Why do you like cars?

What got you into cars in the first place? If you think about it, it's kind of strange that we like these machines. But without them, I'm not sure where my life would be. At least I know I'd have more money...

There's just something about engines that calms me down...ya know

When I was 12 Me and my dad was driving down the road from the groceries. Then I saw it, a 97’ honda civic ek9 type r, and when it drove by, I just fell in love, you know? the “fizz”. So when I passed my driving school, I bought a used 96’ ek4 1.8 ltr non VTEC busted up civic. So, for about 5-6 years I was fixing it, tuning it. First I painted it, then engine swap it, then fix the interior. My classmates would make fun of it saying that it is “unpractical” or “idiotic”. But, to me, it’s freedom, freedom from hate, freedom from Depression (funny thing is, that’s how my depression faded). To all car guys/girls:
*Treat your car, like it is part of your family* .

Cars Unite People! I've always loved cars as a kid, I played videogames with cars, played with toy cars. My whole life as a kid revolved around it, in finally learning to drive and it's the best feeling ever.

Cars are my reason to be successful, I don't care about a big house, I just want cars!

Edit: I see that many love cars as much as I do, and even more. A month ago I just bought my first sports car at 20 years old, a Toyota MR2 1991 (3S-GTE Swapped). I had a problem with it a week after getting it, turned out to be dead capacitors in the ECU, could not drive it for a week. Now I have a problem that I think is the TPS (throttle position sensor).
I am saying that because it can get irritating to drive your old beloved car around and seeing the check engine light turn on, and when you're not a mechanic, and young like me, it can be a bit challenging sometimes. But the challenging part is exactly why you should get an older car (if you can afford it, it's more expensive than you might think, not gonna lie) and experience the pure joy of driving of an older car with less electronics.
As many say: It's not miles per gallon that matters, it's smiles per gallon.

No matter how many parts break on the car, it will never break our heart.

The car that you drive opens its soul to you. She tells you about all her flaws, her weak spots, where she excels, and when she works best. Car guys are the ones that listen to what she has to say and helps her hit higher highs through proper care and upgrades to what she already has.

That moment you take the keys when you buy her you have to listen. For a little while she will need to get used to you, but then, whether it be 1 or 1, 000 miles down the line, she will start whispering to you. She will tell you things about her previous owner, things like where she hits the hardest, and where she needs a little help.The older the car the more character she has, the more stories she has to tell.

Car guys aren't the only ones who listen. No anyone can listen to her talk, however...

Car guys are the ones who listen to her and *talk back.*

My parents say that when I get old I’ll forget about cars I believe I won’t

[mystixr]

I love the feeling when you control the car, when you feel the car when it accelerates, goes fast. The feeling when you get chills after it makes sound. All of that is only a glimpse of why I love cars.

I wasn't a "car guy" before I got my license. But after I got my license many years ago, I finally understood. I finally understood why people like car so much. Like you said, it's about freedom. It's about gripping that steering wheel and knowing that you can go anywhere. Knowing that you can wake up in the middle of the night, and just go for a drive at a twisty back road and enjoy the breeze, the music, the vibration of the road.

My first car was a Prius handed down by my dad. Yeah, I knew it sucked, but I still loved it because it was my first car. Because I now had the ability go anywhere I wanted. As stupid as it sounds, I was really sad to sell that Prius. My current car is the FRS, and I absolutely love it. It was a car that as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted it. and driving the FRS, I understood what my driving style was. As soon as I gripped that wheel and drove home from the dealership, I knew it was worth it to save up for that FRS. I understood what I wanted from the car and like you said, our cars are our identity. In a sense, my FRS is a reflection of myself, and my personality. It's not a fast car, and sure, there are other cars that are better than my FRS, but my FRS is mine and I take pride in that. Before I knew it, I loved talking about cars with other people, I would stand in a parking lot, and would talk about cars with other car guys.

As cliche it is to say, my life is boring without my car. It really is. Don't get me wrong, I am about to get married and have an exciting life but driving was always there when I was feeling depressed and will always be here. I have clinical depression and whenever I would feel depressed and empty, I would call up couple of friends, and go to a back road and it never fails to put a smile on my face.

Maybe others could share their stories as well?

Cars. My passion to cars came from collecting toy cars and playing with them, building garages, making drift tracks, accerlating through the carpet and having fun. Now I get motivated watching car videos and hearing a car reving and accerlating. That keeps me through school and wanting a car when I have the age. Cars are beatiful they are not just peace of metal. Keep building 'em!

I'm shredding tears on this video..hit like if you love cars forever

I don’t really know how I ended up here, but thank you, this afternoon I was told some things that made me rethink my choice of wanting to study a degree in automotive engineering, and that, obviously made me quite sad with myself and I had the need to hear another time why I love so much this machines. Thank you, and remember, follow your dreams, don’t let anyone distract you.

I smiled at this. It doesn't matter if you drive a run down Toyota Corolla or a Porsche 918 Spyder. It doesn't matter if you car is the fastest machine on the road or the slowest clunker around. You don't money to have a car with a big heart (:

Gosh.. if Horizon Festival would be a real thing we would all meet there with our second four wheeled wives.

Is it just me or did anyone else have chills through out the whole video

[pilotenjungep]

I just love driving with the freedom the roads bring, and the feeling you get when you realise that you have become one with your car and your car became one with you it’s just so satisfing and awsome.
