    I just saw a Lincoln commercial that was literally "I DROVE A LINCOLN BEFORE IT WAS COOL", so I guess Lincoln cars are for hipsters then.

        @awlditzy Yeah, you'd think so, wouldn't you? But Lincoln Town Cars, Toyota Priuses, and Honda Odysseys are like the most commonly driven cars in this town.

          @mrmattimation Huh. Well I was basing it on what I see here, mostly Toyota sedan of some variety.

            @awlditzy Most of the cars around here are luxury cars 'cause the county is one of the wealthiest in the country. My high school's student parking lot is full of 2010s sports cars.

              @mrmattimation Where I work we see the more than occasional German car, mostly Audis, and a good deal of those like sports models or modified to an extent. Not exactly wealthy, but out there to prove one's status I suppose.

                @awlditzy Yeah, not a whole lot of modded cars here. Everything's really stock and boring.

                  @mrmattimation There's a pretty big mod thing going on here, seemingly. Younger adults and bored, with money to spare.

                    @awlditzy I think part of the reason there are no modded cars is because the students don't actually buy them, their parents do.

                @mrmattimation My friends drug dealers all drive them, so that sounds legit.

                  @cinnamonswirl I was about to reply when I realised that you are not taking about *real* drug dealers

                      @cinnamonswirl ah I expect drug dealers use better phones. Though I should have expected you were talking about drug dealers in the first place

              @cinnamonswirl You're not incorrect though, Lincoln cars are also pretty popular when it comes to taxis.
