It wouldn't bother me in the slightest, it wouldn't make me happy or unhappy, I would be entirely neutral.

Strange question.

@dowie so is this a random hypothetical or are we the jury on some really serious real life drama going down?

LOL, nah it's just a hypothetical. Have seen the results of the question posed to two distinct groups posted earlier today and was curious what OCUK might think. One set of responses was quite surprising to me and I didn't understand the mindset, I was clearly in the other camp but not from that demographic, will drop in a link later today.

What kind of friend? If like BFF / gay sex partner then I might be miffed, if not, I wouldn't care at all.

It's not specified, though if that's a mixed response/dependent on the friend then choose neutral I guess:

Neutral: (ambivalent, mixed emotions, flattered but annoyed, depends on the friend etc..)

Has your friend just purchased a car and you're worried how they will feel if you got the same?

I'd just be impressed they decided to make the decision so quickly, I wouldn't care in the slightest personally because I know if I purchased it I would have done the research and made sure it was the one I wanted and to my spec before I purchased it (says the guy driving around in a crappy Ford B-max that I don't like :( )
 
A lot of my friends keep saying i have a hairdressers car, which i counter with two things.
1 That they have just proved they have no idea about cars and....
2 If you type sports car into google.... what comes up as one of the first pictures, or into wikipedia? Well... its not a pair of scissors or a hairdryer.

But morons be morons, i dont pity the ignorance.
 
If someone bought the same car as me I'd feel sorry for the bugger. I've been buying bangers for as long as I've been driving, and they generally look pretty bloody knackered!

I'd ask them who sold them my car and why they bought it without telling me somebody was selling my new motor.

WINNER! :D
 
I would be happy as any car specific tools we could go halves on and they are likely to have spares and knowledge that could help me fix my own and vice versa.
