[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know where the notion comes from. I think the moral of the story is don’t judge a book by its cover. There are people who would wrap every cyber truck on the lot and be just as sweet and kind. And the polar opposite who don’t appear to not have a dime to their name, can be some of the prickiest, arrogant people. The vehicle they drive doesn’t matter…it could tell a totally different story than what we stereotype it to be. Granted most of the time these stereotypes track, it still helps to see them for who they are.[/quote]

You are implying people who drive beaters are better people. You really need to better understand your own bias and what that says about you. Why is this thought important to you? And what does it say about you that you hold this belief?[/quote]

It’s not about beaters, it’s about buying a decent family car vs buying a $500k Lamborghini.  I’ll judge the Lamborghini buyer as a narcissist show off but that’s only my opinion. [/quote]

Why are you talking in such extremes? Literally no one is suggesting all HNW people are buying Lamborghinis and Ferraris. [/quote]

Not the DP, but I believe that different car choices represent different values.

My father explained it to me this way.  He said that if someone gifted him a Mercedes he would not accept because having that Mercedes represented valuing a name brand over other attributes.  He didn't want to be a Mercedes owner.  None of my friends own Mercedes because I wouldn't choose a friend who would value that name brand.  If that hurts your feelings, I'm sorry to hear that, but what car you choose does indeed say something about you.[/quote]
