[Bobbyg255]

Don't put stickers on your car.

Don't get vanity plates.

You're just asking for a negative reaction.

I know these plates have gotten me out of some tickets.  I think usually because the cop feels bad for me.

In NJ I think it is still the old logo. I had them on the RV but when I bought the new RV in March, DMV screwed up and didn't transfer the plates. So now I would have to pay for the vanity option again if I want them.

Thanks yea I had them years ago on my car but I may just stick with my old ones! Anyway go Jets!

Omg that might be how I haven’t been pulled over in my Dodge Challenger GT.  Didn’t want decals on it.  
upgraded from green and white mini Cooper to green and black challenger a week before my 50th birthday.

I dunno, a thief might think you’ve suffered enough and move onto the next car if he sees a Jets license plate

I worked with a guy in the 90's, in Rockville Centre, LI who's license plate was "JetsJets".

So how do you feel about make-up, jewelry, tattoos, hairstyles, fashion, hygiene, and shaving?

I don't wear jewelry or makeup. Both are nothing more than ego boosters, I think makeup makes women age far faster than they would otherwise, and when you wake up next to them in the morning you see the face they paint on the night before isn't who they are. Tattoos, for 95% are just a call for attention like buying a muscle car when you get older unless it's something truly meaningful (something family or cultural related). Hairstyles, if you dye your hair stupid colors (green pink purple blue) you're doing so to stand out or identify as something, and it's a call for attention. Do I really need to go any further.... Fashion, when you make 12 an hour and wear $400 dollar sneakers... You guessed it, insecure, trying to score attention, and trying to associate yourself with a brand. Hygiene is a matter of health though if you want attention don't shower and tell everyone you go rock climbing. Look, you do you, and if you want vanity plates get them while remembering that not every joke you hear on the internet is a call to arms (the previous post was a joke as to why would you announce being a jets fans seeing as they've been horrible).  If people feel the need to live vicariously and partially forge their identity through identifying with a sports team that's their choice. Same as any other attribute mentioned above, and if you truly believe in what you are doing it doesn't matter what others may say.

Nah, I don't eat cereal. An answer is something that happens after a person asks a question. 😉

Ok, I'll bite -- b/c I partially agree. At least on the personal presentation front. I find women's contemporary pursuit of Kardashianism to be mostly disgusting -- and male ego flexing has become more low brow than ever before. That said, such things has having your own personal brand in appearance shouldn't boiled down to completely an exercise in vanity - as you're eluding to.

So what does healthy/condone-worthy peacocking look like, and what do you do on saturday nights?

By the way, I don’t even have a car. I’m just surprised that anyone would bother to psychoanalyze someone based on one minor decision when many things we do we do in order to project some sense of self externally. I assume you wouldn’t wear a wetsuit to a funeral. So I struggle to understand your position here — conforming is bad because it demonstrates that you care too much what others think, but so is not conforming because that can be a call for attention…

As @Paradis stated agree with some of the above as well.

Regarding muscle cars and speaking for myself in this case, we could not afford them as teenagers when they were introduced into the market. If we were fortunate enough to save some money and have a job where we could afford one later in life, we would purchase one.

It is not status, trying to be like others or any other reason than we always liked the car and now it is attainable.

Now if you want to have a discussion regarding sneakers that purposely look worn and cost $600 - I am with you. But as others have stated, what is wasteful or a cry for attention to some is simply their choice.

I agree. We're all individuals, and will present a front that ones self finds pleasing. I'm certainly not advocating that we all wear drab Mao pants suits, and shun individual expression.

However, in my opinion, there comes a point where you aren't accenting who you are as a person with your sense of style, and are instead acting in a manner solely to attract attention because you're somewhat if not entirely empty as a person. A tv tells you that 'this style / trait / behavior' will make you popular, cool, or belonging to a group so people roll with it (it's why people need the newest iPhone each year or leave the authentic sticker on their yankees hat they overpaid for). I see vanity, as opposed to a healthy sense of self, as a defense mechanism often displayed by people who are insecure so they have to accentuate / show off what they believe is a strength to hide their poor sense of whatever. Unfortunately many people think material (clothes, jewelry, tattoos, a car) can replace substance of character. 

My Saturday nights? Not eventful generally. I don't find myself going out looking for love in all the wrong places. I meet people naturally out in the world as opposed to going to a bar in an attempt to score with some tart (you're welcome Trotter 🤣) who's potentially living check to check, possibly because she spends so much on pancake make up trying to push an image that doesn't resemble who she really is.

Sure, if you're a car guy and that's your passion I get it. That's different than the guy who buys the 800hp car that he can't drive, would never mod or work on himself, but wants everyone to see that he has it as he struggles through his mid life crisis. As I stated in the quoted post.... "Same as any other attribute mentioned above, and if you truly believe in what you are doing it doesn't matter what others may say. "

Agreed. Like on south park where ironically the goth kids who aren't conformists actually are. I didn't psychoanalyze anyone. I made a joke about jets vanity plates.

I get it and as stated earlier, I do agree with alot of what you state - except of course when you went to the gaudy tramp. That went too far. 😀

 Fixed it for you... Having worked with women for so long and heard how they talk to each other about men I don't mind how I talk about a generalized person on the internet. Almost everything out of their mouths at work was 'sexist' which makes it hilarious when they complain about working in a man's world as they aren't any different in that respect.
