I also don't understand people buying cars based off of how others perceive them. If my boss doesn't want to give me a raise because he thinks I make enough because I'm driving a Camaro, which "looks expensive", then I'd really question his code of ethics. Your worth should not be based upon what you have in terms of material possessions (let alone a car, which is absurd), but what you bring to the table in terms of work performance and value.

Salt is commonly used to melt ice and snow. Salt and moisture corrode metal resulting in rust. Hence salt can be your car's worst enemy. FWD cars perform much better in the snow for most drivers. RWD takes some getting used to as its not difficult to get the back end out once on a snowy or icy driving surface.
I couldn't agree with you more. I'm just saying ppl develop opinions based on the way you dress, the car you drive, whether or not your married etc etc etc. I'm not saying its right, I'm just saying thats what happens. My uncle owns a BMW Z4 (yeah i know its not that impressive), but he doesn't drive this car to business meetings as his clients would undoubtedly think they were paying him too much to afford a Bimmer. Instead he drives his Chevy Trailblazer which he likely paid more than the BMW for. Its all about perception.
