Is it wrong....

Mc Love

I want to know if you buy the same car as a mate is it considered wrong?

I am aware that it might get moved from AH, but seeing as most people spend most of their day in AH, i thought it was the best place to get a wider view from the general public

PirateShampoo

Its only wrong if its pink

OldGoat

yes it's wrong in some circumstances but it's perfectly fine on other occasions.
Hope this helps.

Jesus Wept

Yes, because then you both paid for the same car.

I had that coming on AH!:D

My name is URL

afaik it's customary to dislike mates cars. It's totally taboo to get the same one though.

padi89

Its wrong yes but if you must do so just make sure you get a better spec just to piss them off even more.

drunkmonkey

it definatley show's a lack of imagination....

(ford, toyota, nissan drivers i'm looking at you!!)

Mossy Monk

No. Maybe if you are a girl.

Dancor

we need more info, like what is your mates name?

themadchef

Yes, very, very wrong.


PM for punishment :eek: (it has been a very slow day )

Most people will probably just think that you and your mate are bumming each other.

If you are not comfortable with that....it is wrong.
If you are comfortable with that........ it is wrong. :pac:

Mc Love

fair enough!

Its just me then! I dont think its wrong. I wouldnt have a problem if a mate had the same car as me! But then again none of my mates have the same car as me.

Naos

What's the car?

Mc Love

shouldnt matter what car it is

If it was a punto or some other non cool car then why would you want to buy it because your mate has it.

kmick

I know the OP and his mate has a mini metro shazam (1983). It is definitely wrong.

Bobeagleburger

OP, Id say it would be worse if you got his missus up the duff

If you're a girl would it be like showing up to a party/wedding/other special occasion in the same dress as a friend?

"Totally Morto" I think is the phrase

It's a 100% certainty that this guy is probably bumming someone. Trust me. It's science.

Puddleduck

Its only wrong if you start grooming yourself to look like them

Then talking and acting like them

Then moving in with his/her family while he/she is away and pretending you are the other person.....








.....you should so do that!

Jet Black

Is it a black golf?

wylo

defo not wrong,

funny you bring it up , me and a few mates were having this same conversation earlier

A car is an expensive purchase and if you really want that type of car your mate has NO exclusive rights over it, in fairness its not an item of clothing or a pair of runners ffs.

Now doing up the car is another issue, it would be a bit sad if you went and bought the same alloys, spoiler, tinted windows, seat covers etc, thatd be just annoying.

Why you think it might be wrong is beyond me...
Pros:
If anything goes wrong with either car, you can compare and have a heads up on any future probs.
You can both find scrap yards/mechanics etc that suit your car and haggle them down on price (My friend was offered X for this part, I want you to match it)

Cons:
er...

I disagree.

If you just had to have a Bugatti Veyron after driving your mate's one then that could be ok.

You and your mate driving matching bright yellow Ford Kas?
Oh no, no, no...

There were these two guys that used to go to my old gym.
They both drove matching white Honda Integras.

Now the Honda Integra is a nice car, nothing wrong with it.

But stop for a second and try to imagine how totally gay the two
of them looked pulling up together in their matching white cars,
parking beside each other, etc.
It was just so wrong.

Whoever gets the car second is always going to appear like they're some weirdo, who is trying to copycat their mate.
You know, like those girls you see that copy their good looking, popular friend's hairstyles, clothes, etc.

I believe it's "Bleedin' Morto", or "Bleedin' Scarla'"

So OP, what type of car is it?

Mr.Lizard

It's very wrong. What happens if you're both out some night and you both get so steaming drunk that you accidenty drive home in each others car?

metamorphosis

If it makes you happy OP go for it and ... f*uck your friend
