Those are pretty rare examples of hitting a stereotype. Most big law partners I know drive boring cars --- subarus and mid-grade SUVs.


Drive around McLean or Bethesda up Elm street going out of downtown some time. Some rich people in these places are driving BMWs Range Rovers Mercedes and Porsche. I’ve not seen a high end new construction home without a fancy car. In fact every doctor I can think of I’ve over known drives a Mercedes or Porsche.


True. That's the reality in the real world, not the dcum fiction.

I think these are old stereotypes (at least for doctors). I'm a physician ($450k income) and have a 2010 Toyota, over 1/2 the cars in the attending physician parking spots are similar. Granted there are tesla, BMW, audi, Mercedes but a lot of modest cars. The CMO drives a prius and the CEO drives a Honda.



$450K in DMV area is poor

Who cares if they are leased or not? Some people don’t want to deal with the hassle of trade in every few years when the warranty is over. They still cost $1000-$1500 a month.

2017 Audi A4 and 2016 Honda CRV

Never saw myself driving a German luxury brand. Cars were basically an appliance to me, just give me reliability and safety. I had a Lexus RX years ago and was meh, I preferred the CRV.

But then I rented a Silvercar Audi A4 on a trip. I fell in love. Couldn't stop thinking about it after getting back. That car is such a great experience to drive. I drove every competitor in its space before buying it, nothing else even slightly interested me. Tried the Q3 and Q5, even tried a Porsche Macan because I'd rather just have a SUV. I'm not a sedan person, or so I thought. Nope, nothing else had the pep of that car combined with the comfort.


Is there a reason you didn’t buy the A5 sportback instead of the A4?

I’m not talking about stereotypes. I’m taking about people I know and places I’ve personally observed. The driveways in neighborhoods and office car parks don’t lie.


I don’t doubt it. I think this board attracts frugal types.

Over $20 and we have four cars because of two homes 1500 miles apart. Two 5-7 year old Subaru SUV’s and two nice used cars for my husband. He buys cars coming off three years leases and gets really good deals. My cars are always full of stuff/junk and I just want something simple and reliable. My husband likes nice cars but he’d rather let someone else pay for the depreciation. We have plenty of things we spend a lot of money on!
