Some cars are cool. I sat in a Continental Flying Spur once and I don't think there could be a more comfortable vehicle. I don't really care though, in my old town there were car shows a block away from me periodically all summer and I never went to a single one. I like the way some of them look but once you've seen a few you've seen them all. Same goes for racing vehicles. In London I'd see Lambos, Ferraris, Masteratis, high end Audis, Rolls, you name it, every day if I was downtown. It's just not that cool. Personally I just want a vehicle with decent milage and some semblance of power. My current vehicle is a 3.6 and it's all I need. If I was rich I'd probably buy a cheap Audi or Volkswagen and put a little money in to it rather than some sports or exotic car.

I like having a car, but that pretty much is the extent of my interest in them. I don't even enjoy driving, it's just that a lot of things would be a lot more inconvenient if I couldn't.
As a topic of conversation I can't even really feign an interest, same with sports. My go-to topic for small talk is the weather.

I've given up small talk all together. I prefer no talking at all unless there's something decent to talk about.

I'm a car person . I like to race and restore old shit , just finished building a 72 Toyota landcruiser I spent 4 years working on a little bit at a time after work and weekends . I took it completely apart , painted it and put it back together . It's worth a little money but I can't make up my mind if I want to sell it or keep it . Yesterday I test drove an Audi with a supercharged v6 fell in love instantly I'm going to buy one by the end of the week , don't even really need it but life is short so fuckit . I used to have a modified Acura Rsx I really liked , sold it cause I needed a truck , I'm still kicking myself in the ass for that .

Yeah it seems like a pretty dumb thing how much $$ old dudes or just any dude will spend on some fucking car. Now, I do like cars, and like them more than shit, but it just seems pretty dumb. And, you never get your money back on a car, I don't fucking believe it if you say you do.

not any more you wont get your money back..
but if you had an un-restored 65.5 mustang with less than 2000 miles on the clock that you bought for 4k back in the day, you would wayyyy more than quadruple your money.
cars these days are throw aways. not made for investments.

There are car guys and there are non car guys. You are one of the latter. The vast majority of people are like you BTW. For most people, cars are just a thing to get you from point A to point B. Most people don't give a shit about their cars.. what it can do, taking it to the limits, modding it... fuck.. most people don't even give a shit about maintenance or keeping it clean. That's all well and good, it's your car.. do whatever the hell you want. Just like every single thing else in life, people are passionate about different hobbies and shit. You don't understand it.. great, then it's not your thing.
Me, I fucking love cars. I love driving, I love cruising with my group, I love modding my car, I love doing my own maintenance and troubleshooting. I love taking it to the track... I love pushing it to the limits. I love breaking something and then upgrading it. I love working on my driving skills every time I get in the car and improving my track times. It's a passion. It can be a way of expressing yourself yes... a car can be an extension of your personality, but for me it's mostly just all about the fun factor. I've been wrenching on my own cars since I was 16, it was a hobby that turned into a passion. It's more of a way of life. I'm not one of those guys that has 8 cars to show off.. I have one car at a time and I mod the fuck out of it and turn it into my own baby making sure it lives a nice full life until it dies or gets replaced
There's almost nothing better to me than taking a nice cruise down the PCH with all the windows down, feeling a nice breeze and watching the ocean go by Then having a new Mustang GT try to rev at me at a light and I then I annihilate him from a dig in my 4 banger Everyone underestimates the AWD Golf with 470WHP. As intended.
Good fucking times all around. Life is too short to drive a boring car, in my world. You can do whatever you want, obviously.
That's the other beauty of cars. Everyone's car is their own.. so they can do whatever the fuck they want and have whatever opinions they want.. it's their damn car. That doesn't mean you can't still laugh at the people who do hilarious tacky 'mods'

I'll probably start by putting some spikes on my bike and a baseball card in the spokes to make it sound like a motorcycle, and I will work my way up to cars like that the honest way, through road warfare.

Im not much of a car guy, but i do enjoy some car shows. There are some beautiful cars out there.
I would love to own a 1976 Corvette Stingray or a 2016 Ford GT or McLaren F1. But waaaaay too expensive.
Would be nice to own a nice car.
U know whats really dumb thou? Truck culture. I cant tell u how many super lifted trucks i see with super loud annoying mufflers that sound like monster trucks. i think they are really dumb looking and dumb sound, i dont get truck culture at all.
I will say off road truck/SUV culture is cool. Ya know, spare tire on the back, gas cans, winches, flood lights, snorkle, all that stuff i think is cool and practical.

I'm not a car guy, but would like to potentially be a car guy. Realistically I'd like to just get more into DIY shit, just built my own computer, I try to fix all my own electronics instead of just bringing them to the store, sometimes building small things instead of buying them. I just cant afford a car or car parts right now. Maybe in the future

Yeah that's more like it. I'd be pretty happy to have a GSX-R sitting in my garage.. or maybe an Enduro style.

Im not so much of a car guy where at this ooint I can justify putting my savings into one of the turbo charged cars I dream of having, although if I ever make more money that would change. I love having my car though. I can go where I want when I want on my terms. Plus there is a real good satisfaction with taking good care of your car and feeling the hard work you put into it everytime you turn it on. Kind of like trimming your garden. I don't live in a very bus friendly area so my car is a big part of my independence

I love older cars. Especially Mustangs, Porches, BMWs, and Benzes. I really just love anything that looks cool and sounds cool that you don't really see all the time. I also like old ass station wagons. I don't care for muscle cars too much but I still appreciate em. And yeah 'truck culture' is annoying. Super cars are awesome. I'd like an old NSX.
