To be embarrassed to have the same car?

[KyraLittle]

Husband is buying a new car which we will be sharing. He’s been looking over the weekend and he’s decided on one he likes.

We currently live in a flat. It’s a block of 6 so we know each other well and one of them owns the exactly same model and in the same colour.

I said I don’t know why but I would feel embarrassed parking up on the same small driveway in the literal exact same car.

Husband said I’m turning down a good car for no reason.

(I’m not being a snob because it’s actually a nice car but ... I’d just feel like we were trying to copy them)

Errrr, it is relevant as you have said that you aren't keen, if you had chosen together, you could have ruled it out?

No idea where in my OP I said he purchased the car.

Because he definitely didn’t.

Maybe ask them. I had a neighbour ask me recently the same question. I told her I don’t mind one bit! I don’t keep track of stuff like that so I’m not even sure if they got a new one yet!

2 doors away have the exact same car as me. All I said to them when they got it was “great taste”

I used to have a very unusual make and colour of car (like I only ever saw one other in the 12 years I owned it) if my neighbour bought the same I'd have been gutted and thought you were some type of weird stalker! Now I have a common make and colour that I see all the time and that would not bother me in the least.

This happened to my sister! Her ndn bought exactly the same car (as my sister’s) for his dd. It was quite funny. It always reminded me of the Truman Show when we went to see her.

I had never thought for a second that anyone would have a problem with this blush

I have the EXACT same car as my neighbour. We both think it's hilarious when we are trying to unlock each others cars grin

Me too. Same make. Same colour.

It wouldn’t bother me at all
DP, DS, DD, DB, DM and I all drive the same make of car
DP and I have same model and colour but mines a saloon and he has the estate
Other 4 people mentioned have same make and model but in different colours and varying ages

One of our neighbours and his DS has same make n model as my 4 family members -
Neighbour and his DS have it in same colour as each other which is also same colour as DP and I

past caring, its just a car, you said 'husband is buying a car and I are embarrassed!" If my husband was buying a car for us to share, I would hope that I would have a say in the discussion. Clearly you don't have a say (as you have said that you are embarrassed) so not sure what the aibu is.
