The same situation in The People's Republic of Boulder! Lots of White Rastas trudging thru the snow in their recycled-car-tire-sandals, dodging MB/BMW/Porsche SUVs, Minis, Hummers (original style, of course), Jags, etc, etc, etc.
It's got to be the '60's/entrepreneurial clash going on. (Mo Seigel started as a hippie picking herbs in the foothills, & look at him now!) Two of the last three startups I worked for, the owner (same guy for both companies) drove either:
1) Aston Martin DB7 Vantage (the daily driver)
2) Shelby Cobra AC Roadster (only on really nice days; hey, it's an original, not a replica!)
3) BMW X5 (the wife's car, but apparently she stayed home when it snowed)
Did I mention he's never been successful in his business ventures? (That's right, all three of his start-ups have tanked after a few years! Well, what can you expect from a guy trained as a dentist? But I digress ... )
If you see a Ferrari, Lotus, Lamborghini, or any other exotic in Boulder (& there are LOTS in this "college town"), you can be sure another start-up just got some more funding! (Sorry if I sound a tad cynical. Where's my beer ... ?)
