[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really? You are shocked that people make negative assumptions about people based on their weight?[/quote]

Op here. I’ll use McLean/Tysons as an example for me, because it’s an area I would subjectively describe as wealthier.  I’ve seen plenty of women all sizes, larger, smaller carrying designer bags or shopping in the Galleria and always assumed they had $$$.

I wouldn’t assume someone with Van Cleef (sp?) and a size 14/16/18 was wearing a fake piece of jewelry simply because of their weight.

It shocked me that an assumption like that could be common. It never crossed my mind. I’ve seen trailer parks with Mercedes and BMW’s parked outside and thought they must spend more on their car, less on their home in the same way some people have nice homes but old beat up vehicles. I just never made a connection between weight and inability to afford luxury goods. [/quote]

Luxury cars fall dramatically in value once purchased and they are expensive to repair.  But people like how they drive and their comfortable leather upholstery.  So if you know how to repair cars yourself, you can get good deals on old luxury cars.

Somewhere around me, there once was an old Ferrari.  I looked it up and found I could buy a running one with issues for $17K.  That's because repair parts cost $1,000s if you buy from non-junkyards.[/quote]
