    It is likely a bit of selection bias by cops as well. They target the rich jerks because of the expensive eye catching cars and the truck assholes because they are big and drien bynyokels.

    The drunken Camry crew is out there just blending in.

      Sure, but it’s mostly selection bias from the other direction.

      If I have a need to break the rules and look flashy doing it, I’m not picking the Camry as my car.

      If I have masculinity issues and I drink to deal with them because I’m too macho for therapy, I’m not going to drive a minivan.
