Scum-classes and their car-buying habits

[Rushmore]

Do poor people (I believe in the UK they are called "chavs") actually like to buy cars which have ALREADY gone through the chavinazation process (tints, wraps etc)?

Or is it more that they need to make it their own by deflowering them?

So - looking a virgin Japanese hatch-back with a powerful engine: does Mr Txtspeak Knuckledragger think "Oi, booyaka, I am William Turner and you are my canvas"?

Isn't all this wrapping and tinting and making the car look more "special" (= looking like all the other idiotmobiles) some sort of bonding process? "Oi, booyaka, new kid here in our SW1 Pall Mall Dubscene Gentlemens Club - let me introduce you to our Master Wrapper Shafik Al-Hooters(MW)".

Hate'em.

HATE'EM.

Tinting/wrapping/kitting cars is hardly unique to 'poor' people is it - in fact I'd suggest that anyone who can afford to customise a car isn't really, by any meaningful definition, poor.

It might work better if you took your stereotype-enforcing specs off and tell us what you really think

Whilst i am more than happy to suggest you buy yourself a Range Rover Classic (see your other thread)............I really haven't the first clue as to what you are on about here.

Chavs and "poor people" are different things.

[Rushmore]

What would then be the best way to call them?

[McClure]

Just "Chavs". Wealth has nothing to do with it.

Bad taste in no way correlates with salary...

Quoted just to save this.

So not only a snob but a racist too?

Why? Do you have nothing more interesting in your life to worry about?

"People with differing tastes to your own"?

Napalm?

I can't figure out who actually buys the 'ready-modified' junk on eBay. As far as I can work out, people like to start off from scratch and do their own thing. Surely supply outstrips demand?

This is the sort of thread that gives ph a bad name, OP you are an idiot.

[Jez0099]

This person is a tt imho

[Rushmore]

Well - I admit that I hate criminal scum, misbehaviour on the road, wannabe racers unable to handle a car at speed, txting while driving, unnecessary noise from Halfords exhaust "silencers", loitering, littering, people hanging around in McD car parks, aggressive/threatening driving style. And first and foremost I hate the PEOPLE doing this.

Indeed. Dumb post by someone with seeming the IQ of a brain battered cuttlefish.

Work it out for yourself OP, or spew forth your bile on another forum where you dumbness is more tolerated.

[no-worries88]

Ok,you've had your (unfunny) rant.
Now hand in your PH membership and stop being a penis.

I agree with the above sentiment. The problem, OP, is that your original post implies all poor people are Chav scum. Do you also think that all black people can run fast and all Muslims are terrorists?! There. Are plenty of Chav scum driving around in brand new. White Range Rovers and Bentleys..

[R300will]

I only understood about half of what OP was saying but in essence some are lazy chavs who like to express their individualism by buying a chavved up car from their mate Baz. Others tend to be rich chavs who like to buy one brand new and then ruin it as it enables them to show off a bit more.
