[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The humble millionaire next door seems like nonsense to me; rich people are not driving 25 year old Volvo station wagons. And everyone with a nice new luxury car obviously isn't broke and overextended. I'm currently in a swank town and every car is a new Range Rover, Porsche crossover, Tesla, or Audi-BMW-Mercedes (they all look alike). The worst car I see are new Chevrolet Tahoes, which are like 80 grand. If that humble old money thing ever existed, it certainly doesn't anymore.[/quote]

I would kill for a 25 year old Volvo station wagon.

Rich folks can afford anything. But the car manufacturers all produce indistinguishable crap today. If you have a decent vehicle now, there is zero reason to buy something new today. And don't even get me started on the people that choose Range Rovers or Jeeps. [/quote]

You’re so full of crap. Nobody rich is driving an out of warranty piece of junk with gen 1 airbags that probably don’t even work. Rich value safety and their time.[/quote]

You sound like you don't read much.  As of 2026, Warren Buffett drives a 2014 Cadillac XTS. Known for his frugality, the 94-year-old billionaire rarely drives—only about 3,500 miles a year—and prefers to keep his cars for a long time, often viewing them as utility items rather than status symbols.

Warren Buffet is cool.   If we had more people like that, guys who give their excess money to charities instead of hanging on to every penny as if they’re taking it with them, this country might even close the income gap that’s currently eroding our democracy.  [/quote]
