say if you had a white collar job but kept showing up to work in a car that is not "business like" (along the lines of a hot hatch, rx-8, or mustang) while everyone around you is driving lexus/citroens/volvos, do you think you could give off the wrong vibe?

I am being offered employment in the dallas fort worth area, and the field of work requires a lot of networking and meeting new people so the first impression is important. I am looking to get a sports car of some sort when I am living there, but I am worried that the people I work with (all are at least 15-20 years older than I am) prefer to have all the younger employees essentially do the "bitch work".

I have never lived anywhere with warm weather around the year and would love to have a sports car and not worry about snow tyres but this new job makes me feel as if I need to sell my automotive soul in order to succeed there. Lexus/Buick dealership here I come?

epic fail...
