Car Snobs - I Despise Them

[aaron_2000]

I can't be the only one who despises people who look down on other people because they don't drive the same leased car as them? I take st for driving an ST170, guess what, I'm 18, I can't afford to drive the same generic blue leased Golf R as everyone else, and I couldn't stomach driving the same leased Ibiza FR as everyone my age either. I'd say it angers me, but it's just sad to see, I can't help but think it adds to my enthusiasm for cars dying more and more. I'm sure I'll take st on this too before it turns into another lease thread.

You seem to have serious issues with people that lease cars???

You state about them looking down on you but in actual fact you’re trying to look down on them because you own your car and theirs is leased!

What is ownership? When you’re dead the car won’t be yours or theirs just the same

Show me where I said I have a problem with people who lease cars? It was used as an example...

OP, how many 18 year olds do you know that are driving Golf Rs and Leon FRs?

I have 4 friends all driving Ibiza FR's, never even mentioned the LEon

Worst "I have a sanitary towel" thread evar.

Definitely needs moar dragons.

(I drive a leased M240i, hate at me bro).

Again, show me where I said I have an issue with leased cars? My parents have a leased 340i? And I just find it sad that people are s enough to look down on what other people drive, especially when they have nothing to back it up with.

Just sounds to me like you are jealous of these people since you mentioned both cheap cars and expensive ones...

I have 0 interest in ever owning a new car, nor do I care what my car costs to buy. I won't bother explaining that I have no issue with leased cars as no-one is going to bother paying attention to it.

treeroy said:

If you have no issue with them then why have you started a thread moaning about it?
I mean you claim they look down on you but have not given any examples of this...

The title looks to be about car snobs, not leasing. Plenty of threads on leasing already

I just got a price for my nearly 18yo son to drive an ST170 and he could nearly buy a Golf R for the same price. Who the hell is insuring the OP?

Nobody. Anyway he’s probably gone to bed by now, school in the morning.

I work in IT. I pay dead on £2900 to insure it, that's who the hell is insuring the OP. Shouldn't you have work in the morning?

18 years old?

You haven't even finished university at 18 so shouldn't even be in a car.
Have no plans to go to uni, going into IT contracting in the Cyber Security field when I finish working towards my CEH.

Where has Aaron, from the year 2000, gone?
I note he seemed keen to pile in on other threads but doesn’t seem to fancy defending his position on this one!
Has he flounced?
Snowflake generation eh!

I work, what is there to defend? I said my thoughts, I'm not the kind of person to spend my mornings and nights arguing with people I'll never meet/want to meet online over absolutely nothing.

OP - you’re not going to walk into a cyber security role with no experience at 18 just because you manage to pass CEH. Seriously.

Don;t recall saying that, that's what I'm working towards. How is it a thread about snobs turns into this? Absolutely astounding.

[aaron_2000]

I see this has turned into a stfest, exactly as I said it would. Nice seeing 'adults' act like this, gives me much hope for the future
