Why is /o/ like this?
Jealous kids with their sour grapes, it is what it is.
People are retarded

>>28922745The guy is mad that people don't jerk him off for his leased shitbox. He didn't want a car, he wanted to buy respect. Very shameful.
Mercedes makes trash now
>>28922748Nice 2014 Kia Optima
>>28922745sour grapes
>>28922745Do any luxury brands still have nice physical controls and actual gauges instead of 2 cheap screens? Mercedes interiors are hideously garish now.
>>28922745>reddit thinks he can buy his way to having friends>why is /o/ like thisMercs are driven by Romanians and Pakis in this country btw
>>28922861This is called "projection". You've just told us that the only reason you would buy a nice car is to make people like you.
>>28922745How is it that reddit/twitter screencap threads weren't shut down the second they started showing up? It's obvious bot spam, so why don't the mods do their fucking jobs?
>>28922911Not the case here. I'm antisocial, only post on 4chan, and live in a sea of beer cans. I cannot see the floor. I'm high and drinking tequila at 8am.
>>28922745to rile people up, yank their chain, do a little bit of trolling
>>28922917man what a life.
>>28922917That's crazy how I explained the concept to you so simply and you still couldn't understand it
>>28922748You don't need to tell us about yourself Samir
>>28922930I understood what you meant, and I've seen that be a thing, but that's not what's happening here. I have little urge to impress anyone or "look rich," I am driven by cheap thrills and the art of engineering. I don't want women to respect me, I just want to put my dick in them.I am wearing a T-shirt from middle school, I'm almost 40.
>>28922947You didn't understand. Projection isn't what you do, but how you interpret others actions. Someone buys an expensive car, you assume they only did it to impress others. That's you projecting your own insecurities onto them. To you, the only reason to buy an expensive car is to impress people. That doesn't mean you bought an expensive car to impress people, but that you would if you could, because that's the only reason you can think of to own one
>>28922977>Projection isn't what you do, but how you interpret others actions. Someone buys an expensive car, you assume they only did it to impress others. That's you projecting your own insecurities onto them.Or, alternatively, I've lived almost 40 years and seen how people act. Imagine that.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fox_and_the_Grapes>>28922911Lmao this. The fake car enthusiasts expose themselves, ironically, when they say "You bought a premium sport sedan, no one cares about that bro, you're a fake car enthusiast"
>>28922987nta but people don't magically stop projecting when they get older. projecting affects the way you interpret the actions of others. basically everyone projects all the time. anyway i don't really care so whatever.
>>28922987"Not that 'anon'," to use the parlance of our times, but your age has nothing to do with the idea that you are projecting lolYou're saying that people ONLY buy "nice" cars to impress others which is hilariously disingenous
>>28922991Kek and they never post a recommendation when you ask "ok what's a faster and more luxurious car for the same amount of money?"
>>28922745>He's not investing 200k a year plus buying a sports car Incomelet
>>28922993Suuuuure. When I think of Mercedes I think of the power and long wheelbase that would be good for drifting. I don't think it'll make people like me, in fact, I'd assume people would hate me for driving a merc. So, where's the projection? I'm just relaying what I've seen in people who do buy such cars.Look at my room, I took this picture for this post, does this look like a guy who would want to impress people with a fancy car, or a guy who likes redlining for the rush?Projection is a thing, but it isn't the case every time someone says they don't like something.
>>28923000> I'd assume people would hate me for driving a merc. So, where's the projection? It's right there, dudeWhy would you assume people will hate you simply for driving a nicer car than them?
>>28922994>You're saying that people ONLY buy "nice" cars to impress others which is hilariously disingenousNo, I'm not. I'm from a wealthy family.Look at the pic in OP, he's complaining that people don't respect him just because he drives a Mercedes. If he liked his car for himself he wouldn't give a shit. Loads of people make fun of the cars I like, you probably do. I don't go out of my way making posts with pseudonyms about how much the people that make fun of my car are wrong, and how acktchually, I'm better than them.
>>28923004>Look at the pic in OP, he's complaining that people don't respect him just because he drives a MercedesNo, the OP pic shows people DISrespecting them BECAUSE they mentioned a German car lol
>>28923002"Oh they hate me for it," "oh they're so jelly," "Oh, bitches love me for it." C'mon, that's exactly what I'm talking about. People who say shit like that ARE obsessed with how people perceive them (see OP pic). I can consider how people perceive me, but it does not influence what cars I purchase.
