My boss drives a 1993 Toyota pick up truck. But he owns numerous rental properties with no mortgage. My co-worker drives a almost brand new Audi S-8. Car payment plus insurance, almost $1000/month. Still renting an apartment.
I encountered personally a situation in which the auto shop manager said to me "your time cannot be valuable since you drive such an old car". I tell you that auto mechanic, sales people, do judge customers by what you wear, what car you drive, and what house you live in.
