so much this.
normies always talk about whatever the latest status symbol is. despite how appealing it is to a car enthusiast or not.
"i think teslas are cool, i love cars
"
"i saw a rapper drive a hellcat, i like hellcats
"
"i want a LAMBo like tate bro, i'll get so many bitches
"
literally zero interest in driving, the satisfaction of interacting with a powerful machine, none of that. It's all about status and attracting fucking foids. it's always superficial and surface level.
I don't even tell normies i'm a car enthusiast, cause i'd do exactly what you did, start talking about the beauty of induction noise and they'd look at me like "wtf bro you're a nerd why do you like cars that much. i just wanna look fly in a lambo"