>>28923004>he's complaining that people don't respect him just because he drives a MercedesHe's not though. That's how you interpreted it because you have a preconceived notion that people only buy a Mercedes to impress people. The point OP was actually making was that if you buy a nice car, people will get mad and intentionally go out of their way to try to make you feel bad about having a nice car.
>>28923007Nah, the guy in that pic is delusional and confuses banter for hatred because he ties having an expensive car to his ego.>"trying to look rich instead of being rich!"Projection, anyone?
>>28923011Lol where are those "quotes" from?No one's crying that "ohhh they hate me and are jealous!"They're asking why you think that in the first place lol
>>28923014>The point OP was actually making was that if you buy a nice car, people will get mad and intentionally go out of their way to try to make you feel bad about having a nice car.Bro, people will go out of their way to try to make yo mad for liking anything. Anything. "picachu weeb bullshits," anyone? It's just funny when these men with the fanciest shit get absolutely booty-blasted when anyone says something. When someone calls me a ricer I just go "okay."
>>28923015Calling someone a dumbass or giving shitty advice isn't "banter" lolAt least not from where I'm fromWhich is the West Coast Best Coast 100% of which is comprised by CALIFORNIA
>>28923020You drive automatics.
>>28923018Asking why other people are mad that the person has a nicer car than them isn't being, ugh, "booty-blasted," to use the ebonics of our timesThose pikachu weeblet bullshits are literally just that
>>28923021Faster and more luxurious than your grandma's MONSTER TRUCK *shrug nigmoji*
>>28923024>"nicer car"See?I genuinely would rather my $4k RWD/manual/LSD/4-wishbones than any BMW ever made. That's my preference. You seem to think that a badge should me people respect you, and that's what I'm calling out.
>>28923000dude internet arguments aside if that's seriously your surroundings right now you need to get your shit together. that's fucking crazy.
>>28922745Poor fags have this cope where they’re actually smart for driving around a loud slow boring uncomfortable Toyota with a broken AC and rusted out exhaust. It’s called cope.
>>28923027See what?Your preference doesn't change how nice a car is You liking something doesn't make it better qualityIt's like nerds can't be objective about ANYTHING Why is that?
>>28923028I'm sitting in that chair right now! It's not that bad.
>>28923014Online maybe. No one goes out of their way to make me feel bad in real life at all.
>>28923032>Your preference doesn't change how nice a car is>You liking something doesn't make it better qualityThat's exactly what I'm talking about. Liking something because it does what I like it to reliably for little money IS quality. Costing more money is not necessarily quality, look at Apple. I used to be a mechanical engineer in quality engineering, if any of your BMWs had ABS/TSC/ESP hydraulic units from '07-'12 I may have played a part in your vehicle's production.
>>28923040>Liking something because it does what I like it to reliably for little money IS qualityNo it isn'tThat's just your preference and YOUR reason for itYou didn't describe QUALITY at allI never mentioned COST either
>>28923043So, how do you define quality?What makes a car worth it to you?
>>28922745I found that 9/10 times it is because your car specifically is either shit or unknown to the general populace. Come with a generic Mercedes or 911 and most people won't be whining about your financial choices. .5/10 is someone who is just jealous that they don't have a nice car, and the rest is someone who does know cars who finds some fault in yours.
>>28923043The people with shitboxes will never understand. Notice how cost is always a major part of his argument. He mentions a the 4k Miata in every thread.
>>28923044Why do you want me to make up a definition for something that's very clearly definedCome nowYou know?Q U A L I T Y
>>28923049I know who they areI'm trying to show them the flaws in thwir logic
>>28923055I don't WANT to drive a gigantic automatic BMW though.If if costed more and I wanted it more I'd get that. But I don't like that sort of thing. I'm from a very wealthy upbringing, I live on a large multi-million dollar compound with a lake and forests. Everyone had the fanciest top-trim German cars growing up and I just never got excited about them. When I was in uni my mom had a 6-spd S4 and my Impretzle was faster in every single way. I just like having fun. I'm more willing to take risks in a car that costs less to repair or replace, and I'm here for the thrills.
>>28923027>I genuinely would rather my $4k RWD/manual/LSD/4-wishbones than any BMW ever madedrop the wishbones and you just described a bmw
>>28923075Ok but what does ANY of that have to do with Q U A L I T Y ?>6-spd S4 and my Impretzle was faster in every single way.That isn’t true at ALL I don’t even like vws but can you just not be so fuckin disingenuous
>>28923090My M5 is on Double Swiss Bonez, baby
>>28923090True, but you missed the $4k part.And the part where miatas are easy and cheap as fuck to work on. Look at this shit (my current car). 1/3rd of the bay is just intake tubing. It's so ridiculously easy to maintain. I'll take a power hit for lighter weight and 1/10th the price.
