What your new car really means?

Question

There is something I'm going to share about buying a new car. Something perhaps disturbing to consider for those not ready to confront their own mortality;

Buying a new car is nothing more then a deep seated denial of one's looming death.

Buying a new car is a ritual, designed to "Ward off" your rapidly depleting youthfulness. There is a "Cult" of youthfulness in America!

Buying a new car is a "Talisman" to use against showing your signs of aging and henceforth, your own impending death.

"You are what you drive" goes the saying. So, if you are driving an rusty old car, it means YOU are old. Therefore by association. And hence, just that much closer to death!

Don't you notice that the older people get, the more "Youthful and stylish" their new car gets? They think they are being rejouvenated by the new car.

Answer 1

It means I could have bought 3-5 old cars. Instead of buy a brand new nissian, I could buy 5, 5! sunfires ^_^

Answer 2

There only some truth to that. I like driving luxury cars because the comfortable and they ride nice. I wouldn't feel I had to drive "sporty" to make myself feel young, but it does happen. Not just to everyone like you stating

Answer 3

..interesting...

Answer 4

yes i agree to it.

Answer 5

your view is nothing new.

Answer 6

a new car for me means I've either won the lottery or lost my mind.

going to a "dealer" means an extra 3-5k added to the cost, plus the ritual of kissing your rear while stealing your wallet.

they should just call them "car wheeler dealers".

Answer 7

Gets me from A to B. Did you know the bigger car a guy drives smaller are his appendages. He thinks if he buys a big car it compensates, for what he hasn't got.

Answer 8

and that your car loses value right when you drive it out of the dealership.
