I don't know about all you guys, but to me, a car enthusiast, that is a true car enthusiast, never "moves on". This isn't just a hobby, it's not a phase, it's not something I like to do when I have time, it's a lifestyle. From the time I wake up to the time I go to bed I'm thinking about cars, about modding, about racing them, about what I want, and about what I'll have in the future. I'm never going to get over this. Not for a wife nor kids. If my girl doesn't like this about me, she's gone. Just like that. If I ever get married my wife will understand or we're not getting married. I'm not a bitch, and I don't let girls have my balls. I'm my own person and I live for cars, to work on them, to mod them, to race them, to look at them, to read about them, I just love it.

I met a guy on the sentra forum who has a vq'ed swapped sentra running 12's all motor. You know how old he is? 78. Yes 78. Seventy eight years of age old-at the track with us, drag racing and having fun. That's going to me when I get old.

I'm going to school to be an optometrist, they make decent money. You know why? It's not because I care about houses or jewelry. It's the only way I know I can afford to have a gtr and a decent living because I damn sure can't afford one making 19.30 an hour. This obsession of cars, is all consuming and everything else comes second, well within reason of course.

i guess for me thats the problem. I dont really care anymore. I realize i dont care about the cars, i dont care about the people, and its not stimulating to me anymore. the car crowd just seems to reek of below average intelligence. I just got to the point where i cant hold a normal conversation with them, or talk about other things because they are so GOD DAMN STUPID. So i gave up. Id go to a meet and people would be talking about stuff i really didnt care about. When the DOODOO zero offset wheels became the craze, i was done with it.

maybe im just old and cynical. I appreciate cars still, but nothing like i used to. I was in Georgetown this weekend and saw this crazy modded out GTR, and i didnt even stop to take a picture. I was like "eh, cool" and kept going. But i passed a champs at Northpoint last week and saw the new Lebron 9s and was like OH SHIT, took a picture and bought a pair. Go figure. Guess my tastes changed.

Im not saying every car person is an idiot, im just saying it seems like MOST of them are. Most of them will never amount to anything, most of them live with mommy and daddy, most of them dont do anything worthwhile for a living, most of them have no education, no creativity, etc. I probably was A LOT like them, but i grew out of it, so i dont want anything to do with them anymore.
