Seen plenty of that. Someone buys a Lexus because they want to brag about having a lexus, but they're really a redneck, vato, ghetto, w/e inside.

I'm surprised you only saw one.

So fishing is ghetto? If you drive a lexus you can't take poles down to the lake?

That Lexus is worth maybe $5k. Your Kia Soul is the more expensive car.

OP looks down on people who fish? LOL

As if to say, someone who can afford a nice car doesn't enjoy fishing or that the only people who fish are doing so because they can't buy food?

Ridiculous.

I don't get it.

If anything I'd say you have spare cash lying around if you're going fishing in this economy. Fishing can get expensive.

Thought you would be making fun of the missing wheel cover.
lexus doesn't use wheel covers. that's either a temp or a lot of brake dust.

They're in Texas, they should have an F350 dually to haul their fishing poles around.

it's funny because it's true

I don't get it.

there are people that fish in the drainage bayou in the park where i live. they don't look wealthy. i bet they are eating those fish and with all the household runoff in there, there's probably negative long term health effects.

No I think it was quite funny to see that type of car with the poles hanging out the window and it was raining besides... I could care less if they enjoy fishing or not... The thing is most of the time you see and old clunker with the poles hanging out like this so I did think it was odd to see a car like that with fishing gear hanging on the outside and it was rigged so no it was not new... As for my post title it got your attention but of course you look at it the way you want but only guess as to what I meant... Maybe thats the way you roll...?

To put it simple it was rather ironic thats all...

They're in Texas, they should have an F350 dually to haul their fishing poles around.

Most just use it to pull their bass boat or party barge like this (poles fit real nice in them too)...
