"this car better fits his personality"

Post Reply New Topic

Hey I'm from South Dakota!

I can relate to the cars because I have had a recent interest in German cars. I even learned how to do the timing belt on my Audi this summer. Different makes, models, and sizes prescribe to different lifestyles and mentalities. Audis for example appeal to efficiency and performance. People like Ford and Chevy because they are simple but tough. Many Japanese cars are called "rice burners" because sometimes idiots will drive them as if they have a souped up race car when in fact their car really is not tuned up for racing; it just gives the false impression with cheap appearance of a race car.

I have noticed that "NTs" (I hate the terminology) tend to do this on different levels with material possessions, like the brand of cigarettes they smoke or the kind of video games they play. Also, the breeds of dog they would like to own. I also tend to do this, too, but in a different manner. For example, I enjoy playing bass guitar. I like Fender precision basses because of the way they look and because Leo Fender bassically (pun) invented the electric bass. They do in a very abstract, somehow subconscious manner share details of the appearance of an upright bass, which I find aesthetically pleasing and secretive. They are also incredibly simple. An "NT" on the other hand might own a Fender to appear professional/rich or achieve a certain status. They might get one because that is what everybody else uses or because of a certain style of music that the isntrument is affiliated with.

The most annoying materialistic thing for me right now is beer. So many snobs who refuse to drink cheaper beer for political reasons and want to be perceived as a well-seasoned connoisseur who often make fun of people who drink cheap beer.

Hi bluegill,

Nice to meet you!

Sounds like you have an amazing talent for working on cars, as well as quite a musical side.

Did you name yourself "bluegill" because you play "bass" ? If so, that sounds fishy to me ...
