Confessions of an auto enthusiast.

I can't take a white 90's bronco serious.

The Juke and Murano make me laugh.

I sometimes lick the spoiler of an frs, but not a brz.

Once in awhile, I call a new Honda Civic a "has been" to its face.

I secretly love square cars with round headlights.

I prefer the blatantly stolen grill design on the Ford Fusion, compared to the original grill design of the Aston Martin.

thats... cool man, its what ever your into...

I like wide tires and I cannot lie. You other brothers can't deny, when a car rolls in with a great big hoop, and a wide meat on that loop, you get sprung, wanna pull up tough, 'cuz you notice that fender's stuffed

My pre-grid ritual involves pouring a half bottle of Johnson & Johnson baby powder into my race suit's crotchal region.

I enjoy the feeling of almost pissing myself when the cool suit pump finally primes and kicks in around lap 2.

I once lost a podium at the Glen because I ran out of fuel on the last lap and rolled into the pits instead of just rolling across the start/finish first and getting towed in.

Come out of the closet. No reason to keep it a secret anymore, your kind is accepted now.

My favorite Z-car is the 280ZX.

I slow down driving past stores with big windows so I can see how good I make the car look.

One of my project cars was purchased only because I like the idea of it. I have never driven one to this day, mine included.

I like writing about cars more than I like wrenching on cars.

I make faces and yell "YOU ACTUALLY BOUGHT ONE OF THOSE??? MY EYES!!!! ARE YOU BLIND, STUPID, OR BOTH!?!?!?!?" at people driving Nissan Murano CrossCabriolets. I think all of them that were sold ended up in the Boston area.

Every single day, I am wronged in some way or another by someone driving a Toyota Camry. I call it my Daily Camry. I do not know what automotive sin I committed to deserve this.

In reply to SilverFleet:

You haven't been driving your T/A, that's why.

I do nothing to prevent my dog from further tearing the passenger seat in my Camaro because its an excuse to buy race seats. Or it will be. Eventually. If I ever stop spending money on other parts.

This curse predates the purchase of my Trans Am. It's truly unbelievable.

My interest in cars has been so varied for long that I'm not sure what I'm interested in anymore.

I very much so want to autocross a Lincoln Mark V. Competitively.

I now love the horrible 80's cars (and music) that I loathed for decades.

And this evil place made me desire owning a Yugo. WTF is wrong with you people!

I hate convertibles with a passion, i think they're near the top of the list of worst things to ever happen to a car. It took me purchasing my first Miata to find this out.

To this day, i continue buying Miatas.

I love the luxury and styling of pre-war Packards.

I think pre-war, or any era for that matter, Rolls-Royce are stuffy and boring looking.

More Confessions:

I love big ol' Broughamy barges, and I'm a card carrying member of The Brougham Society group on Facebook. I'd consider buying an old full sized Caddy, Olds, Buick, or Lincoln to cruise around in just like my father, uncles, and grandfather had when I was a kid.

I love 80's digital dashes, especially the one I used to have in my old 1987 Cougar XR7.

I want a weird Neoclassical car from the 70's/80's so I can make it a nasty track-worthy sleeper, simultaneously blowing everyone on track away and making spectators eyes pine for blindness.

I have strong feelings for custom vans. I would love to build one. I would do a retro video game themed one, and it would rule.

I can build cars to go faster then I can drive them....... (can get motion sick moderately easily )

I think we might be related.

These are great. I too love 80's box...

I think round headlights are the greatest thing ever.

I want a car with hydraulics.

Hey me too!

I really want to own a turbo AWD kia soul.

Today while coming home from an errand the idea of putting a Mazdaspeed 3 engine into my WRX somehow popped into my head. Not for any reason other than because it would be funny.

I want something bagged.

I stopped today to look at a neon coupe that needs a lot of work. I don't want another project, and have never driven a base model sohc stick neon. I have no time, money, or space for another big ass project. I offered him $250 and he accepted. Now what.
