I went to an almost-Ivy League school, full of very wealthy kids, and that was actually where I got the most critical looks about my car. Lots of kids drive Benzes/SUVs/Range Rovers, but the ones who didn't and were particularly liberal were REALLY critical of those of us who had nice cars, whether they were old models or brand new off the lot. If I had a penny for every time I heard someone refer to us "spoiled rich kids with our Mercedes/BMWs/Range Rovers."
