Why is the car such a status symbol in the USA? I was watching a documentary about custom cars on the west coast and it made me think. A basketball player gave an interview, when he was asked why is he spending so much money on customizying his car when his car is already extremely expensive. His answer was "If I spent so much money on this car, I don't want to see someone else have the same car."
So my question is? Isn't the point of a car to take you from point A to point B? Of course, it can be comfortable and whatever and it makes sense to customize it so that YOU would feel better, but not so that it would show off how much money you have. I know a lot of people who have really mean cars, but don't have anything to eat. Does them having an expensive car make them someone??
