Default Re: Why do people spend so much time and money on cars?

People enjoy spending in different areas, but why are people spending so much relative to their incomes?

It's probably because their car is a combination of self identity, hobby, and home project. And if you hang out with a bunch of car buddies, you don't want to be left behind when modding your car.

It's sorta like if all your friends go to expensive restaurants every other day. Even if your income can't afford spending $50/dinner 4 times a week, if the people you hang out with are going out so often . . .
