I don't need to go to Mexico to see it.

It's embarrassing for some to use the bus, even though they barely can make a vehicle work for them.
A lot of slum dwellers prefer to lower the suspension and swap bigger rims into whatever car they get, even though it becomes a PITA to drive around with nearly no suspension travel and they often resort to lower-quality tyres and other makeshift approaches which compromise the safety of everyone else. And if anyone criticises them, they claim critics to be always driven out of "envy" and riding on buses.

Instead of being reasonably-minded enough to keep an econobox stock such as this one...


...local ricers claim a lowered one like this would catch more attention than a Porsche or a Ferrari

But you go to these rich towns around here where everyone has a multimillion dollar home. And as my brother puts it, they all dress like hobos. They have holes and patches on their clothes, torn shoes and hats, and love taking the bus or just walking instead of driving their car.
I have met really rich people who drove either an older luxury car they kept since new or some random econobox. Sometimes they perceive an econobox as the best option to go under the radar attracting fewer attemption from thieves and kidnappers.
