So, I pulled up to the daycare today and parked behind a Kia Sorrento.  The thing is, I know that this mother has a high paying job.  I also know our daycare is not cheap, but rather expensive.  It made me think about this thread and the silly and incorrect judgmental twits who actually make assumptions about people based on their cars.[/quote]

It seems odd to me that during discussions about money on DCUM, many people will make the point that really wealthy people often drive less ostentatious cars.  During those discussions, their choice of low-end cars is pitched as a positive trait, because it shows how they are careful with money and unconcerned with shallow appearances.  If we heard that a member of the Buffett, Walton, or Gates family was driving a Kia, we'd be impressed about how they're smart enough not to follow the herd.  But by contrast, many people here are jumping all over OP to criticize her car choice.  Why the double standard?

Yeah, I know ... she's probably not a Buffett, Walton, or Gates.  But why are we impressed when the wealthy make careful car choices, but we sneer when others do the same thing?[/quote]
