kaya context dudes

sa states kasi kahit sino pwede mag car loan makabili ng accord, rav4 etc

so rich people there separate themselves from the masses by driving BMWs and Mercs etc

dito sa 3rd world Pinas where the masses commute or use single motor ung makabili lang ng econocar feeling rich na mayabang na

"I had noticed that the ones most likely to run a red light, not give way to pedestrians and generally drive recklessly and too fast were often the ones driving fast German cars," Helsinki University's Jan-Erik Lönnqvist said in a press release.

He set out to discover what kind of person is more likely to buy an expensive car, creating a personality test of Finnish car owners.

"The answers were unambiguous: self-centred men who are argumentative, stubborn, disagreeable and unempathetic are much more likely to own a high-status car such as an Audi, BMW or Mercedes," the press release states.

"These personality traits explain the desire to own high-status products, and the same traits also explain why such people break traffic regulations more frequently than others," Lönnqvist added.
His study cited previous research that indicated drivers behind the wheel of a costly vehicle are more likely to flout traffic regulations or drive recklessly.

What does it say about those who lease cars? Anyone can lease a premium brand car. In fact, Scotty Kilmer says to lease Audis, BMWs, and MBs instead of buying to own because they become money pits as they age. Perhaps, a leasee is more likely to abuse cars and be a dickhead because repair and maintenance costs will be on the leaser. Kinda like rental cars which are abused all the time.

Me? I buy and keep my cars until they either fall apart or donate it.

The real a**holes I see on the road usually drive pickup trucks or SUVs. They also tend to be women. They outnumber kids who drive tuner cars.

See?

focus on the ugali not the brand coz "high-status cars" may be different in other areas

btw people with those traits also tend to break traffic rules

"the same traits also explain why such people break traffic regulations more frequently than others"

Many pickup trucks and SUVs are priced north of US$50k once amenities are added in. So, they're not exactly cheap. Most motorists I've seen here who drive German and Japanese luxury brands and V8 sedans are actually well-behaved.

See what cars the knuckleheads I caught on dashcam drive. None of them are premium brands.
