About that... This is not quite my experience.

Have a bit of a WTF story to tell. So one day, I drove to a friend's house to fix up his Mazda6 that has been sitting for a year(I am driving that car now). This random old guy shows up and tells me that some rich and powerful people in my province drive a Toyota and then he goes on and tells me how I should be humble. Keep in mind that I am Asian, and the old guy assumed I am new to Canada. Maybe 9 years are a short time to some people. And just because someone drives an old Toyota, doesn't mean they can't have a pile of expensive watches sitting inside the house. Just different hobbies, perhaps an even more expensive one.

And before you say it's the colour and it's an SS 1LE... I have a friend with a grey V6 6th Gen Camaro that was getting jealousy which is even weirder. I guess some non-car people see Camaro and think it's expensive? I am kinda flattered if that's the case, but seriously, a well equipped Camry or Mazda6 could be just as expensive as a V6 Camaro.
