I'm 19 too. Never got any bad attention from older people but that might just be the area that i live around. However I have heard the "must be nice too have rich parents" comment quite a few times from people my age, not in a nice way either.

yeah i heard the "must be nice too have rich parents" almost everytime but mostly in a nice manner. i'm grateful that they're not mean to me lol

"Do People Judge You By Your Car's Appearance? "

Of course they do!!!

They look at my car and on me and say "How Bravo!! You drive a Z!!"

i remember there's a scene from some movie where the attractive woman tells the man: "you can tell a lot about a person by the kind of watch that he wears." she didn't say anything about car

Judging someone based on the car they drive is really really ignorant.

For one, it's a really ignorant way to determine how much money a person makes.

I know a lot of doctors who make 250K + who drive Toyota Corollas, Honda Civics/ Accords, etc. Why? Just because a person makes a lot of money it doesn't mean they're worried about what others think of them. Many people who can afford 100K+ cars don't spend much of their money on automobiles.

On the other side of the coin there is no shortage of people whom drive cars they really can't afford, can only afford because mommy/ daddy paid 1/2, bought the car used, can barely afford despite having very little in other expenses and so on.

So yeah only extremely naive/ ignorant people judge a persona income based on what car they happen to drive. But I suppose if you're talking strictly based on the type of automobile (coupe, sedan, truck, van, convertible, etc) you might be able to assume but assumptions are often 100% wrong.

I never assume ANYTHING based solely on the car a person drives and neither do most adults I would assume unless they're extremely naive and or ignorant.

I buy cars based on what "I" prefer NOT on how I think others will perceive me. Because one, that's a terrible way to decide on a car. Two, people who judge you based on your car are morons anyway.

I get this more times than I would like. Seems most people think this car is driven by business professional type people around here, not sure why, but they do.

I went to pick up a pizza at a local place and I guess when I pulled up the guy behind the counter was in the back doing something (I parked a little further away even though the place was dead. It was just my car and couple normal civics and corollas and whatnot). Walked in and was told it would be a few minutes.

Sat near the counter and started looking on my phone to kill time. I had a subaru shirt on at the time (have a few left over from my old car) and the guy behind the counter was talking cars with someone in the back. He said something to the effect "Damn, the black Z out front looks awesome, but I bet you some d-bag rich guy in a suit steps into it (pizza place is next to a few stores)." I just kind of sit there laughing to myself a bit.

Pizza was ready and I was paying he noticed my shirt and tried to talk about subarus to me and wanted to see my car. I simply just said "I guess I'm the rich dbag in a suit that's going to step into his black Z over there". Kid looked genuinely shocked. He said he didn't mean to offend with what he said but usually "you don't see someone like you driving a car like that. A beat up subaru covered in dirt I could see, but not a clean Z". I said "Thanks? I guess??" and went to my car and drove away. Ef eating at that place with those scumbags again.

For the record I did look a bit scrubby that day. 6ft tall 29 year old that looks younger. Long black hair (not brushed really, just woke up) in a black subaru shirt with gray cargo shorts and flip flops.

I wish I could say this is the first time someone was surprised at the car I drive. Even friends that know that I do pretty well for myself.
