TG: I remember heading up to Temecula and Murrieta back in 2003 through 2006 for Pop Warner games and seeing all of the H1/H2 Hummers, GMC Denalis and Caddy Escalades in the parking lot. All of them were sporting TVPW (Temecula Valley Pop Warner) and MVPW (Murrieta Valley) stickers.
The last couple of seasons, I’ve been seeing more Camrys, Accords and minivans.
I won’t say that the era of conspicuous consumption has ended, but it’s taken a hell of a dent.
