Of Make Up and Bodykits

This thought just come to mind...

What girls thinks about cars are like what guys think about make up.


One example is that we guys know that she's wearing make up, maybe notices the lipstick and eyeliner but, what we don't know is how much time (I'll assume plenty) it takes to do the other stuff like foundation and the likes of it, whereby the products probably fill up the whole dresser.


Where as girls notices that a car that has been modified looks different. Kinda how we notice the make up. Different. If the car has an aftermarket sport rims, a bodykit and some blaring speakers that rocks the windows, judder it till it shatters and probably disorientating someone who just ate too much burgers, point is the girl would just say, "hmmm.." with one side of the eyes squinting. In short, just like girls and make up, they probably don't know how much research, shopping around and trips to the bodyshop to make it look at it is.

Like us, we admire sport cars, they do the same just like how we notice a bomb shell walking pass the door. It may be gaudy, attrutious, flashy, evocative and somewhat wrong, we stare.


However, much like all forms of vanity, narcissism, and obsession, its all about envy. Maybe?
Big corporation pushes these images of observed beauty, coolness to our minds with celebrity with make up which they would do fine without, and cars that look like sharks (cough-evoX-cough) and ground shattering V8s. Well, its sorta like we all want a Ferrari ( impractical as it seems) and they want all the free goodies and spas and the likes.

So, I guess to sum up, always aim for a Ferrari but make do with what you have. Otherwise, there is always another form of obsession, like stamp collecting.
