"It's sad that people feel the need to brag about things they will probably never own."

You can't ever tell. My wife worked at a very successful ad agency in Nashville whose owner drove an old Chevy Caprice. The guy was worth millions. I worked for a guy whose father (founder of a very large hospital corporation) drove an ancient Oldsmobile. You really couldn't tell by their cars they were extremely rich.

I agree. You can't always tell someone's net worth by the car they drive. But if they openly brag about so many things that they own, hoping people nearby hear it, then get in an old, beatup POS car, more than likely they aren't what they claim.
