This came up in another thread, and I did not want to derail that thread, so I am making a new one to discuss this topic.
People including @Lily and @Murdy and @Joe and @Admin. and @The New Holliday have all Spazzed Out! over the fact that I own an Arctic White 2023 C8 Corvette with the Z51 Performance Package.
A number of people have assumed that it is because of jealousy, and that does seem to be the obvious reason, but they all deny it.
So what is it that makes them Spazz Out! over the fact that I own an Arctic White 2023 C8 Corvette with the Z51 Performance Package?
One of them has suggested that they Spazz out because I place so much value in material things. But I have often stated that the material things are objects that afford me the ability to have pleasurable experiences. The things that I value are the pleasurable experiences.
So, and I know this is a long shot because these people are embarrassed of their feelings and will find it difficult to examine the source, I thought I would try to dig deeper.
Why?
Why do they Spazz Out over the fact that I own an Arctic White 2023 C8 Corvette with the Z51 Performance Package?
Here is a list of 5 of my random possessions. If in the unlikely case that the Spazz Out people listed above will participate, they should just react to each item in the list with a comment.
1) Dinnerware. We own 5 sets. 4 that we rotate seasonally as our "everyday" dinnerware, and one large set of Bone China with many serving bowls, platters, butter trays, gravy boats, etc. etc. that we use for formal dining. This dinnerware all helps me enjoy chowing down.
2) A beautiful Gretsch hollow body guitar that I love because there is nothing quite like that Gretsch sound!
3) A Foosball table that I would smoke any of you on that dared challenge me.
4) A 17' travel trailer that we use regularly for camping which I enjoy for a multitude of reasons.
5) Two pickle ball nets so I can book gyms and play pickle ball which is a fun way to stay in shape.
Do any of those items elicit any Spazzing Out! behaviour from any of you?
