Man shows how he transformed after getting car
The first photo captured a period when he did not yet own a car, while the second showed him after he had acquired one.
The unexpected change in his looks sparked reactions among viewers who found the comparison both hilarious and concerning.
He posted his transformation on TikTok through his official account identified as @whitez_100, where he displayed both photos alongside a short caption of what each represented.
The first picture showed him looking radiant, well-rested and noticeably more handsome.
His skin appeared bright and he carried an expression that gave off the feeling that he was happy and at ease.

Many who saw the photo felt it showed someone who had fewer responsibilities and more freedom in his daily routine.
The later photo, however, offered a very different impression. In that photo, his complexion looked duller and he appeared more worn out, with visible signs of fatigue.
His facial expression implied stress, and viewers noted that he seemed far more burdened than before.
He disclosed that the only major difference between the two periods of his life involved car ownership.
"When I was not a car guy. Vs me as a car guy," he said.
Many observers concluded that the responsibilities tied to maintaining a car might have taken a toll on him.
Commenting on the story, a car owner, Angela Uche, confirmed that maintaining a car truly requires a lot.
"This is why I pity people that just make small money and rush to bur a car with it. They think car is all about buying it. It's just like a phone. When you buy a phone you still need to be buying data every time to enjoy it. You still need to install some apps that will require subscriptions too. That's the same way car can also drain you after you buy it. Apart from fuel, you also need to maintain it. Sometimes something will even spoil when you did not even think it will," she said.
Reactions as man displays how car changed him
TikTok users reacted by sharing their own experiences, noting that owning a car often brought unexpected pressure, from constant upkeep to the financial strain of fuel and repairs.
