    There are too many reasons to drive an older shitty car. I don't pinpoint one reason, usually I give them a look and make my assumptions from there.

    First off, I didn't read any replies.

    I think of a few things when I see someone in a beater car. There's a number of different scenarios but it ultimately comes down to the type of person they appear to be and how they carry themselves.

    They could be driving it to save money because it could be great on gas and run flawlessly.

    They could be irresponsible and not take care of their car and it's now beat up and ratty because of it.

    They cannot afford anything better so they make due with what they have.

    I don't look down on anyone that drives a beat up car. I've known several people to be pretty well off and they drive Honda Accords. Heck, a lot of Corvette owners drive $10,000 beater cars as daily drivers.

    There's a guy on a Corvette forum who owns a Viper, Lamborghini Gallardo, Twin Turbo Z06, and drives a stock Z06 for a daily driver that has 100,000+ miles on it, lol.

    On the same token, when I used to work at the bank, I'd see people in $80,000 cars who would constantly overdraft their accounts.

    You just can't ever really tell with someone until you talk to them and get a feel for who they really are.

    BMW 745's are one of the top lease vehicles in this country... have a 700 to 900 car note on one car and live in the hood.


    Honestly, Dont let cars or other material things full you... all RICH or MILLIONAIRES have there hobbies.... They have there Hobbies.. we may just not know..

    I work for a BILLION dollar company, The owner has a 99 or so accord and a 90 something 3 series BMW.... His company, is in the billions... Hes daughter who also works for the company drives a New beetle.

    The owner of Racetrac Is in to boats and shit... I wouldve never known that shit if I wouldve never talk with him.. He loves boats dude has over $300 Million in boats.. When I asked him that, He simply laughed at me and said.. " I LOVE THE SEA YOUNG MAN "

    WTF !!


    You guys know Clark Howard, Another rich Guy... He Daily drives a XB and has a Pathfinder and 2 Jags... Ok.. Not to flashy..
    But he loves to travel... That guys spends more in traveling in one year then most make in one year...

    There is very little conservative rich people.. Some just like to spend it on other things we may not care for... Shit, some gamble, crack, hoes,.. who knows..


    And If I see someone driving a shitty car... I honestly really think nothing off it..

    I used to drive around in DD that were shit.. and then, I just got tired of that.. AC was missed lol
