    A guy in my neighborhood has a car that looks like that. I feel sorry for him that he probably paid money for it, but I also feel bad for him like maybe he has some attention seeking or other issues, but I also feel like he’s an idiot. How am I supposed to feel about it?

      maybe, just maybe, he wants to add some color to your lives, some difference, something out of the ordinary.

      not everything is about taking. it’s a little pleasure somebody can give you with just some courage to stand out

        It’s definitely giving reflections.

        I wonder how something like that isn’t a hazard to other drivers, though.

        First time I saw it at night I thought an emergency vehicle was approaching.

        It is certainly out of the ordinary.

        To each their own, I guess.

      I have a friend who is simply into optics and specifically reflectivity, i.e. mirrors. He has told me on multiple occasions that if he could be bothered he would mirror or disco-ball his car, just for yuks.

      Some people are into that kind of thing for no specific reason at all, it seems.
