No... just having some fun. I'm bored.

OK, I think I'm a little confused. This girl comes on here & wants to know what makes an "enthusiast", makes a few statements that have been made more times than I can count over the last 5 years & makes sure to point out the fact that she's a female so Patrick somewhat disagrees with her & now all the sudden, he "rides the cock"?!?!? What the hell is that all about??? He doesn't agree with her & the fact that she's making the same statement that's been made 1,000 times on this forum & the fact that she feels the need to point out that she's a female, like that makes her opinion count more or something. Can somebody please explain why Patrick is suddenly gay because he doesn't necessarily agree with this girl??? :confused:

Hmm...obviously I just started on IA...So therefore have not been a part of all of the already known "seniority" speak..I am sorry..

As far as my vernacular being indecent, Deaf Pimp I apologize...I will grow up one day, just like one day you will go through a metamorphosis of no longer needing to increase your ego by bashing girls online...Hey maybe even one day being able to hold an actual civil conversation like when someone asks a question...Simply answering the question at hand instead of resorting to the stating of the obvious...Thank you it's been fun...So BTW what is the meaning of enhtusiast to you?

BTW-Awesome JDM TYTE car-not ur signature...Nismo..Thank you again for the entertainment...You were great, and the other Seniors Bye nice meeting you all and your overwhelming intelligence...

Ok here let me explain myself a little more..Ok, mentioned I was a female b/c I knew it would be obvious from the name...I honestly do want to know what everybody's standpoint is on this subject...

Like am I an enthusiast if I know about and can name every particular piece of a single vehicle??

Do I need to know how to swap an engine before I have it done for me? Or would I need to do it myself to prove I can??

If I can't do shit to my car but change the oil and repair a tire, but I love my baby...Does that make me any less of an enthusiast?

Do I have to participate in the car "scene" in order to be an enthusiast?

Do I need to street race/drift/track race/touge/in order to enjoy and appreciate it???

Is my love for cars enough to consider myself an enthusiast?

Yes I am starting out...Obviously I dont know shit about car..But I want to learn so does that mean that I dont love my baby as much as somebody that knows everything about their car?

I look at my 240 everyday before I go to work and when I come back..and all I want to do is be behind the wheel and finally feel her...I love the way the wheel feels under my palms...Love the way the seat hugs my ass when I sit down..I enjoy the shifting of the gears as I drive....I love the feeling of being in control of this wonderful machine and want to learn all there is about it....Shit I would have to say the feeling competes w/sex...So am I not an enthusiast until I can officially hold my own in a conversation about my baby?

These are the questions I want answered...I do appreciate the people that have answered honestly thank you...For the rest...We come onto IA to start shit, see shit start, and egg shit on...Its fun..It is...But sometimes people simply ask questions they want answered...That is the only reason that I asked...

why the fuck are you trying so hard to classify yourself as an enthusiast? No one gives a fuck... OK A FEMALE ENTHUSIAST WOWZERS! To whom/what are you trying to prove something to?

For the first time, I completely agree! Why do you find it necessary to be labeled an "enthusiast"? Everybody has different opinions on what makes an enthusiast so you may be considered 1 to 1 person, but not to another...so what? If you enjoy your 240, then learn what you can & enjoy it while you can & don't worry about a stupid label.

Not worried about a label...Never used it for myself....Just wondered what it was..Obviously wanted several opinions...If I didn't I wouldnt have posted it...

Thanks..BTW-What is yours?

**Find more bs attacking the person writing not addressing the subject brought up**

I never classified myself as an enthusiast, I rather not classify myself as something that I have to ask about...Sorry...I am not trying to be ultra cool like all the "enthusiast" on here. I do appreciate the fact that you call me an attention whore over the internet but the only way for me to receive such desired attention would mean that you....Yeah you or others like yourself would have to give it to me...Thank you...I feel so honored...
You take time out of your regularly scheduled program to blast me...That is so AWESOME.....I feel so welcomed...

actually.. in case you haven't read 99% of my posts... most of them are highly irrelevant with anything... and that was some of my late night whoring when im in my half awake half asleep trance. Dont feel honored I took out time, simply because it's either that or me being in the next lame thread.

Historical usage

Originally an enthusiast is a person possessed by a God. Applied by the Greeks to manifestations of divine possession, by Apollo, as in the case of the Pythia, or by Dionysus, as in the case of the Bacchantes and Maenads, the term enthusiasm was also used in a transferred or figurative sense. Thus Socrates speaks of the inspiration of poets as a form of enthusiasm.

Its uses, in a religious sense, are confined to an exaggerated or wrongful belief in religious inspiration, or to intense religious fervour or emotion. Thus a Syrian sect of the 4th century was known as the Enthusiasts. They believed that by perpetual prayer, ascetic practices and contemplation, man could become inspired by the Holy Spirit, in spite of the ruling evil spirit, which the fall had given to him. From their belief in the efficacy of prayer, they were also known as Euchites. Several protestant sects of the 16th and 17th centuries were called enthusiastic. During the 18th century, popular Methodists such as John Wesley or George Whitefield were accused of blind enthusiasm (i.e. fanaticism).
[edit]

Modern Usage

In modern ordinary usage, enthusiasm has lost its peculiar religious significance, and means a whole-hearted devotion to an ideal, cause, study or pursuit. Sometimes, in a depreciatory sense, it implies a devotion which is partisan and is blind to difficulties and objections.

Science-fiction writer Thomas M. Disch once suggested that the mystical experiences of writer Philip K. Dick might be described as a form of enthousiasmos.

One might be said in modern terms to be enthusiastic if they are excited about what they might be engaged in.

happy?

it's simple: enthusiast= being "into" your car. enjoy/passion for driving. have a girlfriend that wishes you'd spend more $$$ on her and less on your car. NO WINGS THAT REQUIRE REGITRATION WITH THE FAA & NO NEON...anywhere!

RandomGuy, shut the fuck up lol - since when did your fat paki ass tried to be an e-thug - quit posing you stupid terrorist

anyways, don't really see why the shit hit the roof, don't really care either ( just funny to read though haha )

but what makes an enthusiast will vary - you can have a 6 year old enthusiast who absolutely LOVES his daddy's 1970 Hemi Cuda in his garage, and then you can go alll the way up to people like Mr. Shelby, and then you got Jay Leno - who to me is the ultimate car enthusiast ( you guys ever see his garage(s) ? I mean, shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittt that guy is loaded - and not with just exotics ) - he's a high enthusiast of the uniqueness of cars - for example if he's giving you a tour and you get to the McLaren F1, he wont really talk about how fast it is, instead he'll show off the titanium toolkit that comes with it - so what defines an enthusiast is pretty broad, but as long as your not posing to be something your not, and have a love for cars, then to me you're an enthusiast

The intake manifolds off of Dodge Caravan's are better than our stock ones - and lets get some MultiPort Injection systems from Australia, convert them, create our own harnesses and create an upgrade for our cars to MPI from a throttle body setup - those people are the hardcore enthusiasts. You also got the people who dropped in the 4G63 engine ( Eclipse engine ) into our cars - a FWD engine into a RWD car? Took some research, but a 4G64 ( same block as 4G63 only in rwd format ) with a 4G63 turbo head fit. But it didn't fit the tranny - somehow, they managed to discover that with a 2nd gen RX7 tranny and a Ford Turbo Probe clutch, that the engine setup would just fall right in. These types of people are the no bullshit true type enthusiast about the car they own, and ever car make has them
