I was getting at on first looks I guage a person on their car,First impression is what we all get one shot at it.A car can say alot about a person

Yeah, a few things:

1. I financed it, and have debt…but can fool people into thinking I’m “wealthy”
2. I’m truely financially stable and paid cash.
3. Parents covered it…I can’t support myself.

I drive a Taurus SHO and a fox body Mustang…doesn’t really scream BALLER status. But at 24 I bought my house and have covered my own bills since I was 18…I have a feeling of wealth based on what I’ve accomplished in my life given the cards I’ve been dealt.
