ALT-2 Fascination and Obsession with Pimped out Vehicles

From 3arf

Success is America has been defined by your status. And there are multiple ways of showing your status or portraying a status. A lot of people have been brought up with Internet, t.v, radio, and so on. We've been programmed to consume, meanwhile... our minds are ruined.

The obsession with "pimping out" our cars stems from wanting to keep up with people, or wanting to surpass them. Let's call it an object language. Through these objects they are trying to covey a certain point to people; "look at me, I'm rich, I'm successful, don't you want to be me," or, "hey ladies, look at my car, I have no personality, so I have to depend on a fancy car in order to get laid." People find out who they are by comparing themselves to other people. For example: let's say you're in high school, (and some of the people reading this might be), and you fail a test... but everyone else passes. That would make anyone feel bad. Resulting in You thinking they're is something wrong with you because you didn't do good as everyone else. BUT, if most of the people in the class failed, just like you did, you wouldn't feel as bad, because if other people failed, it validates your action. The same is with everything, because (I've used "because a lot, haven't I), everything is relative. If you see every one has a nice car, and you have a car that reminds you of that old Adam Sandler song, It's going to make you want a nicer car. But if everyone had the same car, you wouldn't know the difference. What I'm trying to say is, is that people pimp out there cars because of a mixture of insecurities, capitalistic brain washing, showing off, and trying to keep up with the "Jonses."

But let me say one thing, some people go all out on their cars just because they like to do it; it's a project. But most people are driving a moving advertisement for their success and their mind. What we buy, wear, live, are advertisements for who we are as people. And as most of you know, advertisements really rarely have much to do with the actual product. Have you ever seen a Budweiser commercial with the frogs, or with a bunch of half naked women running around a pool? What the hell does that ave to do with beer? I'll tell you what it has to do with beer; nothing. They're just trying to appeal to you identity in order to manipulate you, so you buy the product. There sending you messages... you'll get laid if you drink this, you'll have fun, and so on. It's fake.

Have you ever seen a car where the rims are more expensive than the whole car? I laugh to myself out loud; it's a short breathy type of laugh, you might have done a couple in reading this article. I don't understand why you wouldn't just buy a better car, if you have that kind of money. I don't get it.

As long as people associate success with money and status, as well as how other people see them, people will focus on improving objects, and buying things that are completely useless. Think about it, what are chrome rims going to do for you except boost your ego and get you some attention. Your personality should be able to get you the attention you desire, if you're using objects to obtain relationships; you're going the wrong way about life. Guys, if a girl only likes you because of the car you drive, she's a hoe. Do you want to be with a hoe? maybe, you do, I don't. A matter of fact, you're a hoe too, you're just as bad as her, because you know exactly what you're doing; the only reason you bought that car and pimped it out was to attract women. And guess what, you're going to attract the wrong type of women.

Just because you're not on the street doesn't mean you're not a prostitute! If you have sex with a man because of his money, or if you marry a man just because of his money, you are a prostitute. The only difference between you and some one on the street is you have only one customer. -This article certainly went in a weird direction- But most people who pimp out their cars are guys, and a lot of guys use their car to get women; and certain women will only talk to guys with certain cars. You know what, they deserve each other. They both rely on status to get by in life, they rely on objects, instead of building relationships on bonding, experience, communication, and circumstance. If some one feels the need to show off, they're probably hiding something they don't want you to see. These, diamond chains, fancy cars, big houses, are just masks covering who we really are. This piece of writing takes off the mask. Take away the objects... what is left? let me say that again. WHAT IS LEFT?
