[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you even read the millionaire next door? Most drive honda's. The poorest people I know drive "nicer" cars, the multimillionaires myself included drive honda's, toyota's, nissan's. Poorer people tend to fake the funk and think that they're fooling people.

Oy vey. Nothing screams midwit prole Dave Ramsay listener like citing a conman’s book.[/quote]

Midwit prole. Loving the parochial snobbishness. Dcurbanmom, where the moms and dads cosplay David Brooks in his desperate Bobos in Paradise years. FYI, statistically speaking most of the millionaires in this country over 50 drive F150s, new money tech millionaires drive hondas, new money tech billionaires have someone else drive them.[/quote]

People who know anything about cars know that an F150 with all the trappings will run you $75k-$100k.  The folks where these trucks are prevalent know this.

This is why the thread is strange.  New money tech millionaires also aren’t driving Hondas…they are driving Rivians (Tesla has definitely fallen out of favor) or similar $75k+ electric cars…or if living and working in SF proper may not own a car at all.

I honestly don’t know anyone who thinks BMW or Audi or Mercedes is an overall luxury brand since they sell many models cheaper than the cars above…though they do have certain models well over $100k.[/quote]

And there are people driving those loaded F150s who don’t even make that much in a year. It tells you nothing. [/quote]

Correct, but my point is that my kid at an academic southern private college has a bunch of wealthy friends who drive souped-up pickups (F150s et al).  It’s what the kids wanted and they still probably cost nearly $100k…but their parents would have bought them any car /truck they wanted at the same price.

Nobody was making any statement with the purchase.[/quote]
