I can't fathom how any grown man looks at someone's vehicle as an indicator of success. Are you a complete idiot or are your life experiences simply so limited that you can't think beyond your own little world? I have met a number of people with an annual income of 6 and even 7 figures that drive beaters - some because they are simply very frugal and others because it is one of their vehicles. For example, I had a neurosurgeon show up in a 1980s F150, which he uses to haul equipment. On the flip side, there are many, many people driving vehicles they can't afford. These are likely people like you idiots that see the vehicle as a measure of success and want to convey the image to people that they have more money than they do. You can throw a rock in just about any urban neighborhood and hit a car that the owner can't afford. At the extreme end, I have even met a handful people in $200k cars that live in $100K houses. This shit means nothing.
