[quote=svelte][quote=briansd1]Don’t you guys thing that there’s something wrong with our culture where we so identify with what we drive?
Would you date someone who drives a beater?
Do you think that you would get a desirable date if if you drove a beater?[/quote]
Look, one of my father’s favorite stories is how I would line up matchbox/hot wheels on the couch when I still wore diapers…I have been a car nut since before I could talk.
I drive nice cars because *I* love cars. I don’t give a rat’s arse if you like them, if you like my car, if you think I’m better or worse for liking cars, or if you think I’m better or worse for the car I drive. I really don’t.
It brings me great pleasure to drive cars. And I want my cars to be spectacular because it makes me happy…I love walking out and sticking the key in the door of a hot machine. To strap myself in. To hear the engine come to life in a symphony of synchronized sound. That brings a smile to my face.
Yes, I’m the guy who parks at the farthest spot from the front door of the store. I’m the guy who won’t take certain cars out in the rain. And I’m also the guy who will take my worst car to an event just cuz I don’t trust the others going there not to ding it.
My wife drove a beater when we started dating. Obviously I didn’t care what she drove. The only thing that was important to me was that she took care of her car (she did) and that she liked cars (she does).
What I’m not too crazy about, quite frankly, are people who look down their nose at people who like cars.[/quote]
Yeah, I’m an equal opportunity car hoar…
One of the neighbors of my parents have an old shelby… Damn nice….That reminds me. Me really wants one of these.
650hp in stock form… That’s just unreal…
Only problem is mostly likely, I’d wrap one around a tree the first day 🙁
The front just looks menacing…Pure and sick (in a good way)….
(I’d take one without the ricey racing stripes though)…
