One uppers...

Im confused as to why people feel the need to post pictures and videos of there "boys" or "friends" cars. If its not your car then who cares because all and all we all brag about our own cars on here with the descriptions, videos and pictures. Why is there a need to post friends things I just dont get, Or someone will come into a post and be like "nice car, my boys got one making 400whp too". How is that relievent?

[edmel89]

Because they are trying to relate, and say man I know thats a fast car cause my friend has one to. I know some people are annoying how they go about it tho. lol


And I dont see anything wrong with posting pics of a friends car, I posted pics of my my cousins hondas on here. BUt I see where your going with this thread.

[J@meson]

I appreciate that you see the bigger picture... Its kinda like this thread, it opened my eyes and then saw in 3 other threads refrences to cars people dont have.

Its like someone comming in and saying "hey my car makes 800hp" then someone comes in saying "yea I know thats fast, my friend drove a Nascar at Richard Pettys driving experiance"

because when people don't have something equal of their own, they resort to the inferiority complex of vicarious projection, by saying they know someone who has something equal or better (when they could have just STFU in the first place).

we're all guilty of it at some point, but it is quite prevalent here. i wouldn't expect less though.

Its the same concept of having your neighbors come up to you when you are balls deep in your project, then distract you, just to talk about their car they owned 20 years ago.

And it pisses me off.
