I see people see the same things about Ferrari owners and yet all of them I’ve ever met or talked to are die-hard car guys that just made some money and moved up. You don’t have to be “rich” to finance a car when you’re making decent money. I’m nowhere close to rich, I just spend my money on cars instead of other things.
The people who don’t want to be associated with these “snob” Porsche and Ferrari crowds are either broke and jealous, don’t realize the great networking opportunities they’re missing out on, or both.

I both agree and disagree. My experience is primarily based in Scottsdale, where we have a unique and ever shifting demographic. One key factor you may not be aware of is our "snowbird season", which significantly changes the crowd at Cars & Coffee (C&C) events. Many people actually prefer other gatherings, such as those at Toy Barns or "The Vault", where the real networking happens. C&C, especially in South Scottsdale, tends to attract a more "nouveau riche" e-commerce dropshipping crowd. This includes people who may have just made their first million—or in some cases, the person in the Urus who lives in an apartment.
If you ever come out to Scottsdale, feel free to DM me and we can roll in one of the Mclarens or something and you can see for yourself.
