Lexus Heaven

During a routine hospital call in Lexington today, I accidentally passed through the physician’s parking lot. I kind of sensed I was not longer in Falmouth when I passed the third Lexus in a row:)

This 60 second jaunt got me to thinking. I thought I'd share some of my random thoughts:
  • Were any of these rides paid for in cash? (Dave Ramsey made me say it!)
  • Are any of these vehicles paid off?
  • Is there incredible pressure to drive a nice car and live in a fabulous home when you make that kind of money?
  • Out of the forty or fifty cars in that particular lot, only two struck me as not falling into the “luxury” vehicle category. One was a Honda Prelude and the other was a Ford pick up truck - both from the early 90’s. I couldn't help but wonder if these physicians had chosen the simple life?

I must disagree, I believe my 1996 Buick with the back window not going all the way up; and covered with duct tape, one of the Pairs /Bourbon County Library’s audio tapes stuck in my tape deck with some old beef jerky wrappers on the floor board a “luxury” car category… You see, beef jerky wrappers and old yahoo bottles are a lot better then the pesky ole “new car smell”.

No, the older two vehicles probably belonged to the "residents" They are the young docs doing all the work 24/7 and still paying on all their student loans!

My thought when you mention the two vehicles that the owners could be living the simple life:
"Their lexus is in the shop"
