Guess you can't be a car enthusiast these days? People sure like to judge others and if you happen to be successful, they just love to attack. Strange society. Guess that is what happened when we all have fat bellies. People like to point at others and try to bring them down. It is what it is.
In the area where I live and work BMW andMB are the equivalent of a Chevy. At one time these cars were considered “upper crust” luxury vehicles. Right now if you have the credit and in some cases even if you don’t you can walk in a dealership and buy or lease a 50/70,000 dollar “prestigious” luxury car. And nobody will be the wiser and you can pretend to have money. Anyone today can fake appearance of “rich/wealth”.
As far as driving style in my observation (and I drive a average of 120 miles per day so I get to see a lot of a-holes driving) Mercedes drivers tend to have the “i own the road” attitude. More so than BMW drivers. Ever see imo are what I call the Fast and a Furious crowd. The street racer cool type regardless of make and model.

I see a fair amount of Fast and Furious wannabes. They recklessly drive lowered Civics with a huge spoiler and bottle exhaust. Pretty much the worst of all worlds.
If you drive an expensive car you're probably a jerk, scientists say
Say those who can't afford an expensive car. Sounds like sour grapes.
Di anyone actually read the study I linked to? They call cars valued at $8000 "expensive" and those valued at $5900 "not expensive."
It looks like they did the test on a weekend in a non-affluent section of Las Vegas and no one was driving actual expensive cars on the day of the "study." Heck, looks like no one was driving NEW cars in the study, much less breaking this down by make or model.
It's not sour grapes, though. Just bad science and methodology.
