People who like loud cars are also people who blast their music in public. Just attention seekers. My ex girlfriend was just like that. I really liked her, but it was really hard to ignore things like: sometimes i pull up to a EV and rev up my engine, to show him. Wonder what they think.
All i could think was that he thought the same as most people, you're an annoying dumbass.
If you read the article, you'll find that they expected the results to show that people were "attention seekers", but in fact they found that they were NOT trying to get attention and manipulate people's view of them the way narcisists do. They don't want attention, they actually want to HURT people. That's a big, big difference.
