I've been to other areas of the country where people have money but you'd never know it by looking at their vehicles. It seems people here may put more emphasis on their vehicles. Agree?

Safe vehicles are necessary. Have you seen how these people drive here?

The wealthiest people I know in La do not drive flashy, expensive cars. They’re all pretty down to earth people. They also got wealthy by being wise with their money — not blowing it on things that depreciate like cars.

Truly wealthy people don’t give a shite about depreciating vehicles. They wipe their asses with car notes.

I once met a guy who divided his time between LA & L.A. He owned a Ferrari and it happened to be in LA but he said he was taking it back to L.A. b/c LA roads were so bad and could damage the car.

I don't know about all of South Louisiana, but when I drive through the hood in Baton Rouge near LSU (trying to avoid traffic and not doing hoodrat shite), I have noticed that many residents of those neighborhoods seem to have cars that might actually be worth more than their run-down houses.

Those people in the hood get put together by dealerships. They’re financed at 18-22% or higher just so they can be seen in a new Camaro or used Escalade with over 100K in mileage.

Definitely true if you go up Plank toward Clinton.

Numerous trailers with a Camaro, Corvette, or other pricy car out in front.

In the midwest and pacific Northwest a lot more emphsis is placed on having a vehicle that will keep you alive in the winter.
