I did a job "behind the gates" in a very affluent neighborhood... most of them has old beaters in the driveway of their multi million dollar houses.

I was getting a haircut yesterday and the guy next to me was a big car guy... chatting with the barber about Ferrari's. Maserati's, Lamborghini's, AMG, etc.

He went on to say the very rich don't show off with expensive cars, they want to keep their wealth low key to avoid kidnaping and theft.

Totally unscientific observation on my part... but I usually see a big "L" on the cars driving like jerks in L.A.
