People who proudly boast about how they never spend a dime on Epic Games, in their store, but has hundreds of free games to play with no intent to play them. Like, I don’t know who is supposed to be impressed by that. Not to mention, that’s not really a good method of protesting if you’re someone who hates Epic Games.
You’re still spending the time and effort, not to mention even bothering to have an account with them to begin with, to redeem free games that they give away. Who are you seriously trying to impress or what message are you trying to convey? Because all I see are contradictions and ironies.
Their vehicle.
Think of, for example, the obnoxious shitbag in his emotional support truck, or the BMW prick, and all the behaviors attributed thereto.
My neighbor gloats about how loud his electric vehicle is. He actually has a system to produce loud noise simulating a hemi engine in it. So fucking stupid
I’ve learned that EV owners are absolutely not immune to bouts of vehicular douchebaggery. But putting a vroom vroom box in your EV? That’s just a cry for help.
There’s a big open outdoor shopping mall area near me that for some reason they decided to allow people to drive in the interior streets instead of putting the garages on the edges of the area so people can park and just walk around. On Friday and Saturday evenings, idiots with pimped up cars and loud exhausts love to just drive the interior streets over and over to get maximum attention from shoppers walking around. It’s loud, obnoxious, and makes the place stink of car exhaust; not to mention a waste of gas.
I could understand it if it’s a project they work on, eg restoring it from a junkyard. For some people, their car is not just a utility they use to get around; similar to how much of my life revolves around a computer I built.
But yeah, that’s not many people. Quite a few bought theirs out of a yard.
what if your pride and joy is base level hatchback with a manual transmission?
or are you just talking about people who see autos as status symbols of their wealth and ‘success’ despite the the fact their car is objectively a moneypit POS, like a Jeep.
It’s a vehicle. It’s used for transpiration. Being proud of it is always weird.
not every car is used for transportation dude. many are used for recreation, for aesthetics, for self-expression, etc.
please go to a car show full of car people and lecture them how they are all weirdos, see how that works out for you.
If someone has a car to drive on closed tracks that’s completely reasonable sport. Driving like an idiot on public roads is not. Most “car people” are just big children driving loud cars around pissing everyone off. There’s no point in lecturing those people. They don’t have the brain capacity necessary to comprehend this.
you don’t know any car people. most car people are not doing that. most car folks are very very serious about driving and driving well and safely and yeah, they do not do stupid shit unless it’s on a closed track or it’s a rural area where there are no other cars or people to possibly hit or endanger.
what you are talking about is obnoxious assholes, who are not necessarily car people. they are just obnoxious assholes.
You drive a tree?
I drive a car. Not an extension of my penis.
Oh, I’ve just never had a car that transpires. Plenty of trees though
Whoa, I ran a used 5-speed for about a decade and totally douched out on how much I was not paying for my car.
i have a couple of friends who are stupidly addicted to their falling apart 20 year old cars, but they seem to take perverse pride in dropping $5K for a new transmission or other major repair every other year, and going on about how much they are saving buy not buying a new car…
i have one buddy with a 2004 VW and he’s spend like 20K on it in the past 4-5 years and like goes on about how new cars are all debt traps and he’ll never have a loan again… and i’m over here looking at a used Integra that’s like 2 years old and is like 25K… and won’t need any major repairs for 15+ years…
I saw one of my old friends was proposed to in front of her now fiance’s Dodge truck. He was wearing camo. She said yes!. Jesus Christ talk about lacking a personality.
his personality is his multiple DUI violations.
It’s wild to me how like people who DUI are proud of it, it’s so fucking bizarre.
