The injury thing I totally agree, but (AND THIS ISN'T DIRECTED AT YOU PERSONALLY IN ANY WAY) social status? Pfft. Come on now. If you can't be successful and drive a fiscally-repsonsible vehicle, you're wasting too much time measuring penises and not enjoying life.
If you buy a new / larger / faster car simply because the old one's tired or broken down constantly, then good. All the more power to you. But on parking lot status? Bah. That's lemming talk.
I park next to Jags and other assorted fun stuff daily. While I respect their right to drive what they want, my driving a Focus doesn't impede on evaluations, raises or their overall opinion of how I do my job. If you have to drive
xxx car to get ahead without giving head... you're in the wrong job / social circles.
