People make themselves all about one thing all the time. Car is just one possibility. Surely you've met those incredibly dedicated sports fans that build their entire lives around whatever team they follow. Some people are very proud they use Arch Linux. Others build their identity around Elon Musk or Donald Trump. It's just a form of tribalism.
