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.

We live in mclean. Our kids attend public school. I would say half the cars are Range Rovers, Teslas, Mercedes, etc. I don’t see as many minivans as DCUM suggests. I drive a 7 passenger SUV. DH has a Porsche 911 in our garage. Our immediate neighborhood has all nice cars. The homes on our block are $2-5m and no one drives an old Honda Odyssey or old beat up Toyota. Maybe some of the housekeepers.

This post says a lot. A lot.

My parents are worth at least $20 million and maybe $50 million (I know their 2 homes are worth a combined $7 million) and my mother drives a Subaru Forester that must be six years old. She loves it because she has never had a problem with it except she jokes that she has never been able to figure out how to change the clock. So she takes it to the dealer, they reset the clock and wash her car and never charge her.

The kind of people that live in vulgar neighborhoods like McLean or Potomac or much of Bethesda will have very expensive cars, for sure. But wealthy people that live in places like Ch Ch or Cleveland Park will often have cheaper/more practical cars.

Two of the biggest assho*** I have met in my life are from Chevy Chase, MD. Both old money, both complete fraudsters and crooks. So, spare me this old money tale and go drive your 1994 Honda.

2016 Camry

But in a couple years I hope to be driving a 12 year old minivan and 14 year old hybrid.

$5M. 2016 Jeep Wrangler and 2017 Volvo SUV.

$2 mn. Honda Odyssey. I don't love it. Too big...

Not really a car person, but I did drive a golf once as a rental, and I have to admit it was a great car to drive. I have heard that they are very expensive to maintain here though.

There are lots of wealthy Subaru owners around here. My FIL used to manage dealerships in NOVA.

$1.2M
2017 Toyota Rav4 (hybrid)

Hope to have it for another decade, and then get a self-driving flying electric car.
