[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An immaculately kept 15-plus-year-old Mercedes or Audi. One buys nice things, but treats them well so they last a long time. If it doesn't have a CD player (let alone iPod/bluetooth connection), one must deal with it.

Going back to more mainstream [b]unintentional[/b] status symbols:

... Genuine Hunter wellies (olive green, not leopard print or Georgetown Cupcake pink)
... Monogrammed cardstock stationery, and if you use it to thank a neighbor who handed down some old baby clothes to you
... If you google yourself and one of your first hits is your [b]wedding announcement in the New York Times[/b] (no other paper counts)
... Ski or boat rack on your car roof
...High school ring not manufactured by Josten's (i.e., no large fake gem in the middle)

I believe a NYT wedding announcement is the very definition of "intentional status symbol".  [/quote]

Not necessarily. My wedding was in there because I grew up in NYC and that is the paper everyone reads, our version of the hometown Gazette or whatever. [/quote]
