Fun & Games Most liked posts in thread: The car addiction thread. Where to come to get help.

I may have a problem:

I have countless racing and humorus vehicular shirts and hats.

I am currently listening to IMSA radio so I can hear the the practice sessions at The Glen.

I daily drive a manual and rev-match down shift every time I slow down.

My wife has a Stage 2 Cobb Tuned WRX and works part time for IMSA and COTA. She is an enabler....

 

1. No, There is only one Dave.O
I do have a roll around cart full of detail products and detail
my cars and relative's cars. But not nearly as much as
Dave.O

2. No, that's just crazy

3. No, I only race on the streets.

4. Yes, ever since the first radar detectors came out in the '70's

5. Yes, though it's in a carport, I back it in so I can see it
better when I walk by it.

6. Yes, three MINI tees and two hotrod car show tees

7. Yes, Classic Motorsports magazine and MC2

8. No, She encourages my car hobby, I'm not hanging out in
bars and she knows where I am.

9. No, I talk to the radio, and the dog, but not the MINI.

10. No, there are few pothole around here and they are easy to
avoid

11. SCCA - Sports car Club of America. The rest, I have no
clue.

12. No, I don't have a smartphone.

13. Sort of, I watch car shows very infrequently.

 

Hello. My name is Teddy and I am an addict... Buff said.

 

Hi, my name's Dave, and I'm a caroholic.

Crowd answers *Hi Dave*

I did not get it from my dad, but I am afraid I have passed it on to my son and my grandchildren - girls and boys!

 

I can quit any time I want.

 

no way, not me

Hmmmmm-a lifestyle business servicing/modding/loving MINIs
Over 80 cars and 20 motorcycles owned in my life-current fleet includes A 2003 R50cooper/2008 R56 Red Bull cooper/ 2008 MCS 250 whp/2009 MCS 150,000 miles daily driver just because I LOVE the redwood red leather interior/ 2012 MCS 112000 miles ONE thermostat is the only repair ever needed beyond service parts-best MINI ever! AND a 2015 Paceman…. Plus an 05 Pontiac GTO and a BMW motorcycle. Leisure time spent with SCMM all over SoCal, as well as supercar Sundays, driving events, MTTS for some leg each time and once all the way….naaaah I don’t have am addiction, heck I’m nearly normal!

 

To be "normal", you'll need to get a Classic to round out your collection....:ihih:

 

Maybe being a car enthusiast skips a generation, my dad looked at cars as appliances, my grandfather always had really cool cars and motorcycles.
For years, granddad drove a Lagonda. His last car was an Austin Princess with Austin-Healey 3000 running gear.

 

Yes, I admit it, I have a wee small problem. I got 100% if that was a quiz, unless you toss out #1, the maybe 98%

 

excellent point-parking would require getting rid of something though---ugh-decisions decisions--they are ALL my children!

 

I don't have a car problem....
I buy one, I sell one, I buy another one... no problem!

 

My problem is that I buy a car, see another I like and buy that one too, and so on and so on. I don't sell the old ones.

I have six cars and a motorcycle and am lusting after another car. I'll get it, just as soon as I add on to the garage.

 

Hi my name is Dave.0.

Crowed answers: "yeah we know"

I have a car problem but I enjoy it. The wife love it because if she gets annoyed with me, which does happen often she says go play in the garage with the Mistress. : * Note she named the car not me. :smilewinkgrin:

Going out to wash both cars today.

 

You're so damn fortunate Dave... She's a keeper!

 

Oh do I know it. :ihih:

Her RX350 is always clean, so she is happy.

Happy wife, happy life. <-- I learned that the 2nd time around. :lol:

 

A Classic would be so small, you could even park it sideways in a normal 2 car garage. I know this to be a fact, because I did it in my parents' garage when I was in high school with my '59 Morris Mini Minor. I even had enough room to get in and out the driver's side without bashing either car or getting nailed by the garage door as it came down.

So, you see, getting a Classic would not mean you would have to get rid of one of your other children at all. :ihih:

 

Currently, I've got two Classics (one belongs to a buddy of mine) and two Jags in our garage... Still have room for something else, but the wife will be headed out'a town if I were to pop on another one... I do have something in mind though. I think three sideways in the 2 car side might work.
