Where I used to work in the Department of Defence in the manufacture munitions, it was an amusing observation that most of the engineers back then drove old, sometimes clapped-out cars, while their lesser paid staff all drove nice new or newer cars than their bosses.
That only changed in more recent years when leases as part of a salary package and tax deductions made getting new cars a more attractive proposition (though I thought it still led to more expenditure than just running the old car).
