Funny How This Happens
Most days I have to walk across the street to get to the Heritage Building for work, and then back across again to the parking lot later to leave. Some days there is no traffic, so it's not a problem. Other days you wouldn't BELIEVE how much traffic there is in a little town like Searcy! I've noticed something, and no.....this hasn't been a scientific study or anything CLOSE to that. Just an observation. Most of the time, it's not the BMW or Mercedes or Lexus or fancy SUV that stops to let me and others go across. It's the 80's Plymouth K-car or beat up Dodge Caravan that usually stops. It may be TOTALLY coincidental. I don't think it would be very hard to make that argument at all. And maybe there are a lot more of those older vehicles than there are the nicer more expensive ones.
But what if it's not coincidence?

That is a VERY interesting observation!
Ooops... was that you? Sorry about the black Trailblazer almost running you over!
:)
I hate that I am one of those people who get in a hurry and aren't always considerate. I will try to be very good tomorrow - and maybe the day after that, too.
You aught to try to TURN LEFT into the parking lot at Downtown on Sunday mornings. At one point... we counted 20 cars, until one person stopped to let us in..
Hmmmmm...
Here in New Jersey I try to be a pedestrian as little as possible. You can get run down in NJ just as easily by a beat-up 94 Altima as a 2008 Rogue.
Years ago, Angi taught at Pepperdine University for a year.
She said you could always tell the students' cars from the professors' ...
Guess who drove the Lamborghinis, DeLoreans, and BMWs? (Hint: It wasn't the profs!)
You're reading the makeup of your sample as snootiness when it is probably the simple fact that there are more Dodge Caravans and the like around Searcy (even around Harding) than there are Lexus (Lexi?) and BMWs. You're observation is what you would expect to find even if everyone in all sorts of cars had equal snootiness quotients.
NT, hence my statement: "And maybe there are a lot more of those older vehicles than there are the nicer more expensive ones."

Sounds like the students aren't being very courteous.
I don't see many HU students driving the junkers. It is fun, however, to drive through the student parking lots and count the cars that are (much) nicer than mine.
And, I've been working 19 years. Kinda makes one understand how they whine about cafeteria food, too slow internet connections, etc., etc.
