That is a fad...the opposite of quintessential.

Jeep Wranglers are the opposite of a fad.

Maybe we should define UMC.


The UMC people I know drove BMWs until they had kids and now they drive Subarus, Volkswagens or Volvos if they want to be fancy. We know one family with a Tesla but they are an extreme outlier (and might not be UMC, though they would describe themselves that way, of course).

The main thing is that they buy new cars and upgrade them more frequently than a middle class person would.

I brought my son home from the hospital in a 1990 Honda CRX so honestly, anything that runs.
