I'm a little puzzled by something...my 17 year old destroyed her car and is doing without for awhile, so I have been driving her and her brother to high school every morning. I normally drive a shiny dark green 98 Cadillac Deville, it's a very clean, low mile car. None of the kids mine go to school with have said anything about it, good, bad or indifferent. I drove them one day in my beater 1986 420SEL. They both came home that night raving about all the comments from other students, asking which subdivision we live in, because we must be rich?!
I can't understand why the perceived value of a 19 year old, beat up SEL is so much greater than that of a 7 year old, clean Deville.
Any comments?
