If you've ever spent time in Newport, RI, and seen what the old money in this country drives... it's Honda's and Toyota's. You don't see so many Bentley's, Ferrari's or Bugatti's.
- brentr 18y agoI lived in Providence, and this is partially true. Yes, there are many old money that drive cars like this, but if you spend time out in Newport during the summer, you do see many six figure cars.
- josefresco 18y agoMoney on the east coast is less concerned with flashy cars. Your more likely to see their money invested quietly in their homes and families. West coast/the South is all about your image, I saw more 6 figure cars in the poorest sections of Miami than I've seen in the richest places in New England.
- dgabriel 18y agoI grew up in Newport, and the numerous non-rich people driving cars around might fool you... That said, it looks like Volkswagons and Volvos tend to be the cars of choice among the wealthier. Not Ferraris, sure, but a step above the Toyota.
