kudos:1 | I have no problems getting my large SUV into my garage. And I've taught my children through good parenting to open the doors carefully so as to not hit any vehicle we are parked next to. |

If you want have status you should buy moto.
And everyone who don't have a bike told you that you are crazy now and suicide. Welcome, crazy is your new status. I have a bike which can run faster that 250km per hour and I have a lot of fun. Car is too boring and slow ) Hove many girls want take photo with your car if you don't have maserati - no one. But if you have a bike and wait for somebody in public place there are girls every time who want take a photo with your bike and boys why ask you how fast is it and how expensive is it and how many cc in it's engine and you can answer with boring face yeeh baby it very fast, yeeh, it very expensive yeeh 200 horsepower... %)

Heh, I have a friend who thinks his Porsche Carrera 4 is a family car because it has a back seat. His kids are minuscule, though, mine are gigantic.
SUV's suck. I can get so much crap into my Odyssey it's sickening. |

said by michieru:I still do I guess it all depends on who you are but I do know employers and people alike judge you by the car you have and by how maintained it is.
I doubt any employer will really care what someone uses to get to the office as long as it starts every work day and gets their employee to the office on time.
Naturally if they have to drive clients around though you want them to not drive a rusty backfiring shitbox though.

Discrimination and key scratching someone's car are illegal but shi* happens.  |

Mullica Hill, NJ | well I have heard that plenty of times about car companies. But I just meant in general. naturally there are always exceptions.
I mean you likely would not want to walk around the Dell building with a Mac Book either.

Naturally if they have to drive clients around though you want them to not drive a rusty backfiring shitbox though. I suppose it can be partly true. I had a headhunter call once looking to fill a job in Connecticut. It was a good paying high-level position and the headhunter said the selected person was expected by the company to look the part, i.e very well dressed and fancy/expensive car.
On the other hand, here where I work, my boss has a relatively older Japanese econobox, so I bought a relatively less expensive car that is less ostentatious as well. I think I'd come off looking like a douche if I bought an expensive car to drive to work.
