"Hayseeds" as you refer also have little knowledge of many of the nuances of metropolitan life. Much of what they know is gleaned from severe stereotypical lore available from their local media (newspaper, TV, etc.)...similar in kind to how many of us assume we know "redneck" culture.

My wife is from a "hayseed" town, and the sight of a MB is quite rare! This is logical , in that import repair facilities are just as rare, so domestic vehicles are about all you see. So as luxury goes, the Cadillac would be the marque to own in that neck of the woods.

Trying to explain to folks what we do for a living is a fruitless task, as the locals can only identify with basic careers such as lawyer, doctor, etc. "Technical Writer" or "Programmer Analyst" means nothing!
