I can vouch for getting something less flash and more stealthy.
Only time I've been canned before my time was when I started turning up in a brand spank Lotus. Now car people know they're not exactly supercars or have the price tag to match, but your average permie manager doesn't think that.
Nowadays I drive the cheapest piece of reliable crap that I dare. Bonus is I don't give a tulip who dents it in car parks or where I leave it overnight.
Overly flash cars are for those trying to keep up with the joneses. I don't live in Wales.Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

I would advise you to ignore whining permies, take a few cars out for a test drive and buy the one you like most. If it’s expensive and you’re concerned about the impression you give to permies, just be a bit considerate about where you park it at clientco. Don’t roll up and demonstrably park it next to the permie manager’s Vectra, but find a quiet spot somewhere in a corner of the car park and arrive a little earlier or later than everyone else. Don’t leave your expensive brand car keys on your desk or on the table at lunch; it offends the permies and it shows you up as a pleb.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?
