An 11 years old vehicle could be a Corolla or an S-Klass.

It's the lowest trim level of japanese minivan. Many hidden zipties threaded like stitches secure plastic panels and underbody guards.

I save more than most and spend more on things like gear and vacation. Nobody knows unless I allow it to be known. Among my peers (coworkers and friends from places I've lived), I easily live in the area w the most poverty. I prefer to keep my income level private. If it were known, it would likely change the nature of my relationships. Worst would be the nonproft where I occasionally help the same ~20 people, most in awful financial situations.

People driving 11 years old S-Klass aren't usually rich, only irresponsible.
Why irresponsible ?
Maintenance costs the same as a brand new one, if not more.
That's in fact not true.
