No, correct. It is a stereotype, a brand, and a proof of weath.

But that is changing also. You can see it by looking at the number of performance shops and Indy opening in every corners of the cities and provinces.

Influenced a lot by JP and the HK rich & famous, of course

PS: Showing a vintage car to a local has the same effect as if you would show them an OLD Naked Grand Mother. Picture that
