i'm in eastern Loudoun, south of Ashburn. i'm about 5-6 miles down Loudoun County Pkwy from Redskins Park (can't stand the Skins - love to see them lose! 
)
Yes, the east has most of the families with money, by numbers of people, but there is oodles of cash out west in horse country.
you mean the world doesn't end at the Potomac River and Shenandoah Mountains?
Get the heck outta here! That is just crazy talk.
Yes, we all know there is more to the world than our respective corners. Looking at the whole lux auto pie, it's not as bad as the non-lux auto pie. Not even close. MB has had losses before, Toyota hadn't had a loss in DECADES.

THE C350
Plumbing and gutters?
i mentioned that because from my understanding if the water hits the ground and then damages your house that is considered flood and you won't be covered for water damage. maybe i am wrong but that is how an insurance person described it to me.
yes mclean has an older median age but that is not always a bad thing. it gives me a lot of computer work and they pay well.

since the entire country is different. Its best to compare overall sales numbers.
Here's the august numbers. This was when cash for clunkers was in full force. You can see most of the luxury brands are still struggling except for audi.

Based on august numbers, mercedes lost less group then bmw in terms of percentage. But BMW still sells a greater volume.

+1, on more work from older medians. I have not had a shortage of tech work here in Atl at all, actually it is steadily increasing.

As you can see from the numbers, cash for clunkers helped mostly the asian brands and high volume manufacturers.
