how so many expensive jeepetas in this country?

Is this all you do is make a mockery of African American people. Maybe tomorrow you can mock Puerto Ricans.

BTW That is NOT a watch DUMB A$$ it is a CLOCK and it symbolize something, but I would not expect some " CRACKER JACK PRIZE, HALF A$$, NICKLE & DIME, BEAN EATING, PENDEJO to understand. Maybe if you hurry up you can catch the" massage palor" before they close.

Rice and beans wasn't trying to be racially offensive but you on the other hand think its quite ok to throw the Cracker word around like its ok, But God forbid someone posts a pic of flavor flav. Grow up my man everything is not racial.
 
I am really amazed about the number of jeepetas in this country.
Jeepetas are premium cars, very expensive everywhere at any country.
How in a developing (just not to say third world) country there are so many premium cars?
Just an example, in Spain, where people earns 3, 4 times more than a dominican, they can only afford those jeepetas if they are mid-high class professionals.
It would be like if I would be in Barcelona for example and all roads were plenty of Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborgini ... no way, it would be ilogical situation, so ...

how this happens in this country? really curious about it ...

Just one of a long list of things that I cannot really understand from this country ....

After reading thru this whole thread I now fully understand why AZB says some of the things he says on this site. Most foreigners come to DR and associate with the bottom of the socio economic scale and never associate with professional Dominicans. You all automatically assume its drug money or baseball players families who can afford these cars. Most of you need to get out of the ghettos and stop hanging with the Animacion teams from the all inclusives.

The car is one of the biggest misconception to wealth there is. If you want to tell how much money a man has or access to look at his WATCH if his watch is 12,000USD plus respect him. Anybody can pay a high interest car note means nothing. LOOK at the WATCH.

Anyone that thinks a measure of a man's wealth is in his watch deserves to be mocked. you respect people because they are wealthy? You are strange.

I have NEVER refered to white people as "crackers in my life it is NOT my style. Do you know that a BOX of Cracker Jacks has a PRIZE inside, and it is usually a CHEAP TOY? I do not do that "racial" thing because my mother rasied a man. Look at all of my post all mainly talk about nasty gringos, but they are totally different from my fellow white Americans.

BTW Don't tell me what Rice & Bean was thinking are you in his head? Also if you are going to mock a brother like "Flavor" and his CLOCKS not watches, but CLOCKS no the reason why he wears those CLOCKS.

I have daughter half Dominican and another half Mexican and my mother is African American ,father is Puerto Rican, do you think I need to use racially offensive remarks to a "pale face"( as my Native Americans brothers would say) that calls himself "rice and beans" NOW MR 33 who sees everything racial?

I was in a colmado. A Dominican in an SUV that had to cost US $65,000 if it cost a peso hopped out, came into the colmado and bought one cigarette.

I like to peed my pants.

i have always wondered why i have never seen anybody with high end stereo equipment in this country. i have seen it in Puerto Rico, as far back as 1988, and i blog on hi fi sites with people from all over Latin America, and the caribbean, even from The Turks and Caicos. never seen any interest from a Dominican. know why? you cannot take it on the street with you! you cannot impress others with it. what good is it, if nobody gets to ooh and ahh? that is why they will spend 200,000pesos to put a system into a car that is worth 150,000. they can then pull up to a crowd of bystanders, ignite the air with 150 decibels of cacophony, and say ?mine is bigger than yours?.

Then they will turn their costly sound system up to the point that it distorts, instead of turning it down just a bit until it sounds clean, they will then turn it up just a bit more. It isn't the quality that matters, its the quantity of the sound. That is another reason why high end stereo equipment is not a priority here.

I know many a millionaire that don't wear any jewelery, so how do you judge them?????? I know a guy here in the DR, a multi-millionaire, dresses sloppy, doesn't wear any jewelery, and is very happy with himself, and my good buddies girlfriend (dominican) asks "why do you hang around with this guy? He doesn't have anything, look at his clothes, his shoes, he drives an old truck......."

Here everything is image, and the jepeta is the biggest piece of this pie........

So, in your little world, a watch impresses you more than substance...........

Respect someone because of the price of their watch? Give me a break.

RIGHT!!! Bob nobody on the planet respect wealthy people but JMB. Why would I buy a 15,000USD like a Kia or something when I can buy a Breguet XXII for around 16,0000USD. I had a mentor growing that was as brillant as Albert. The worst item you can purchase in life is a CAR. The best items you can purchase is jewerly. Why do you think that is so BOB?

Years back everybody laugh at JMB because I rented my apartment and leased my cars. JMB you are so STUPID why spend all this money on watches and you do not even OWN your home or your car they said. NOW in 2012 those homes are worth NOTHING and the cars that they finally payoff are worth 70% less then what they paid for them. Now if I have three watches that that total 32,000USD they ARE NOT worth 70% less then what I paid for them. THANKS MENTOR!!!

BTW I have not paid a car repair bill in over 7 years LEASING cars has its benefit. Also those people AREN"T laughing NO MAS!!!

Absolutely right, I can't believe so many expats actually think all these SUV's driving Dominicans are either drug dealers, government spoon babies, or smiple rice and bean selling fools.


I can't wait to tell my Dominican neighbor he should stop constructing all those apartment buildings and houses, get rid of his four prized cars, and get back to selling rice and beans; because after all, this is what us gingos think
they are only capable of doing.

The baja-panty thing all makes perfect sense. In any country. If you're looking to score, you want to oversell yourself. You get the hot girl for the night and that's it. She won't be around long enough to find out that you're destitute. If you're a more serious guy, you undersell. That way you filter out some of the more superficial girls and if one ends up sticking around she'll be pleasantly surprised to find that things are not always what they seem at first glance. Or she might not even care.

Whats wrong with marrying a hooker? Sure they may not be any tread left on the tire but at least they are smart enough to charge u for it lol. BTW if u ever look at Forbes.com and view some of the richest people in the world not all of them are flamboyant, just check out the wal-mart heirs. Just because u have it doesnt mean u have to spend it

Yeah we're all drug dealers!

I have a Cayenne. But I have to pass a drug and alcohol test every year in order to go to work.

A friend of mine has a Cayenne Turbo and a Mercedes SL500. He doesn't do drugs, never has. (maybe a Viagra every now and then to satisfy all the girls he gets!)

Another friend had an X5, no not a drug dealer either.

Other friends have Honda Pilots, brand new VW Amaroks, VW Touaregs and an Audi Q7.

ALL of them, hard working professionals.

Not doing drugs isn't proof that one's not dealing them.

The most successful dealers have one rule: Never use the product you sell.

:)

Joking aside, not sure why you're being so defensive. Most posters have acknowledged, myself included, that some of the nicer vehicles on the roads belong to professionals, entrepreneurs and pensioners/retirees.

I don't disagree with you about cars. Leasing is not a bad idea for some. I prefer to own my cars but each to their own. I might respect a wealthy person, but not because they are wealthy. Buying and selling real estate is all about right place, right time.
I just sold a house for $330, 000 that I bought 5 years ago for $260,000, and have done reasonably well on other properties that we rent out. I own a simple but elegant Citizen watch.

Most of you need to get out of the ghettos and stop hanging with the Animacion teams from the all inclusives.

the reason why most foreigners who live here associate with the bottom rungs of society is because of the old adage that water finds its own level. most of these guys would not get the time of day from decent, educated Dominicans. the only reason people pay attention to them is because they have a few pesos, and light pigment, which goes a long way here. otherwise, many of them are just uneducated riff raff, who have convinced themselves that they are important, and special.
