I had a theory that luxury vehicles depreciate faster since those that buy them are concerned with image, and new projects a higher status image. That's around the time I bought the used (4 years old at the time) TSX for half the original price.

I'm always dumbfounded that cars like the Aveo can find buyers, because I'd take just about any used car over a new Aveo. I always repeat this, but I dated a girl that bought 2 new Aveos, and each time spent more than I did on a 4 year old Acura.

I wouldn't work in a career field that relied heavily on image, unless the important image to convey was knowledge and competence. Nothing would crush my soul faster than walking strangers around a house saying "...and this is the kitchen, it's an open concept".

That reminds me, trendy signs that say the obvious, like "Eat", in a dining room inspire me to make a sign for the bathroom that says "Poop".
