Heck, when I graduated HS new BMW's and Benz's were pretty standard. They littered the parking lot along with vette's, 350z's, several new RSX's and even two H2's. It made my little '83 Datsun stick out like a sore thumb. But then again I also stuck out like a sore thumb making up about 25% of the minority population at that the time
Its funny how I saw nicer cars in HS than in college.
