[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in a rich enclave in the south (~$3M average home value) and expensive cars are the norm. Cars in the range of $200k+ for the adults and $100k+ for the kids aren’t the average but they are common. No one is driving around in a beater Honda. My husband is in finance and all the guys he works with (old and new money alike) constantly talk about cars and buy new cars.

Oh yeah, well, the South has a big car culture. You have to drive a lot. [/quote]

Plus the South is gaudy, tacky and showy and that includes the wealthy.  We were just down South and I couldn’t believe how many men and women had on cowboy hats in a nice restaurant.  Are they not taught etiquette down there?  [/quote]

Where were you?  I live in Texas and never see this. [/quote]

Same, OP must have been in Oklahoma and didn't know what she was getting into. Texans sometimes dress down, but they aren't wearing their cowboy hats during a fancy meal. [/quote]
