    Better in what way? Faster car? Newer car? More expensive car? More fuel mileage? I was thinking of maslow’s heirarchy of needs the esteem and belonging needs.

      Ah I think I understand now.

      Yeah, I would agree that people are hardwired to feel pressure to fit in socially. There’s a balance too, if you don’t stand out at all your chances of fulfilling those needs could be harmed. But if you’re too odd, you’ll be shunned. The internet did wonders connecting odd ducks to each other.
