A) You are an upper-middle class recent college graduate and you just started your first job. Your parents, still filled with pride of your graduation, wanted to get you a “new,” “more grown-up car” for you to replace your 1994 Accord (with bumper stickers all over the back). You get angry that the sound system isn’t that good when you are trying to blast the Fray CD Ipod with radio transmitter on the way to your paralegal administrative job.

B) You are in your early thirties and your career hasn’t necessarily blossomed the way that you had hoped. I mean, but you still do have the possibility of that big promotion in a year or so. You told people that you bought this car because of it’s “reliability” and “good gas mileage”; but in reality you could not afford a BMW or Benz, and figured that if you keep a newer Accord clean that you can at least appear as if you are doing ok for yourself.
