Driving along in Kirkland , home of the modern yuppie, I’m passed by a new Mercedes. Lovely, silver, shiny, new, bling-bling; a part of me loaded with insecurity twinges while I purr along in my Toyota. Why? How come this is a metric of my self-esteem? Am I being unfair to myself, being upset by this train of thought and it’s influence? Consider, please, how much this viewpoint is drilled into us. Look at how often this imagery gets pushed into our faces, and how long that’s been going on. It shouldn’t surprise me, really, that I sometimes feel this way. Though my conscious values oppose this, the lingering thread of this programming has threads into the depths psyche.

I won't be too much help, I'm afraid. I sourced this from here: http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/2010/03/25/hot-tub-time-machine-80s-contest-winner-the-situation/
I'd say the next step is to reach out to the folks at www.awkwardfamilyphotos.com and see if they know where it came from.
You might review the comments in the thread, too.
