Why is it that some husbands let their wives drive luxury cars while they drive ordinary cars?
I've been observing some of my neighbors (one of them is a stay at home mom) and the husbands drive ordinary cars like Honda Accord or Honda Pilot. But the wives tend to drive luxury cars like Acura TSX or Acura RDX (some form of luxury car). What is the reason for this? Why do wives get to drive luxury cars while the husband drives ordinary car?
Added (1). I should say some of them.
Added (2). Its not a problem though but was only curious.
Added (3). The neighbors are Asians actually.

It can go both ways. Wife stays at home doing nothing because she doesn't want to, therefore has the husband working real hard to give her everything she wants. Or, wives that want to work don't have to because the husband can support them more than enough financially.
Maybe the wife doesn't put that many miles on the better car, and so when she's not using it during the week and there are family outings or dates etc., they take the better car. Driving back and forth to work every day puts a lot of wear and tear on a vehicle.
My daughter drives the brand new Jeep Compass with the heated leather seats and all the bells and whistles. Her partner drives the beat up 1998 Chevy Cavalier. You wanna know why? Because he drives to work, where the car sits in the parking lot all day. SHE is the one transporting two small children, running errands, grocery shopping, etc. She NEEDS the new, SAFE vehicle they use as a family. All he's doing is commuting to work. It doesn't make sense for the better vehicle to sit parked all day.
I drive a luxury car and my husband does not. This is because he has kids from his previous marriage. I do not. I bought my car with my own money with zero help from him and do not expect any. It's my money I should be able to buy/drive what I want and so should he.
Probably because some husbands don't care anything about driving a 'luxury car' day to day, but like having one available so when the whole family (or just the couple) goes somewhere, they have a nice vehicle to go in.
I have a friend that works for the government. He drives an old accord to work. After the spying problems, workers that drove expensive cars were afraid of having the gvpt taking a harder look at their finances.
I drove a older car, because a car to me is to get me from A to B. It's 10 year old car that is paid for and works great. Wife drives a much nicer car because she likes it.
"LET"?
It's the other way around in my family. I'm the one who drives the 17 year old car to work every day. He drives a practically new Town and Country which is a luxury car for a family with 3 small kids. He is disabled, so he is the main caregiver to them.
- Why do people get mad over the fact that their cars require full synthetic oil? I work as a mechanic and found some people do not like the fact 2010 and up toyotas and Hondas and almost all 2014 cars and European cars require full synthetic oil. A majority of the anger comes towards toyotas and Hondas. Despite me explaining the increased intervals, they still get angered at the fact. Is it just me or does less time doing oil changes that save you more money in the long run end up coming out cheaper despite the increased price and why would they be angry saving money?

- What are some sites where people rent out their own personal cars? I'm thinking of one, but I forgot the name of it. You'd have a list of people renting their cars out in your area. You could rent anything from a 15yo Honda with a manual trans to newer Teslas and BMWs. Any similar rental services?
