Why do you bow to the rich and mock the poor?
Discussion
Pistonheads now seems to be the reserve of the rich. It seems to me and many other members that the rich can do no wrong and the poorer can do no right. If you have money you can buy an expensive car and make as many garish mods as you want and on the whole the pistonheads massive will be all over it kissing the owners cheeks and praising everything the wealthy owner is doing to basically ruin his or her expensive car.

My interpretation is quite the opposite in that I perceive most PHers to be low to middle income.k out of it.

I think on the whole people on PH pretend to be much richer than are, and enjoy pretending to internet strangers that they charge about in tweeds and brogues all day, smoke about private members clubs and have a 'man' who settles their chits for them on a quarterly basis.
In reality, I picture most of them in branded motorsports 'technical' jackets and Matalan jeans. Just look at any clothing/style thread for proof.
I really wouldn't come here for taste/style advice...

Yes, one must look down on disastrous peasants...The OP is quite an insensitive type and ought to be ashamed of himself.
Just look at the turmoil and anguish he's unleashed on the rich Red Baron with one thoughtless post...
