TRUE ROMANCE
You experience love at first sight—at least twice a week. From online dating (Carsales) to relationship advice (Drive magazine), car lovers are constant flirts.
There is no sweeter fragrance than the smell of high-octane fuel. Oh baby. After you’ve parked your car and are walking away, you always look back over your shoulder for another glance.
You know exactly which cars you would buy if money were no object. And you update your wish list nightly.
Labelling it a passion or an obsession seems extreme, but in reality, it’s putting it mildly. Car enthusiasts don’t have a weekend hobby. Car lovers have a 24/7 obsession. They love retro cars, muscle cars, supercars, and most of all, they love their own car.
Washing the dishes is a chore, but washing your car is pure pleasure.
The only things you want for Christmas and birthdays are car-related.
Netflix marathon? Nope. Brunch? No time. The only things you do in your spare time is research cars, work on cars, and hit the open road.
The only time you’re not driving your car on the weekend is when you’re either modifying it, fixing it or go-karting.
Car lovers are cultured people. To car fanatics, the only difference between high and low culture is the suspension. Money can buy cars, but it can’t make you a true car lover. There are things only car lovers understand about car culture. It’s not where you were born or even what car you drive that matters most—it’s how much you love them.
Car lovers consider carbon fibre a greater achievement than penicillin.
The most important lessons in history come from retro cars.
A movie can have no plot, terrible acting, and poor camera work—but if it has a great car chase scene—it can still be a classic movie.
Art shows? Please. The real culture awaits at the Auto Shows.
