5 Noob Car Guy Habits Vs. Veteran Car Guy Habits!

New Car Guys vs. Veteran Car Guys
The reality is we’re all new to a hobby at some point and the longer we stay, the further we advance. Here are the most noticeable differences between newbies and veterans!
1. Constantly Changing Cars vs. BUILDING ONE
Not always a bad thing. Maybe you’ve yet to find the car you really like. So you’re experimenting with many different platforms until you finally love one.
Greatest financial move ever is to stick with a car longer. As for content creation, it’s the dumbest thing you can do, due to audience’s lack of boredom.
2. Financing Mods vs. SAVING FOR THEM
You want to rush a build instead of actually thinking about it.
The internet has made us more impulsive than ever since it always shoves mods in front of our faces.
3. Doing something for Clout vs. DOING SOMETHING CAUSE YOU LIKE IT
“Bladed you did Anime for Clout.” Uh-huh, yeah I did a completely controversial mod that literally got hardly any views, yeah bro, totally for attention. OR MAYBE CAUSE I LIKED IT.
I’ll only do this mod if I get 1000 likes!! HOW BOUT YOU DO IT CAUSE YOU LIKE IT???
Watch the video to get the other 4. Scroll up nerdsssss, I'm gonna go back to playing some CRAB GAME now.

You’re a real car veteran when you have multiple 10mm in your toolbox.

One thing i learned quickly, working on your own car brings so much more frustration, and joy. Theres a lot of character that any car has that is built up, than a new one of the lot.

"Everyday is a school day" A quote that I will never forget. Also to add on about buying a sports car, most people like to keep their first car and then save up to buy a second car which could be that sports car they want. Its always smart to have a backup car just in case the fun car is broken or in the shop. But thats just my mindset, everyone else is different really

Not sure if anyone mentioned it here, but for helping in getting over the repair fear: the maintenance manuals for your car are likely online. Point for point the information the dealers provide to mechanics, and they're decently inexpensive. I found the pdf of the 4 manuals for my car for 30 bucks. You still need the confidence in yourself to do the repairs, but if you've gone far enough as to search for and buy your car's repair guide, I think you'll pull through.

this video legit changed my perspective on exotics and helped me open my eyes to the truths of being a full on car enthusiast

[TheMasterOfNone]

I'm rocking a '96 Opel Corsa B, that's how much of a car enthusiast I am. I've been in love with cars for decades which has brought me to a point where I can truly appreciate something as simple as a well kept STOCK Corsa and stand in awe at the fact that the original upholstery is still in good shape and clean aswell. It's a cute little city car and fun for country roads aswell. Very handy and agile for tight european city streets

My uncle is teaching me some mechanics stuff recently. Teached me how to change brake discs. (pads) and this weekend we are doing an oil change.😁 starting off smol i guess

[SEEmenSniper]

Bladed really is needed in this community, more people like this! Sad to say they are few and far between. Nowadays there are more phonies in the car community than real car enthusiasts.

The vette getting rear ended part came as a real shock, i went from smiling ear to eas by watching this, to a full on pout, senko style. hope it gets good soon✌

Im a vet car guy with 20+ yrs being one. I have a rare car alot of shops won't even touch. So I learned to keep my car running while other owners ditched their models and got newer cars. I bought the car from someone who did that. Much props for this vid!! 👍👍🙌🙌

[matthewwoods]

Started off with a truck. As I got more into cars, I knew I wanted a sports car. Over time, I got a BRZ then finally landed in my Porsche Cayman. Its quite interesting since people at work will see my car at the lot and talk about it. And honestly, I wanted a car that was mid-engine and just sang when I pushed her. I do my own work as far as I can with the tools I have.
But if I see a sweet build, no matter if its JDM, Euro, or Domestic, I always love to talk with those guys and girls. I dunno man, I just love to geek out about different cars and see what kinds of builds people do since it is an extension of the driver themselves. I'll still thumbs up and compliment BRZs and NA Miatas. We all start somewhere.

This guy is just spitting facts throughout this whole entire video🔥

[ghost-cezo]

I definitely started off lusting over expensive cars and over the years I've come to realize I'd rather throw a cheap pocket rocket around and ultimately through a corner rather than own anything high-priced and high maintenance

I don't think I've necessarily lowered my standards, rather I'm figuring out what I really want with a car: it doesn't need to go fast, it just needs to be exciting

[Fgjmnz]

I drive a 94 Jeep Cherokee, and honestly it wasn’t my first choice; but, over the past year that I’ve had it, it’s really grown on me. I’ve been slowly doing the maintenance that had been neglected, and even though it already has 230k miles on it, I’m gonna keep it. Hoping to eventually swap it with a 5.7 hemi just to keep it mopar. Been so much fun learning the repairs over the past year, and you can always transfer knowledge onto other cars too.

My first car is (I only bought it last month) a Peugeot 206 CC and so far, I love it.
Engine is easy enough to work on, it's nice and compact, has some nice pull to it (for a car that, for all intends and purposes is bone-stock) and has an electric hard-top (which is nice for when summer comes around).
So far, the only "complaints" are just things due to it being a bit old and probably by a daily-driver for a "regular" person but nothing some TLC can't fix :)

[melsilva]

Totally hilarious! I'm old, okay. I started out with a clapped-out Datsun '69 510, graduated to owning several '80's Mustangs, all of which I tracked regularly. Then we had a kid, and I bought an E36M3. I worked on all of them because to make the family budget work, I had to do stuff myself. I sold the M3 15 years ago and bought a pickup truck. Now that the kid is in college, I'd really like to get another sports car, but retirement is looming, and I need to not spend cash frivolously. People, just enjoy the community that is "Car Guys". Most are really helpful and will help fix your junker in the pits if you ask. I miss that.

[athcenturysuitofgothicarmor]

I got one of my dream cars which is a foxbody mustang, it's a 92. And I've been saving up to get some much needed upgrades, still enjoy it tho.

[GixxerRider]

I started out working in a tire shop as a summer job in college not knowing a damn thing about cars or car culture. I never even saw the Fast and Furious movies until I was in my mid twenties. Learning to work on cars before I became even remotely interested them as a hobby was a blessing in disguise. By the time I bought my first sports car (370Z) at the age of 30, I already had a decent collection of tools and 10 years of experience under my belt. I've done all my own work so far.

[lordspice]

my biggest mistake when i first got a car was getting a loan instead of a lease
the past three years i've changed to three different cars and i finally landed on a GTI and i've still been in love since i got it

I've found a big noob mod is sway bars, yes you CAN improve handling by adjusting your sway bar preload. BUTT most people are like "yeah I bought the big sway bar front and rear kit". 99.9% of the time a set of digressive adjustable dampers, or just some adjustable sway bar end links to adjust oversteer or understeer is a much better mod that will yield much more performance.
