Camaraderie of loss

Opposite of 'friends with benefits '. When one of the dudes involved in a friendship often incurs a loss owing to the nature of friendship. You can't say no, for instance, or want to go an extra mile to be helpful to the friend yo don't want to lose.
Azra: So you two were like friends with benefits?
Adil: It was more of a camaraderie of loss. I could never say no to her and here we are.

Carmaraderie 

Showing respect while driving to a unknown person for no reason other than the fact that they are driving the same car as you. Having the same make and model are key in this behavior occurring; an identical color scheme on top of these existing similarities will cause for the most immediate and conscious realization of this sudden urge of appreciation.
Example: "I gave the guy driving in front of me on the highway a 3-second space cushion because he was driving a silver civic, exactly like mine. I soon realized the only reason why I was doing this was because of Carmaraderie."

A camaraderie, or brotherhood, among cab drivers, as coined by Stephen Fry.

Drivers show cabaraderie when they let each other know where the traffic is bad, allow other cabs to pull in in front of them, and so on.
Stephen Fry, who used to drive a London cab, coined the word cabaraderie to describe the kindness shown to him by actual cab drivers.
