Hmmm, never tried ice-cream and beer together. We could be on to the next big thing.

IMHO the car you drive should reflect your economic status.
It's fine for a middle-income person to drive a Ford Fusion but if someone is in the upper-income bracket, a Lincoln is more appropriate. It's not showing off - if you can afford something nicer, why not?

Well then ... I drive Cadillac Escalade
I like the BIG SUV
I had a GMC Suburban before that
I had a Chevy Suburban Silverado before that
People always ask me if my Escalade is new ... because I'm a detail freak .. I love cars
I believe you should show respect to your car and to another mans car
Their jaw drops when I say ....
You mean my Caddy ?
It's 2007
That thing is 11 years old
Just turned 100,000 miles
My Wife truck is 2002 Lariat 4 door
120,000 miles
YES ... she drives the Blue Oval :O
YES ... I drive the Bowtie 
She listens to Country ... ( which I can NOT stomach )
I listen to Classic Rock ... ( Which she can NOT stomach )
Opposites attract . & We balance each other
I drive what I like ... I drive for me B-)
I can't control what people think ... they're going to think what ever it is they think .... so there
Truth be known ... If I made more money :O
... I'd probably LIKE something else :-/
... Never say Never ... 😉
Right ?

Barry, I have no problem with your rational as long as the car bought isn't purchased to flaunt the fact that you make more money than someone else and you have to brag to people with the car you drive to prove it.
i mean no disrespect intended to anyone who buys the fanciest car (or house, or anything), but I'm only trying to say that I've known and dealt with people over the years who use those things to insinuate they are better than others. And that is when I have the issue with it.
If you drive an elite car and you're just an average Joe who is the salt of the earth good guy, I love ya!
But some of the people I've known, which also includes some family members, have used their cars, home, and other material things as a means of rubbing it in the face of others by actually saying, "Look at me, I drive this or have that and you don't".
And truth be told, I'd as much run over those kind of people than respect them.
Personally, I don't give a rats behind what anyone drives, and I'm happy for them if they have nice things. But just don't wave it front of me as if it were a badge of honor and you are better than me or anyone else.

It was a great road car making weekends between Camp Lejuene and Cleveland - except when it rained - car oversteered on wet pavement.
