Cars and Guys

What is it about cars that sends shivers down guys'(and women) spines. Is it the low rumbling grunt of a V-8? the smooth and rough lines on the car, or is it simply the ability to go fast. Cars, there are pretty ones, ugly ones, cool ones, and just downright weird ones, but behind every car i can bet there is atleast one guy who loves it. For me, the first car that i "fell" in love with was my dads first M. 1997 BMW M3 4 door sedan 5 speed manual.


E36 M3
Yes it may not be some super car with fins sticking out the side with a rocket in the back, but it was something i looked up to, and something that frankly i admired.
Exploring this topic really is going to be tough, i mean this is a very abstract story and it will make you think about cars and what you like and what you dont like. Let us start with the basics though. Your born, your a little baby, even from here everything can affect how you look at cars. Does you dad or mom drive a nice car, for me i didnt see some poster of a ferrari and just fall in love i fell in love with something that was concrete something that i could experience and feel, now for somebody else it could be a car that they might never own, like a ferrari, lamborghini, or a 1 million dollar bugatti, haha.
Now though you have grown up and you can experience the cars, you can drive them and really see what its like, and even if you dont have the fastest car in the world, it is still your baby. Now this is very interesting, just how a dog is man's best friend it seems that us as people develop a connection with our cars. Now most people of course just look at a car as something that goes from point a to b, but us, no we enjoy our cars fast or slow, we learn them and we appreciate them. People might read this and think man this guy is crazy, does he want to marry his car or something, well for me its true, i truly do love my tl, i love everything about it, its a quick little car, and for a first car it is a dream. I guess what draws car lover to the cars they love is the bond that they build with those cars, whether it is in their imagination or if it is something that actually experienced. A car community is not a group of people who know what a gear ratio is, or what ABS is(which should be known... just saying) it is a community of people who just love cars, whether its the looks, the sound, or pride in the company, we all have something to offer. Thankyou for reading.

P.S. you can probably see why i have a predisposition for BMW now.
