i think about my car 24/7
whenever i park my winter car next to the stored car i always unlock the doors and just sit in the car for 5 minutes...
i will work on anything on my car during the winter, for its an excuse to go see my car...
whenever i park my car i walk with my head facing backwards just staring at my car.
i have a spidersense that tells me when i think my car is in trouble. sometimes in the summer i just run to the garage to make sure everything is okay
the one time my spidersense went off at 3 in the morning but my mom said "wtf is the matter with you stay in the house"... and turns out somebody tried stealing my car and broke the steering column lol
what can i say, i love my car. i drive it everyday in the summer, who cares if i spend $20 a day on gas its worth it.
my car :hail: :hail: :hail:

well i guess i can accept you guys storing your cars during the winter unfortunately i need my car and can not get another one for the winter so i can only pray for the OTHER person if they ever EVER hit my car due to everyday driving. But until I ahve money to drive a beater during the winter i'll have to drive very very carefully! and keep my gun in the passenger seat haha lolol
by the way this is my 12th car and i'm only 21 years old!! basically my dad has been giving me POS cars to get around and this was my first nice car so 12 cars of crap and if anyone ever messed with my car.. i feel bad for them
also I has a cool sticker that reads...
If you value your life like i value this car...do not F**K with it!!
i think that sums it all up!

Every 7 seconds.
Oh, and every month when I'm paying the bills, because the electric bill is taking away from modding the Formula, so is the heating bill and the cable bill (which I'm going to approach the wife about canceling it so I can save more for the Formula...she'll probably kill me).

I too, think about my car pretty much all day, every day. I park by windows, and go out of my way to drive past shiny glass store windows to check out and admire the side view..
I also like pulling up behind clean (newer) vans or trucks and checking the reflection in the back end of their vehicle!

This thread is pointless, but I'll join in. I think about my car every month, every week, everyday, every hour, every minute, and every second of the year. Do you think I may be....say...OBSESSED with my car?!?!? The answer is yes...

pretty much several times an hour......its an obsession, a disease if you will.
and i think its pissed at me because its in the garage lying dormant....but it will forgive me when it gets nice out again. :rockon:

Car: Accepting applications...
So I am on my honeymoon in the Caribbean two weeks ago, and one morning looking out the balcony of the ship, and the wife walks out, and the sun is coming up, very romantic. She says, "what are you thinking?". My reply: "I wonder what the Camaro is doing right now..." Of course she was mad and said something about it just sitting in the garage since it couldn't do anything else...
And when we got home, the first thing I did was open the garage and say "hello, I missed you too."

You should seek professional help. You've got some serious issues if you're fantasizing about gettin' it on with a car.
I am SURE he is not the only one.

You guys think you got it bad putting them away for the winter. I had to put mine away to go to the middle east. I try not to think about them too much, makes me sad. But theres a few 3d gens over here ive got my eye on.

I really hate it when my car is at the shop for a couple days. I become so anxious as If I left my only child at the hospital (car hospital). I call and ask on the status. Its my worst nightmare when they say, "we have a major problem, you better come down here."
I really don't think about my car all that much unless I have a new idea to do something to it, that's when I start obsessing, but at least I am no where near as bad as rockfourone.

My GPA actually went up last year when i was commuting home about 100 miles every week to work on the car. The semester before that i had like a 2.8, that semester i got a 3.23.
so in conclusion working on my camaro is good for school.

My fiance claims I spend way more time working on/playing with my car than I spend with her......Sadly enough, I must admit that its true. I just tell her I love them both, but in different ways.

Last night I had a dream about my thirdgen. I am shocked at how often some of my dreams turn into reality. I usually have dreams about my thirdgen, and my car still needs paint, interior, engine, and is still slow.
In my dream last night, my car looked the same, but it was fast. This was the first time my car was ever fast in my dream. It makes me wonder what future devianb has done to the engine, did he do a V8 swap, or did he do the mythical twin turbo setup. I hope this dream comes true too.
Now that dream makes me think about my thirdgen even more. I didn't have any aggresive or wild plans for my car, but now. . . . . . . . . . . , I am starting to formulate.

How about when you do like me, store your car for 5 months and dirve a ****ty Toyota tercel with no power. Once you go for your first drive youthink your car pops high 12's ! and everything feel sooooo new, tight and so much better then you imagined it. gotta love that feeling !! 3 days later you're bitching about the sqweeks !
Good call about passing in front of stores with tinted windows to see how good you look in your car. I tought I was the only retard that was doing it !

I think I started to cry while reading all of this. Took me forever. I can't stop thinking, especially since I am halfway through building a 383. I should be doing a paper that is due very soon but I can't stop thinking about my car and all of you guys and girls at thirdgen. I am constantly here and I am always trying to broaden my knowledge and get opinions. Other people I know think I am sick for thinking & talking about my TA so much, so I wont even thing of showing those people this thread. I feel the pain from all of you.
BY the Way, who started this, and look what has become of it.
