It’s so adorable to see people who measure their self worth
depending on the vehicle they acquire. Seriously, one thing is to get the car
you want and enjoy your drive. That’s completely fine and I’m happy for
everyone who enjoys getting behind the wheel of a car… but thinking you are
worth more than a person because you drive a BMW or ANY luxury car is just…
well cute.
I use cute instead of douchelike, childish or ridiculous,
because I really can’t take someone seriously when they weigh people with such a
scale. For me, a car is a mode of transportation and although I recognize I’m
not your typical dude who slobbers over RPMs, horsepower and other details, I
can appreciate a good ride when I drive one.
Sure, some people may drive a certain type of car to project
something or status… reasons I’ve heard and can understand even though I don’t
necessarily prescribe to such a philosophy… but I get it. What I don’t get is
the people who look down on other people BECAUSE of what they drive… especially
when they’re tools.
To me, fancy cars are exactly the same as fancy titles like
MD, ESQ, MBA, CPA or whatever the fuck. They may mean something to someone, but
to me, I’ve met enough idiots with a PHD to not allow myself the illusion of worth
based on academic merit.
Put it this way… a person may have a PHD, but you have no
idea if they were a C student. Much the same way, a person may have a BMW, but
they might owe the fillings in their teeth. It’s all about appearances.
For me, I’ll continue being the car I drive, foreign,
inconspicuous, a good deal and surprisingly dependable.
Cheers
