Next Time You See Someone Driving A Convertible - Remember They Are Probably Smarter and More Affluent Than You Are

Don’t let it go to your head, but if you drive a convertible, chances are you’re both more educated and more affluent than the typical American motorist, or so shows a new study from Experian Automotive.

You’re also  lot more likely to live in one of the sunshine states, especially California, Texas or Florida – though ragtops also have plenty of fans in more northern climes, including coastal communities in New York, as well as that heartland state, Illinois.

This just in, if you drive a more expensive vehicle then you probably have a higher income and in turn a higher level of education. Finally in Summer of 2014 all these things are coming together into one grand unified socioeconomic theory of "education, income, and choice of vehicle have a positive correlation." Holy crap where were Experian Automotive and their crack team of researchers when we needed them in.. oh wait we've never needed them.

Make sense converts are a luxury item, usually a second or third car.

California, Texas and Florida, huh.

Well, California is technically bankrupt, and Texas and Florida are some of the U.S. states that are really doing well economically.

In fact, mostly the ones who are economically doing well are the southern U.S. states. Most of northern part of the U.S. sucks, except Washington state.
