[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you sure she was raised affluent? IMO, the people who are the most concerned about things like this are the ones who weren't raised wealthy and have something to "prove."[/quote]

Don't have time to read whole thread, but I find the above so true.  At my office some of the nicest and cleanest cars are driven by security personnel and the cleaning crew.  IMHO, they drive way more car than one would expect for their salary.  Meanwhile, lots of executives driving beat up Accords and Camrys.[/quote]

I bet these executives are also wearing dirty underwear. [/quote]

Who wears dirty underwear? What is wrong with you? There is absolutely no correlation between a car with a few dings in it and wearing dirty underwear.

Some of y'all have some weird puritanical ideas about cleanliness. Age and wear and tear are not the same as filth. You can live in a spotless but dated home. You can drive a spotless but beat up car. You can wear nothing but thrift store clothes that are impeccably cleaned. Having expensive, nice, or new things does not mean you have better hygiene. In fact it may mean you have worse? When I was in college and in my 20s, I remember some of my friends from very privileged backgrounds were sometimes the most unhygienic because they were used to having other people cleaning up after them all the time. I had a college roommate whose parents were loaded and who drive a brand new SUV (the only one of us in our suite with a car at all) and she was disgusting -- did not do her own laundry and thus constantly wore dirty clothes, would leave long strands of her hair all over our bathroom, leave plates of food out overnight, etc. She was used to having maid and laundry service, neither of which were available at our college in those days, and had no clue how to take care of her space or body without someone else doing most of the hard work.

Her car was nice, though, and she'd drive us all to her parents' ski cabin on the weekends in the winter -- she wasn't a bad person, actually pretty fun and generous, but not particularly hygienic. We had to teach her a bunch of stuff.

You all just sound ignorant.[/quote]

OP is talking about noticeable dings and dents, not just barely noticeable scratches. OP also doesn't like moms who clean and detail their cars.
If you are talking about minor scratches, that's fine, almost every car has them.

The correlation is that if you don't care about driving a car with dings, dents, scratches,  you probably don't care about being neat and clean, so you are more likely to be ok wearing dirty underwear. [/quote]
