Well said John..
I've always loved seeing vettes.. mercedes.. etc. parked at some shack of a house. Guess they are "somebody" till they get home at least. My car and "status" driving down the road is not the priority in life. And like you, have known a multi-millionair who wore old blue jeans and flannel shirts regularly going about his business, then there was Mr. Flash (millionaire) who was an arrogant a$$. Guess who I had the most respect for. "If" I ever badged my Xfire with AMG.. Mercedes..or whatever it would be to indicate pride in the manufacturer.. Not "look at me and what I'm driving".
