[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still don’t get the beard thing. And it’s a DCUM trope that rich people drive no name cars. Every doctor and nearly every successful lawyer I know drive a BMW, Mercedes, or Lexus. Don’t know if it’s a hipster thing. [/quote]

In places like DC where every other car is a luxury brand, yes.  But in other parts of the country, people do not flaunt their wealth and there is less competition to keep up appearances.

I think the myth started when The Millionaire Next Door referenced a survey where the majority of wealthy people at that time drove Jeep Grand Cherokees.  I've also heard in separate studies that the most popular car for people worth over X amount is the Ford F150.  Which makes sense because of the number of small business owners of blue collar businesses like construction, etc.

I am in a larger midwestern city and despite the wealth, you rarely see Lexus, BMW, Mercedes.  It's refreshing to see the understated wealth.[/quote]

Is it refreshing to see understated  wealth because your fragile ego can't take it or is it because it has any beneficial societal value ? Hmm[/quote]

Huh?  Go away.  It's refreshing to see people being authentic and modest.[/quote]
