When Men buy fast cars does it make up for something we are lacking?

Answer 1

I don't think it is because you men are lacking in anything, as much as you men love POWER!!! Anyone that has a son can see that anything to do with stuff that goes boom, bang, fast, and has to do with danger, all boys and men are on it!!! That is part of what sets the sexes apart.

Answer 2

I am passionate about cars and I like driving nice cars. Not because I want to show off but because I like the technology. The sad thing is that woman react to it more than I would like them to. I drove a top of the range Toyota once, and woman never reacted. I then bought a BMW a few years later, and I hate it when the first thing a woman tells me is, "Nice car". It makes me want to tie them to the car and test the manufacters claimed top speed (",) There a lot of woman that cant handle a guy with a nice car, as they tend to not look past the fast car, or the idea of dating a guy with a car like this.

Answer 3

Fast cars are a lot of fun, but they don't even come close to a fast motorcycle. A lot of men can't afford the fast cars until their kids are out of college, so the majority are old guys.

Answer 4

Sometimes, and for some men (although I think it is more an issue of poor self-esteem than of "size"). For the most part, though, I think it's about wanting to drive a fast car, enjoying the sound and feel of a high-performance vehicle in our command. Girls like to drive them too.

Answer 5

Classically , men buy fast cars because they provide excitement, machismo, status and a form of power. This is supposed to compensate or complement something that either is lacking or insufficient in their self image.

Answer 6

In my youth 18-23, i bought fast powerful cars. However, I tired of them. I have bought nothing but standard chevy & dodge 4x4 pickups since that time. I don't add accessories or big shiney wheels to them either.

Some men never grow up, and many will act like teenagers their entire lives. I have a neighbor in his late 30's that acts this way all the time. It's ridiculous. He use to use our street as a drag strip. But as of last week is spending the next 2 years in jail as he is doing time for driving on suspension, being drunk doing that, numerous times.
Judge finally tired of his crap and locked him up for long long time. LMAO about it too.

Answer 7

Not if you build it yourself homie! Just buying a fast car and rolling around in a phallic symbol shows the WORLD something that you can't hide but if you rebuild or build from the ground up (even kit cars) don't show "inadequacies" it shows ingenuity!

Answer 8

I suspect you have never owned a fast car.I had a Porsche 911 a pleasure to drive amazing acceleration.Best of all females assumed that I was very rich.So if you want to get lots of girls buy a sportscar.

Answer 9

It means we're lacking a vehicle that goes fast

Answer 10

We buy material goods that are over and above what we actually need as a way of saying to ourselves and others that we are okay - or good enough. It is a way to comfort that little voice inside that says, "you don't measure up to everyone else."

Don't believe it?

That's the number 1 selling song of advertisers. You NEED our product to be sexier and more desirable than everyone else.

And people believe and buy.
