Same here in FL. People are either very wealthy or they are drowning in debt to have a new car. So dumb, but dumb people do dumb things.

I'll give you a hint, well-off people aren't usually buying F350s and Suburbans...it's people who want to seem like they're well off and don't want people to know that they're swimming up shit's creek without goggles on.

Source; I'm also in FL.

I live in an area with more families and fewer retirees so I see endless fleets of Suburbans, Tahoes, Grand Wagoneers and Expeditions all day every day. These all can range from 70-100k. Then tons of dudes driving brand new Sierras (Denali of course), Silverados and F-150s. These are also the same people that complain about how expensive gas is.
