Old post I know.
While I won't agree or disagree with any of the comments since that god it is still somewhat of a free'er country.
My opinion is that "the clothes do make the man"
They don't have to be expensive either - but my parents taught me you don't have to have expensive high end labels, but clean, pressed, neat and well put together to make a favorable impression.
So what some of these examples say is these folks are somewhat anti-social, and are either ambivalent to what society thinks or them, or are attention seekers trying to stick a thumb in their eye of normal, functioning society.
I've been well off, broke, well off more than a couple of times in my life.
Even when I was scrimping by, and driving cheap cars, they were always clean, vacuumed, waxed and presentable and I never had anyone snicker at me to my face for the car I drove.
Now I'm sure therer any number of reasons for the examples pictures
They are a dirtbag
They're just a dumb kid
They are broke as hell and barely feeding themselves
They are putting all their money toward their medical degree
They'r e recently immigrated and sending alll their money back to thier family
They live in the hood and their other car is a Mercedes
It's just a joke and fun to drive to show people
Sadly, there are too many people in this country that fit into category #1. - Dirtbag
Also, a car like this screams uninsured.
And a little unsafe.
I sort of do favor states that implement a basic inspection.
It keep people from jeaopardizing my, my family, and my hard earned property with their junk and anti social behavior.
But most importantly to me - is personal price in my appearance.
But that's just the narcissist in me!
