[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP why do you care so much what strangers think of your car?[/quote]

Because some of us are normal and are social animals so we care what others think of us to a healthy degree. [/quote]

You sound very insecure and materialistic. The Q7 is a boring and rapidly-depreciating Volkswagen that is only status symbol if your social circle is made up entirely of middle-aged suburban soccer moms.[/quote]

I should have clarified, I'm not the OP. I don't particularly like the Q7, it's too low-key for me. I like driving exciting cars that look great inside and out and the Q7 would not do it for me. My reply is to point out that normal people are social animals and therefore care about what others think of them. So long as this is at a healthy level, it is not a sign of insecurity or overly materialistic behavior. To the contrary, anyone who doesn't care what others think of them is abnormal on the spectrum of human behaviors, some are even autistic. [/quote]

Buying an expensive status car [b]just [/b]because you have this internal need to impress strangers is not a healthy behavior exhibited by people with normal levels of confidence and self-worth. A lot of people do it sure, but that doesn’t mean it’s normal or healthy. [/quote]

Strawman. No one recommended buying expensive cars *JUST* for the need to impress strangers. You are imagining things. Seek professional help. [/quote]

I live a happy and fulfilled life without requiring validation from strangers on the road. I was going to suggest therapy to help with improving your sense of self-worth but after car payment/clothes/dinners out/minimum payments on consumer debt there’s probably not a lot left over. [/quote]

Either you are truly anti-social, which I doubt, or you are simply not self aware enough to admit that you, too, care about what others think of you. Do you pick out flattering clothes? Wear make up? Style your hair? Behave politely in public? If so, then these are all ways in which you are seeking validation from strangers in public. It's perfectly natural and normal because humans are social animals. [/quote]
