This. Also puts a target on the kids back and will be judged by their peers. Also projects said child into elite-ism at an early age. At 44, I still get asked by locals, "Your sister was the really pretty girl that drove the BMW in high-school right?" Don't remember her name, or anything else, other than she was pretty and BMW. That was 30 years ago. I drove a '76 El Camino in high school.
.......she drives a Merc now
