Probably, however I think the standard of individual is still there and that they exist in any major city or town.

That's some funny $h!t! I know the species well -cough- brother-in-law -cough-. What? Who said that?

I'm also very familiar with (and surrounded by) their married subspecies, the $60K millionaires (ssp. douchebagus X *****us), complete with two incomes, a leased 3 series AND X series SUV, $375K mortgage and daycare payments.

Sorry to hear that G. But I'm willing to bet there are considerable behavioral differences that set you apart.

Yup, here is a photographic example of my town. I recognized 4 people in some of the photos, 2 of which I know fit the bill perfectly.

I very seldom go out to bars, and rarely have a bill over $10 when I eat out. The only thing that really hit home in the article was the shoes. You can't wear cheap loafers and be comfortable anyway. I'm always first on the sale rack for under $100 specials on Ecco or Cole Haans. I will not compromise on that.

They do, the cops around here have check points at closing time. Milford cops just set them up at will, if you don't like it sue the city.

My uncle drives a Chevy 1500 SS, but he had a string of F150's before the Chevy.

The SS is a bad a** truck. Sounds like a Vette when you stomp on it.

I love going out for the night hanging out with my friends and drinking beer. I would be out right now if I didn't have to write a )*&*()&*( term paper. I cut myself off at $20-$30 though. After working hard all day NOTHING tastes better than an ice cold beer in good company.

My Cole Haans are collecting dust, so are my Brooks Brothers and Zenga sports jackets.

My Wolverine's OTOH are getting quite a work out. Cole Haans feel like toys on my feet now after the steel toes.
