Think of it as the nice clubs in Vegas or whatever. last year I went there with a group, and we all planned to meet at some new trendy club with *gasp* a dress code! And of course at least one of the guys wasn't allowed in because he was wearing tennis shoes. Also the rest of his clothes were just barely making the cut as well, I'm sure. He was bitching and complaining, but you know what? It was time for the boy to grow up and start wearing clothes that present an appropriate image of him--he's an educated professional with a good job, and a more than decent salary. Its fine to not be materialistic, and want to dress like a high-schooler if one wants to, but don't be surprised to be treated like one.
For the record though, in my mind it's much more about how clean and well-taken care of something is--clothes, car, living quarters, etc. than about superficials. Although I suppose a paint job could be viewed as maintenance.
