You care what cars your friends buy?
- thwayunion 4y agoNo one cares that their friend has a porsche, but everyone in a porsche imagines other people noticing them at the stoplight and the ego boost is a non-zero contributor to their purchase decision. Ditto for any upmarket car. The F-150 isn't America's most popular vehicle because so many Americans need a truck...
- ThatPlayer 4y agoI don't think asking your peer's opinions about upcoming big ticket item purchases is too unusual. Especially just as small talk in general.
- gnicholas 4y agoSure, people give their two cents all the time. But that's different from caring what decision the person makes at the end of the day. I can't imagine telling a friend that I care what car they buy.
