Why are some numbers cooler than others?

For example no one would argue that 2,374 is a 'cooler' number than 1000 in a conversational sense. Is it the way they trip off the tongue?

The frick are you talking about?

1000 is still cooler than you.

If you were selling an item, would you rather name it;
XJ2374
Or
XJ1000
XJ2374
Or
XJ1000

I know, right? If I need to order a pizza I always order 10 instead of 1 because I don't want the guy taking my order to think I'm not cool.

Isn't starting a thread for every thought that pops in your head a bannable offense?

Another example: SR71 vs SR113

Well that's a really dumb question as well, but to answer it, I would MUCH rather XJ1000. That is much neater and rolls a lot better. If you would attempt to name something the XJ2374 in a round table meeting and it didn't have a specific meaning, everyone would look at you like a fricking retard. You would be tarred and feathered, as you should.
XJ2374 over XJ1000? Are you a fricking neanderthal?

350 is a pretty slick number
Posted on 1/11/17 at 11:05 am to dnm3305
Motorcycles are a good example of this. The displacement might be 239cc or 254cc but the bike will be called a '250.'

No love for 69? You guys are slipping.

If I gave you a choice between a couple of jersey numbers, 99 or 62, which would you choose? That is what I am getting at. Is it symmetry? Ease of speaking? Other connotations?

99 because it's associated with the GOAT.
