+1. It's a middle class striver cope. The wealthiest people I know drive nice new cars, have multiple homes in prestigious locations, and send their kids to private school. Period.

They certainly might, but plenty of rich people drive "normal," practical cars like Subaru, Toyota, etc. -- these brands don't detract from your prestige in any meaningful way (the way driving a Nissan might lol). Cars aren't a status symbol for the upper class and haven't been for quite some time.

The parking stickers on your car mean way more than the car itself.

Not at all ridiculous!

I’m a lesbian who just bought a Suburu, and it’s a huge joke about how I survived this long without one, and how I’m finally doing my lesbian duty. Love my new Outback!

No.

Rich? Haha, no. Most of the people I know with them are middle class feds and school teachers. Some boomer blue bloods here and there have them. But if you're in your 30s, 40s or 50s driving a Subaru, that's not you, obviously.

Interesting. We have two Foresters and the lack of height adjustment is why I will not buy one for myself. I am 5’4” and find the seat height too high for my comfort.

I'm 5'3" and a satisfied Subaru driver. Both our Forester and Outback have height adjustment; maybe yours is an older model?

How about on the passenger side?
