He enjoys having the oneupmanship over someone who desperately needs the part for his project. Regarding this one particular person, it took me a long time to figure out this flaw in his personality. To me it definitely is not in the spirit of the hobby to hoard parts your fellow enthusiasts could use. Now that I've broken the code, I won't give him the satisfaction of showing interest in anything he has.

I call these guys the "I gotta's" dudes.

Most of these dudes got 2 of every cool part in stashed in their garage, but not a car on the road.
