Rob Pitts Small Town Mentality - Rabbits Used Cars

[@DunnDifferent]

I call those type of people “must be nice” people. They grind my gears more than any other type of person. They’re so down on themselves for not making anything of their life that they try to bring down other people passive aggressively. My answer to them when they say “it must be nice” or something similar: yes, yes it is nice, it’s the culmination of hard work, a little luck, and a crap ton of experience, maybe you should try it.

[@samcaccamo1195]

Well said

[@J0h4n_P3r55on]

Hit the nail on the head! I’m always down on myself in a way, but I’m also always pushing and looking for ways to better myself. And I have 2x interviews coming up for better positions.

or the "I wish" crowd. Like yeah, I wished too. And then I made it happen. This $3k gaming pc didn't build itself. My Fiero didn't fall from the sky. My new car didn't just show up on magic. I wanted it, so I worked for it and got it.

[@JohnnyAFG81]

Jealousy comes in many forms, my neighbor had a pizza place when I was younger. He had a great year once and bought a big Buick as gift for his hard work. His clients used to call him a big shot or complain that if he could afford a big luxury car he was charging too much. They didn’t see the years of sacrifice and hard work that got him where he was. He was proud of his car and drove it until he passed.

I know you're right. I live in a small town and I deal with this constantly. half the people don't know what goes on beyond the city limits. everybody talks about how they want to make something of this town, and then fights every bit of change that comes their way. they make fun of me and my truck yet if they only knew how much this truck made me every year, they would understand why I just chuckled and walk on

[@brianbird3756]

That's the way my grandma is. Any time my parents would get a nice vehicle she'd compliment it and then say, "I hope y'all can make the payments" I've recently had to talk my wife out of this mentality when we got her new Taurus. She wanted a SHO, but wanted to settle for an SEL. I told her we aren't going below Limited. Short story long, there's a black SHO sitting next to my V in my garage right now.

[@kkzooi]

I don't mind someone being succesfull getting fancy stuff. However when i'm at a used car dealership and the salesman is wearing an expensive Rolex i immediately get the feeling i'm being ripped off. Could be they saved up for it for years but to me it comes across as them charging a lot more than what it should be.

[@RustyZipper]

Depends on what they’re selling for cars. If it’s 2008 Chevy Malibu’s then you are correct. But if they’re selling brand new Mercedes’ then they better be doing well at it.

[@alexleibelt1324]

I’m the same way. But I guess it’s situational. If you are selling flashy cars I would expect a flashy salesman.

[@BRETTLYBOOST]

I grinded for years and years and worked 50-60 hour weeks to perfect my craft so I could wear mine on my wrist. If it’s not your thing that’s okay, but it’s not cool to assume something when you’re not in their shoes.

Those are signs of success and hard work. If that watch makes you feel good about yourself then wear it with a smile. Those people don’t see the hours of overtime you might have had to put in to get the things you want or the things you may have given up or sacrifices you have made to get those things. Enjoy them because you bought it to make yourself happy and not to be flashy but to feel accomplished.

[@COCarDude]

My Dad always makes comments like this. When I got my 1 year old F150 for under trade in from a buddy of mine, he still wasn't impressed and asked how I was going to afford it, even though he had no idea of my financial situation.

[@parrisgeorge9708]

Thanks for another great video. I like many others have seen this attitude many times over the years. A good part of it is envy and passive aggressive behavior coming out. When I see someone that's doing/done well by working hard and making their own luck in my mind I salute them. Those people put it out there and took risks that others weren't willing to take. One of my brothers owns his own company that puts up structural steel. When he first started he struggled like many others. He did well and then the 08 recession hit him and others hard causing him to almost go under. He came out the other side and has done well for a good number of years. None of us realized how close things were until he and his wife shared that during the down turn he didn't draw a pay check and in order to pay his crew they were using credit cards for that purpose so his guys wouldn't take a hit. Your Rolex isn't flashy as much as it's practical given the model. The flashy Rolex watches are EASY to see. You should add one other thing about your watch. If you take care of it you'll be able to sell it for more than you paid if you ever decide to get rid of it. There's not many things we can buy that actually appreciate over time and use.

Rob, the fellow you were talking to was right. You like to show off, and we like watching what you are showing and there is nothing wrong with that. You like attention, if you did not you would not have a youtube channel and podcast. Its alright, that is your persona. You are just showing us you successes, and most people that are not successful cannot stand someone showing their fruits of their labor. You are right as well too! There is no "wrong" here, just different mindsets. Thanks for sharing.

another good response is "did you ask me how much volunteer work i did this year, or how much i donated to local causes before you decided to spend my money?"

[@laughingalltheway8399]

I'm with you about people who hate on people for having nice things. What business is it of theirs what you paid for something or whether you can afford something? Unless they're paying your bills it's not their place to make remarks about what it costs and I have zero qualms telling them that. I tend to feel they are jealous because they don't live a lifestyle that allows them to have nice things--either they truly cannot afford it or they have other financial priorities, etc., and that is not my problem. I've never heard anyone who wouldn't "like to have it" make a remark about what "it" costs.

[@CarStory]

I have a nice expensive watch but I’m afraid to scratch it so I only wear it on holidays and special occasions. I love my cheap plastic watches because I don’t care what happens to them. His point is very valid though and If I was in sales I would wear the expensive watch all the time. I really miss this guy. Sucks that he’s gone.

[@stewkeene]

So damn true! Small minded people are, as you say, so short sighted. People are drawn to successful people and visual aids are an important part of that process. As the saying goes “dress for success”. I remember a movie called open range and Robert Duval goes in to the local goods store. He orders some fancy cigars and some chocolate bars. The shop owner says “that’s the best chocolate in the world right there. Duval says, “have you had some? The shop owner replies No, I can’t afford it. Duval then states “we’ll then how do you know it’s the best in the world if you’ve never tasted it. He turns to his partner and says “Imagine that, he’s got the best chocolate in the world sitting right there on the shelf and he’s never tried it. Duval hands him a piece and says “life’s too short not to have something great once in a while” Thanks Rob, another sagely story 👍🏻

Great point. I always said something similar about running a shop, and using snap-on tools. Who do you want working on your car? That dude with the harbor freight roll cart? Or that dude with the snap-on tool box? There’s a reason that guys got that tricked out tool box.

[@oldArmyVet]

It's a choice you have to make, live scaled down and retire young or, live large and work till the day of your funeral. I chose to retire early at young age , I set my goals, skipped on the high dollar fancy trucks, cars, and everything my friends were buying and doing and retired at 49 years old. My friends on the other hand are drowning in debt with their fancy boats, trucks, cars ,and home, having to work overtime to make ends meet. They are always telling me, must be nice to be retired, and I reply it damn sure is nice Lol . I live in a nice home, drive modest vehicles but nothing out of my means. You can do anything you set your mind too.

Some of the best people I have ever known were self made. Millionaires as well. Some of them wore jeans and collared shirts, drove pickup trucks, and could drop cash for a rolls if it tickled them. Some of them "flashy" as you tell. LOL I knew a guy that came back from vacation abroad and bought a new station wagon shotgun style (30 min deal in and out the door) because they brought back more than their car could hold - while the wife and family waited at the airport with the stuff. I knew another one who bragged about taking 8 kids to Florida for vacation for 500$ (cpa type and honest to a fault so it's true). Some of them wore suits and Rolexes and didn't get dirty. The common thread is that they all knew their limitations, didn't live credit card lives, and didn't worry what others thought. They worried about what they were doing, getting it done honestly, and taking care of their family. Idc what a guy wears or does if those are the standards he lives by, that's a good guy.
