Re: Super rich may avoid super expensive cars due to bad image.

But doesn't spending more money help the economy more?

Rich people don't all go out and buy Lamborghini's and Ferrari's a large number of them will buy just a Mercedes S class and not one thats fully loaded. Hell I go into rich areas and see POSs parked in their driveway..........
I actually don't see many S classes. i see more Maybachs than I see those. Though the most popular vehicle seems to be Escalade and Lexus LS.

Rent collectin' could get interesting.
The US is dumping the H1 I just read. By 2010-12 we'll have something made by Oshkosh I think.

Go figure, from a jeep to an Humvee to an Oshkosh truck.

OH, the rich (including lawyers) are the biggest purchasers of licensed machine guns and other class III weapons I was once told.
