Why are people in the car community so bitter?
Because their hobby is being killed
Very visible display of socioeconomic disadvantage and jealousy
>>28211178Social media is the reason
faggots being faggots on their faggot 4chan secret club imageboard isn't representative of 'the community'; whatever the hobby or niche
>>28211189I noticed O has no impact on car culture so whatsoever lol. Boards like pol have an effect on political culture tho . Look at 2024 x twitter. Its basically pol in 2016.
>>28211178Social media turned everyone hypercompetitive in a bad way
>>28211178By and large it does appear to be a low IQ hobby. Obviously it varys widly depending on your specific niche (guys into old french cars are a different breed to chally wally street takeover crows for example), but for the most part retards abound.
>>28211210*crews, not crows
>>28211183>>28211210Basically just this. Low IQ poorfags seething at people who can actually afford the hobby.It's why the most common seethe in the car community is "anyone who buys *insert expensive sports car* is a retard because *insert cheap shitbox* can be faster with mods for 1/10th the price".
>>28211178Cars kind of suck as a hobby. The barely are even acceptably functional as appliances. So much money and bullshit to have a good experience with a car and you still know that you’ll have to keep putting more money into a continuously depreciating asset that is slowly degrading into a shitbox as all cars do with time. Because of the way the industry functions getting your hands on the car you actually want can be difficult or even impossible (try to find a clean unmodded low miles 350z in 2025) and even if you manage to get the car you want in decent condition you still have to find parts. And even if you figure all of that shit out you could still wreck it
>>28211178People should just stop comparing and be proud of the cars they own
Stop going on online forums

>>28211210Motorsports has a significant iq floor and self awareness required Non-motorsports "Car guy" ism attracts the worst people. It's basically women's $20,000 handbags but $20,000 is entry level
>>28211259I think this goes also for guys who meticulously restore cars to autistic degrees of perfectionism and get their kicks from knowing intimately about the inner workings of stuff. Like that M539 restorations guy for example off the top of my head, he seems cool. I agree that treating cars like status symbols or funko pops is retarded.
>>28211234>>28211264This.
>>28211259howcar prices start at $300, is that equivalent to a 20k handbag?
high gas pricesdelusional dealer mark upsdelusional used car valuesneed i say more?
>>28211214Maybe not everyone is a mental 12 year old who never outgrew their "gHURR sooper cars" phase. Fast shitbox is funny
>>28211803case in point
Because if you don't have the biggest, baddest build then you aren't keeping up with the Joneses. And if you don't keep up with the Joneses then you are a loser nobody that deserves ridicule for being so poor and stupid.
The government keeps making cars faggier and faggier.
>>28211210>varys
>>28211178crabs in a bucket
>>28211214>only expensive things are goodgood goy

>>28211214>can be faster with mods for 1/10th the priceIts funny because people with slow faggot (front wheel drive) shitbox car owners will talk about "le slow car fast is fun" and then turn around and say "well I can make my car faster than your expensive car for cheaper if I wanted"
>>28211803there are people on this Internet forum who think the Honda fit is a more fun car to drive than a Bugatti Chiron. these people argue with me in other threads about cars, and I sometimes take their opinions seriously this thought frightens me
>>28213777>there are people here who give thought to an unobtainable car beyond it's technical advancements and even pretend to know how it drivesWaste of trips. You'd need a ton of money and space to go balls out with a hypercar but you can do it with a shitbox no matter where or how poor you are. I suppose that a chiron may be capable of more fun in the right conditions, but I don't see the point in benchracing "fun" so for all practical purposes, the fit wins.
>>28213775>front wheel driverent free. you dont even own a car.
because car guys on 4chan are midwit normalfaggots from poor backgrounds that have too much emotions. Most of them are unable to handle those emotions, which relegates them to a tough blue collar life. Then they look at all the new cars rolling around and think "boy I wasn't this retarded to be able to afford them. No to worry, I'll start coping right away"
>>28211625>$300 carwhere and how?
>>28211178Because we've been on the front lines of enshittification since 1971
>>28211178My general observation is that the majority of "car guys" are unathletic losers who turned to cars as a crutch to help them "become cool" without any special ability on their own behalf.
>>28213855Right, I forget that all of you are worthless poors that belong in a mass grave.
Everybody buys as much car as they can afford and then becomes super tribal about it cause changing makes/models/trims is a fucking life event unless you are extremely wealthy (for ages 18-50) or old and retired.
>>28213855>how poor you areThats the point. I fear that ive spent so much time on this Internet forum arguing with worthless poorfaggots.
>>28214474>Everybody buys as much car as they can affordThe arguments become: >less expensive/slower/older car than mine is a faggot shitbox>more expensive car/faster/newer than mine is for compensating people who go into debtPeople just can't put their egos aside. They can't accept that there are people who are more successful than them who can attain better cars than them.
