Commuter's view of the Economy (rehashed)

I think I need to rescind my comment about perceived economic trends in the types of cars that people drive. Since I've been working a bit later the last month or two, I have seen a few more Mercedes and BMWs on the road, and a lot more Audis. Either the economy is picking up pretty rapidly again, or I was just driving amongst a different segment of the population during my commute. However, I'll add as a side note, I have been seeing some of these cars during my morning commute as well, so it might actually be a sign of economic improvement.

Be certain that I'll keep my eyes out for emerging trends to find additional merit for my perceptions.
