> There's really nothing fundamentally different about Kevin the yuppie changing the oil in his "classic" 2001 4Runner on the street but when you start talking about people like Cletus, Manuel and Jamal doing the same on domestic minivans of the 90s suddenly there's a problem. The fact that Kevin's bank account has more digits to the left of the decimal shouldn't matter but for some reason it does...
I mean, I don't see much of a problem in either case unless they're routinely obstructing the right of way or leaving a half-built vehicle to rust in the front lawn.
sometimes seemingly small differences can change something from cool or at least acceptable to annoying. I used to live across the street from a guy with an immaculately maintained classic mustang. my nextdoor neighbors had a bunch of two-stroke dirtbikes that they would ride almost everyday. that mustang was incredibly loud, but it sounded awesome. the guy was really cool and would show me other exotic cars he was restoring all the time. the dirtbikes were not nearly as loud as the mustang, but they weren't interesting either, so I just found them annoying. despite the fact that they were basically doing the same thing, I'd way rather have the mustang guy as a neighbor than the dirtbike family.
