Thoughts about cars?

[Trashyspeeds]

As an car enthusiasts, i very rarely come across more enthusiasts. So it just makes me curious on what others think about cars

[ChrisMaster69]

You need to get out more then and join a club or even a decent car forum.

also erm, it’s not car enthusiast, it’s Petrolhead

a car enthusiast is someone that just looks at cars.

a Petrolhead is one who drives them and lives them.

Just join an online forum and have meet ups, it’s incredibly simple.

can't call myself that if i dont own a car soo, im technically not wrong lol

[erandal]

Personally I love them. Several members of my family enjoy motorsports and I probably got it from them. I spent a few years racing karts when I was in my teens (there were two girls who raced regularly and we often beat the boys which really annoyed them). I like classic European cars and watch loads of motoring YouTube channels. I currently drive a Volvo V50 T5 (aka Ford Focus RS).

[Trashyspeeds]

Thats pretty awesome.

Those 5 cylinder Volvo motors sound like a viper when you remove the exhaust

Sucks that there aren't many where i live

[erandal]

I do plan to get a ‘fruity’ exhaust if/when the current one fails but it is a daily so it is not a priority for me.

Cars are awesome. My dad is an enthusiast and it trickled down to me. Vintage ones I have a special spot in my head for

[Trashyspeeds]

How can you not like vintage! They are so stunning to look at!

Unfortunately im the only car guy in the family, making talking about them very one sided lol

[OldSchool_Metalhead]

Damn autocorrect I said "heart" not "head" in the last response 🤣 yea being the only car guy has got to suck.

[Trashyspeeds]

Haha i knew what ya ment. 🤣

Definitely does

You start talking about head gaskets and they all look at you dumbfounded LOL

Besides my step father, working on a farm he often repaired old tractor motors.

But he isn't really into them, he likes the look of some cars, and knows how to fix the older (80's to 2000's cars) ones, but thats about it lol

[blackgaletiger]

I used to be so into cars as a kid that nothing much changed as I got older only thing that changed was I could actually afford my own and work on it to my taste. I love a few exotics out there but nothing beats getting a nice JDM and working on it on all fronts. A great hobby as well as a great cash gussler as parts are not cheap

Cars: I have a beater Mazda 258,000. I also have a 95 convertible jag for dates. If liberal, big environment, or nerd.. I’ll drive 82 Volvo that my Mom left me. Dream car is 65, 67, Mustang-Shelby is optional.

[Trashyspeeds]

I used to own an 1997 chevy silverado, unfortunately had to let it go due to no longer holding a job... it had an 350 v8 with just under 50,000km and no rust.

If i had a dream car, would probably be an c2 split window corvette

Unfortunately thats way too far out of my reach now

[Guy13]

Toys are what they made second/part-time jobs for…

[Trashyspeeds]

With the way my country is going right now, finding a job period is extremely hard.

[Guy13]

In my area, I know a guy who has close to 20 years in at Lowes. I worked for him 16-18 heavy equipment license at night. He started Bojangles at 15.00 hour 3 times week. Now, assistant manager there and not to far from retiring from Lowes. “Getting too old for this night shift crap”. Home and rental property owner…

[Trashyspeeds]

Heard retail is the most stressful job.

I don't know how he could stand 20 whole years working at one lmao

[Guy13]

Provider and realized college is overrated. Handy, scratch dent appliances, train wrecked rentals…he really does not need to work. He’s trying to stick Lowes out…restored Plymouth valiant too🙃

[hypojoe]

I am a car guy currently have

[Trashyspeeds]

[LilyByte]

dont really care for them just se it to get from point A to point B ideally i wouldn't even need a car but public transit is like non nonexistant were i live

[Sparkie460]

I love the classic muscle cars like the gto, Cuda, charger, camaro, chevelle.

[Iron_Man]

I’m not a fanatic but I like them a lot I have a 1978 fire bird formula that sits in the garage