>>28923099Uh, it's true. I had an '06 STi with a 19psi tune and a used downpipe. It was faster than that V8 6-spd S4 in every fucking way. 0-60, top speed, braking, cornering.
>>28923105Ok but those things are too ugly to consider in the first placeAlso too slow to considerAnd too gay to considerAlso anything less than 6 cylinders is a dealbreakerAnd convertibles are gay as fuck
>>28923105bmws are cheaper than miatas. exotic japanese sports cars are expensive.
>>28923109Ah, so you ARE only concerned with how people perceive you. Big surprise.
>>28923110>bmws are cheaper than miatasWut? Do you live in Europe?
>>28923114yes. they are cheaper in america too. check the used market if you don't believe me.
>>28923108Why are you comparing MODIFIED cars to stock ones under the pretense that they’re faster in economy commuter form kekWhy are you even telling us your preferences of cars like that has anything to do with their inherent Q U A L I T Y ?
>>28923105car enthusiast>>28922991"how he is perceived" enthusiastanyways bait thread garbage, if you need approval from other people about your car you're a loser and should kill yourselfall fields
>>28923117I have, and I don't believe you.I just bought a mint rust free manual 1.8 for 4k as said before. I've owned miatas for 12 years, it's hilarious how cheap they are to maintain. Where's this mythical 2,200 lb BMW?
>>28923123yes bmws are heavier and more expensive to keep. that's why they are cheaper. you do need another 1k for the lsd, they all come with open diffs.
>>28922879Anyone who says "in this/my country" instead of actually stating their country is either brown or a slav and is embarassed of living there
>>28923111?They're ugly as fuckThey're slow as fuckThey're gay as fuckI (me personally) find all those things to be dealbreakersHow does any of that have ANYTHING to do with how I'm perceived or literally anything about me in the first place LOL
>>28923122So only liking ugly slow gay cars makes on an enthusiast?The OP isn't looking for validation lol they are asking why people act like how you're acting when nice cars are brought up
>>28922748>>rice cf canards>>ali baba mutt lip>>666ms in the year of our Lord 26How are you so brown, Pablito.>>28922864Based, M4s aged to look like try-hard Korean shit now
sorry anon i had to. please get help.
>>28923124My M5 came with an LSD///M cars all have LSDs
>>28923133i'm talking about the pleb bmws not the fancy $10k+ supercars
>>28923119>Why are you comparing MODIFIED cars to stock ones under the pretense that they’re faster in economy commuter form kekBecause it's what I had and what she had at the time? Can't imagine.I had, at most, $600 in mods. I spent all my money on uhhhh...
>>28923130>Get helpI will do no such thing."Help" is usually a redditor who thinks prozac works for everything, not because he believes it, but because it makes his job easier.I do live on a large compound.
>>28923127>So only liking ugly slow gay cars makes on an enthusiast?not what I said. liking the car for the nature of the car itself makes you an enthusiast. liking the car for things like how it compares to the cars you see other people driving makes you a pretentious, elitist dickhead. "my car is better" reeks of insecurity>OP isn't looking for validationhe is by posting about people's comments towards his car preferences on reddit, the mercedes subreddit no less
>>28923135>my Impretzle >now a MODIFIED stiWhich are STILL slow, by the way
>buying a fast car new>"poser, clout chaser, fake car enthusiast">buying the exact same car, 20 years later>"real car guy"Explain
>>28923142Okay? I enjoy them. That's what matters. I've had both a modified STi and a base model over the years, yes.I've driven over 175mph on the street, have you?
>>28923141>liking the car for the nature of the car itself makes you an enthusiastNo it doesn't lol. Liking mcdonalds doesn't make you a cooking enthusiast >liking the car for things like how it compares to the cars you see other people driving makes you a pretentious, elitist dickhead. LOL how does liking a car because it's better than other cars make you pretentious?!> "my car is better" reeks of insecurityLiterally no one said that THOUGH>posting about people's comments towards his car preferences on reddit, the mercedes subreddit no lessHow do you know OP even likes Mercedes?The point is people start acting exactly how you're acting whenever nice cars are brought upWhy is that?
>>28922745Why would anyone give a shit what others think about their vehicle?
>>28923148Just because you like something doesn't make it good>I've driven over 175mph on the street, have you?Kek no you haven't Your constant disingenuousness is Occam's RazorAnd I mean, I literally at cruise at 99mph in my SLOW car kek
