Why We Do What We Do?

MustGoFaster · 10-12-2004

So why are all of us into cars in general? Anybody know? Or at least why you are?

AJ · 10-12-2004

I have a 1.8. I think thats as close to being out of cars as it comes. Why I got into them before... I will never know. I started with a 97 GST cause I loved the wing. How gay is that?

I am in it for speed and something to do for fun as a hobby. Some people like the ricers on here are in because they think there car will get them hot girls.

That would be "AJ" gay.

Im in it to piss my girlfriend off

ACRucrazy · 10-12-2004

Im in it for the speed, its addictive.
Cars cant cheat on you, although they can take all your time and money like girls.
They dont talk back, and love it when your ride em hard!

Plus chics dig guys with cool cars!

Obsessive need to go fast. It also stems from a need to dominate anything sitting beside you at a light so maybe an extreme competition thing as well.

IneedaGSX · 10-12-2004

I don't know but I think I like cars because almost everyone can relate to a "fast car."

**JET** · 10-12-2004

I agree, there is definately competition involved. I want to be able to beat anything sitting next to me at the light. Will that happen? No, but I want to beat as much stuff as possible. Since I got my house I have been trying to resist the urge, but it is not working very well. Hopefully I can stay working on other peoples' cars enough that I won't have time to work on my own!

Most people are like sheep,thay drive form point A to Point B and are happy...BAAA BAA. I like to "fuck around" light up the tires, take off too fast, corner too fast, and have the ability to beat up on other peoples cars. Its like a therapy, after a bad day at work or whatever. I never thought that I would work on cars for a living. But I save alot of money doing my own work. and thats a good thing, the way I brake stuff racing sheep. :3gears:

It is a relief for me and im going to say this now I DRIVE A HONDA. So when i have a bad day I go out and drive my car go fast corner hard it reliable and never breaks up with me. Plus it gives me something to do and work for.

A//// Guy · 10-12-2004

Its a competition thing, but its also something I feel gives me joy. Even when some bolts decide to be gay or things dont work out its still beats working or sitting in front of the TV. It also takes stress away, just putzing in the garage with no worries.

I think for me cleanliness is the biggest factor and Im just super anal about it. Speed is cool but thats not all of it for me. Looks are nice too so I guess I like a little rice

**1ViciousGSX** · 10-12-2004

'Cause I love getting fucked up the ass, and Magnus Motorsports are the kings of a dry fuck. :thumbsup:

I had always wished I had a sportscar... The Talon is the first. Little things turned into big things. Being a perfectionist doesn't help... I want to have a car that's fun to drive. One that handles well, and has a lot of power on tap.

sleepydsm · 10-13-2004

When I first played Gran Turismo in 7th grade. I was 13, didn't know jack shit about cars, and just bought the best parts you could get! A videogame started my addiction. I read more and more about cars and how they work, listened to my dad, and read my never-ending subscription to Road & Track. Then my dad and I riced out his Honda, 'cause he wanted "more power." It was awesome.

IndiEP · 10-13-2004

I have no idea why I like cars. I started working on em 'cause my first car sucked and didn't really have a choice. I don't street race or speed really but its always nice in the back of my head to know that I could take everyone around me and when the cIvi< Bo1Z won't even look at you is also cool. I'm also cheap and have no current intentions of leasing/financing a car and carrying full coverage insurance. I can build a more reliable car than some one spending 5K on a A->B car and it'll also be faster/fun/cheaper. People spend a lot of time driving so you might as well like what you drive.

Oh, then theres also the pride of knowing exactly whats going on under your hood and being a perfectionist...

I just like racing, don't matter what kind :3gears:

Good thing your part owner of a shop huh? :stick:

I got into it due my childhood. Always been very competitive and fascinated by extreme activities. Cars finally got my attention in my later teens. Now its all about being faster than others and the rush you get while driving something powerful.
Its all about owning others

:headache: Because I made a bad choice. I wish I never got into them. I have spent thousands of dollars on the damn things so they can sit in the road broken. I wish I still had the old integra and all the money I have wasted on DSMs. I have too damn much money tied up in cars now. My weekends free time turns into working in the garage. I made a dumb choice and am paying for it (literally).

**Kracka** · 10-13-2004

I have always been a competitive person plus it was a great way for me to relax. I also think I started getting so heavy in to it b/c it was a way for me to run away and escape from my very controlling ex g/f.
