why do men get so worked up if you bash alloy wheels on kerbs etc?

because you buy alloys to look nice and you buy crappy steel ones to go through the kerbs

Cause it costs a lot of monry to get them fixed. Also if a man does it they like to think they are better drivers than women so them scrapping a wheel on a kerb would be unheard of. I think not

Maybe cause they are expensive.

LolI guess the same reason as we get wound up when they use a clean towel to wipe up after sex...

You scratch/break them you bought them (grrrr!)

Because the things are expensive. Some are a grand for a set. Plus it looks tatty when your wheels are beat up and you know how materialistic blokes are when it comes to cars. I am so glad I failed my test.

because they cost MONEY and unless you don't understand the value of a dollar you should understand why he doesn't want them messed up!

not just men, i get worked up if i see if happen or i'm in a car with sum1 who did it...ally's r expensive n a nice bit of equipment...need to be looked after

'cos it's not like you can just "polish out that little scratch"...it knackers them. Alloys are soft metal (compared to steel rims) and mark very easily, bend & go out of shap if bashed on the kerbs.As a comparison...a woman might get a bit miffed if we scraped her new shoes along the wall - they'll still 'work' - but are basically destroyed.

they only moan if you do it not if they do it themselves

Because alloy wheels are expensive and are there to make the car look good, if they are scuffed they make the car look crap. I'd get worked up if you bashed my alloy wheels on kerbs lol.

Its a man thing, its important!

If you bash my nice alloy wheels I get worked up because 1)they're expense to replace or re-finish. 2) Now they look crappy 3) People see the marks on my wheels and think I'm a bad driver which I'm not 4) The scuff wheels lower my trade value when I finally sell my car. And if that's not enough reasons I can think up more reasons.

Because only prats fit them. Same as the modern car costs an arm and a leg to fix and look like crap.
