[QUOTE="Lastkidpicked, post: 176960, member: 237"] A conservative Mercedes would have fit, but Mark's car would not be Jock's style. Can you imagine the ribbing that Jock would take from Punk Anderson if he showed up at the Cattleman's club in Mark's Zimmer? I'm glad you brought this up, because it was one of the subtle ways the writers were showing the difference between "old money" and "new money" in Texas. Bobby rode bronc horses. Mark rode polo ponies. Old money vs. new. Bobby drove a Mercedes. Mark drove a Zimmer. Old money vs. new. Mark flies around the world, the true definition of a care free jet-setter. Bobby uses his helicopter to scout oil fields. New money vs. Old. So it makes perfect sense that the Ewings would have a helicopter and the Graisons would have a jet. [/QUOTE]
