary income those cars probably do go through a car wash more often than the population with significantly less money. The newer cars look better even if they've been driven through a muddy corn field. [/quote]
