People who proudly boast about how they never spend a dime on Epic Games, in their store, but has hundreds of free games to play with no intent to play them. Like, I don't know who is supposed to be impressed by that. Not to mention, that's not really a good method of protesting if you're someone who hates Epic Games.

You're still spending the time and effort, not to mention even bothering to have an account with them to begin with, to redeem free games that they give away. Who are you seriously trying to impress or what message are you trying to convey? Because all I see are contradictions and ironies.

It's a vehicle. It's used for transportation. Being proud of it is always weird.

not every car is used for transportation dude. many are used for recreation, for aesthetics, for self-expression, etc.

please go to a car show full of car people and lecture them how they are all weirdos, see how that works out for you.

If someone has a car to drive on closed tracks that's completely reasonable sport. Driving like an idiot on public roads is not. Most "car people" are just big children driving loud cars around pissing everyone off. There's no point in lecturing those people. They don't have the brain capacity necessary to comprehend this.

you don't know any car people. most car people are not doing that. most car folks are very very serious about driving and driving well and safely and yeah, they do not do stupid shit unless it's on a closed track or it's a rural area where there are no other cars or people to possibly hit or endanger.

what you are talking about is obnoxious assholes, who are not necessarily car people. they are just obnoxious assholes.

I drive a car. Not an extension of my penis.

Oh, I've just never had a car that transpires. Plenty of trees though
