I had a Ford once, but then I got a job.


That's actually not funny. Most people these days equate poverty with
owning American cars.

Hardly. I have several very well-off friends and they all own American
made cars/trucks. (Some of them own foreign cars also.) One of them
owns a custom car that cost him more than a house in Silicon Valley.

I own a Jeep, and I don't equate it with poverty, although I do equate
it with thrift.

Equate is one thing but the truth is another. I knew a guy who sold
BMWs for a living. I asked him how there could be so many people
driving them when we all know what the medium income is in the US. He
told me you wouldn't believe what people give up to drive a certain
car. He saw their credit apps.

Well....that's sadly true. For years Caddy has sold more cars to people
who couldn't afford them than anyone else. Most wealthy people I know
buy an Acura and drive it for a long long time.

that's just plain dumb. Like bobspit.

Equating what you own/drive to who you are is so childish. Like
bobspit.

Bragging about your posesions is very, very childish. Like
bobspit.

I'm seeing a pattern here.
