    Why do 'Murican “car guys” make owning a car (well, the finance company really owns it) their whole personality?

    It’s a car

    Like dickheads who wear Harley clothing to advertise the fact that they’re afraid of going around corners and desperately need attention

      Not nearly as bad as the lady who briefly worked in my office. She had a ton of Harley-Davidson accessories. Literally the first thing she told us was that she and her husband love the brand and riding motorcycles. I asked how many Harleys they had. The answer? Zero, but they hoped to buy one someday.

      They made “hoping to own something” their whole personality.
