There are a lot of people with eight figure net worths driving beater pick ups around town, looking like they just got off a 7/7 shift.

it's a combination of 2 things...due to being an oil and gas hub, there's some serious money flowing through a town the size of Lafayette. some legit OT ballers. However, Laffy also has a high ratio of d-bags and bros living beyond their means.

Moss Motors on Evangeline Thruway? I always wonder the same thing when I pass but there are some OT baller cars in Lafayette. I know there are a few GTR owners in Lafayette and I've seen a 997 Turbo around lately. Yesterday I saw a Rolls Royce Ghost.

Its def Moss Motors on Hwy 90. They are selling to internet buyers, not local. They have a large internet presence.

Only Lexus lfa I ever saw in person...was flying down 90 in laffy.
Judging by the mid fifties lady struggling to drive it, she won that bad boy in the divorce.
The other night my wife and I got to see a Lamborghini aventador and a Nissan gtr race on i10 between 151 and 139... there was a gallardo bringing up the rear. Side by side from 90 that Lamborghini wanted none of that Nissan. Both lambos were firing smoke and unburnt fuel when they tached up. The Nissan didn't even show a puff of soot in my headlights.
Given the aventador's rarity, wasn't hard to trace that back to a saints player.
Lambos, high end lambos, are for the stupid rich who can buy them and afford to ditch them in less than 30k. Even with Audi running QC, they are so unreliable you better have some serious coin to keep it on the road.
You want to see networth...look in the old garden district of BR, or around St. Mary street next to UL. There are some TRUE ballers in those old run down homes.
Hell, last year in BR when that what was thought to be abandoned garden district home burned down, there were multiple safes standing among the rubble, one a much larger
fort Knox unit.. The next day there were crews loading each into an honest to god armored truck. From what I saw when I stopped to gawk, none were opened to check contents before moving.
That's OG money right there...the type that doesn't char in house fires if you catch my drift.

This a shite ton. I live here and laugh everyday about it, cant wait to GTFO. Dont get me wrong there is some serious $ around town but there is a ton of the above. A lil fun fact about Laff. Back in 08 when shite was getting really rough, guess the area with the highest percentage of water and electricity shut offs for failure to pay?
River Ranch.

Never understood this. I plan on dying without a penny left. Just hope to time it right. My father started enjoying his money far too late in my opinion. I make money to spend money. My kids can earn their own, and it does me no good to die with a pile of money in the bank.

I believe it. I know a few businesses that had to up root or sell out to bigger company's b/c of the moratorium. During this time, if you drove through River Ranch, the amount of homes for sale and foreclosures were astounding. For every 1 real OT baller in Lafayette you have 20 fakes.

I hear this all the time but would like to know where the info came from. Did LUS put out a report?

Very true, but certainly not limited to Lafayette.

I got to ride in one a few months back. It handled like it was on rails.
And even more relevant to the thread, it is owned by a recent ULL grad who he and his father have/had a small oilfield fracking company. Plenty of people out there with money.

I am with you on all this. Apparently we are an extreme minority on this board.

yeah that is one of those urban legends that gets repeated as fact.
I do know there was at one time a stretch where variable interest rates mortgages were busting people in the pocket and there were numerous homes in River Ranch that didnt have furniture in them. The young couples that bought the homes couldnt afford to furnish them
