This sounds pretty phony to me.. I work for MCI (Software Systems Engineer,
manager III level).  My sr. Mgr drives an '86 Bronco, my team lead drives an
'83 Volvo, and I drive a mint-condition red '87 Mustang GT, a '88 Bronco II,
and probably a BMW M3 soon..

And I'm a Gen-x (27) yuppie techie.. ;-)
