Default Pathological liars

I know someone that is a pathological liar, but it wasn't recently that I've heard of this word. Basically, he tells everyone how he owns all these cars, and when we ask him where it is, he says its like "in Japan" or "my ex-girlfriend" has it. Some cars he "has" is a Supra, some Ferarri, and SLR MacLaren, an Evo7, and other cars that nobody's seen before! Even his friends of 8+ years said he's been like this all the time, and they've never seen his cars! Not only that, because he "owns" all these cars, he thinks he knows which cars are good. He's always stuff like saying "the s2000 sucks, my evo can outrun it," and other times, he claims the SLR is a "one-seater" because he drives one! ARGH!

He drives an old 198x Accord 4 door btw, and works at a video game store part time.

WHY DO PEOPLE LIE ABOUT WHAT CARS THEY HAVE (especially to people they know)? Do you guys know anyone who does this too, or is he the only guy in the world like this! (good thing you guys need to enter a VIN to verify real s2ks).

There are pathological liars everywhere, especially in relationships.

Hey now, I happen to have the following cars:

Barracuda hemi convertible
Lincoln Continental convertible with suicide doors
Mercedes SLK
Lamborghini Countach
Lamborghini Diablo

Of course, they're all very small and are parked on my desk at home, but dammit I own them all!

I've run into several people like that in my lifetime, claiming to have done things they so obviously knew nothing about. Lying about certain cars you have is stupid though, because its so easily proven false...the fact that the guy works in a video store and drives a 16y/o car is even dumber. If you HAVE to lie, at least make it somewhat believable...thats what I always say.
