[INTJ] INTJs; Inferior Se; And Horrible Taste in Automobiles...

Yeah, I know. And they say ExxP's are the ones that derail threads :steam:

Thread: INTJs; Inferior Se; And Horrible Taste in Automobiles...

Totally on topic.

I recently got the fun of trying one of these out for 15 minutes up a motorway.

Great fun but somewhat like trying to ride an unstable stallion -although admittedly the road conditions were poor (a bit icy)- not something I would ever wish to drive every day but it'd be super to take it around a racetrack.

Best car (alright 4x4) I've ever driven :

Landcruiser GXR in the desert, had a manual so it was great fun and really easy to handle regardless of terrain.

Exactly. That's what I was thinking.

This is probably the only vehicle that I dislike.

I like cars if I need them, otherwise they are just things. Boring to think about for more than one minute, whether they are cool or old or flashy or bad-tasty or big or polluting... whatever.

I find the (mostly elderly, right?) INTJ-car fetish kinda cute though, flashing aspirational Se, and trying to play the James Bond-fantasy for a short while. You know, the inf-Se mouse dancing with the dom-Se elephant while shouting "wow - are we making some noise, buddy!!!"


But if I meet somebody (apart from cute INTJs being oneminded and confessing their James Bond fantasy obliviously) who is trying to chat me up about their car / clothes / garden / house / salary / shoes / makeup / work-out / PC-game for more than a minute I will definitely brand them as Mr. or Ms. Boring, Selfcentred, Shallow Person and try to sneak away.


(Ahem, yeah, I guess aspirational Si would likely show up when ENxPs do sloppy make-up and play the Expensive Lady or decorate a tiny corner of the house to play Mrs. Perfect Housewife for, like, 2 short seconds, before tripping over their own heels, while discussing politics and forgetting all about crossing their legs for decency... )

Audi R8 - for the way it drives, not the way it looks. It doesn't exactly have a subtle look.

Wasn't this the car in Iron Man?

^ Actually I might change my settings to that....if the internet is acting goofy too many pages can be annoying!

 

[uumlau]

Yeah, I find 100 posts per page most convenient except for pictures/movies threads, in which case the small size of the pages speeds things up a bit, especially if you only care about the last 20 or so posts.

One of the options in your UserCP, is to stop the IMG tags from autolaunching pics. But it can be a pain if you want to see every pic since you have to click on each of the links to launch.

How did this morph into an auto-erotic, show us you c*** thread?

A car's purpose is to move you from one location to another in comfort and safety. A good "average" car will do that 99% as well as an obscenely expensive one. I don't see the point of paying big bucks just for a feeling of superiority over other men. I'm not saying it's morally deprave to do so, just that it is irrational. It's funny that NTs are the predominant defender of this value here.

What's funny is that you presume superiority here, when, in actuality, your Ni is so underdeveloped that you can't see other reasons why people like the cars they do, and your Fi is so underdeveloped that you're still throwing around subjective value judgments like a teenager. Oh, and you also have a weak understanding of rationality and irrationality.

Why do you like expensive cars? If it's rational, you should be able to articulate it without being offended. You feel good because.......

I appreciate a marvelous piece of engineering.

Define rational, and then show me how it is irrational to like nice cars.

Because they often represent the pinnacle of available vehicle technology.

Because they can be beautiful.

Because they are (much more often than not) made well, using excellent materials.

Because they go fast and that excites me.
