[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you literally posted two cars that for me are the definition of "not being a car person." Those cars are garbage[/quote]

DP, but I think that's the point. They're boring SUVs with terrible driving dynamics that the nouveau riche think are inconspicuous, but are very strong signals of their socioeconomic status. Just because they're not Bentleys or bright yellow Lamborghinis doesn't mean that they can claim that they're above conspicuous consumption.[/quote]

Is that what saying "not a car person" means? I think it means that you don't care about stuff like driving dynamics. I know basically nothing about either of those cars so they don't signal anything to me (one is a Tesla so I'd guess expensive), but if someone said they weren't a car person I'd assume they meant "my cars are boring and functional" not "my cars are cheap." My cousin the mechanic buys cheap cars, but he cares a lot about driving dynamics and is very much a car person.[/quote]
