<p>Yeah, cars are pretty boring. They’re just inanimate objects that happen move. I don’t understand the appeal.</p>
<p>I think I know more about scooters than cars. And there’s not much to know about scooters…</p>
<p>Girls are excused from the car knowledge thing…</p>
<p>Anyways, time to watch the rest of Top Gear Season 14 Episode 1</p>
<p>^And why are they excused? They too should know how to fix basic car problems (put on tire, change oil). It’d be stupid to wait and wait for a guy to come along to fix your small problems.</p>
<p>As I gay guy, I won’t have to worry about impressing a girl with my car knowledge. LOL</p>
<p>But if the girl doesn’t get cars, talking about cars isn’t impressive. It’s just boring. We just nod and say “wow” to mask our indifference/annoyance/lack of knowledge. </p>
<p>This guy in my volunteer group keeps on trying to talk to me about cars. It’s gotten so bad that I’m considering whether or not I should study a bit just so I won’t tune out and make him feel bad…</p>
<p>Well fixing stuff is easy…just actual knowledge about car models and whatnot seems useless.
And I agree, I hate when guys talk to me about cars. I just dgaf, and I have to act like I care. I just know there is some car called the Lamborgini(sp?) and I just say I like that.</p>
<p>I didn’t mean it like, “all people should know a lot about cars…” but rather “You should know the basic parts of a car and how to do maintenance”</p>
<p>Car modelsssssssss. It’s so funny when people can’t tell the difference between models like a maxima and an altima. Heck some people can’t even tell the difference between an x5 vs. x3 or even a 3 series vs. 5 series. Whats even funnier is when people don’t know which models go with what brand. Or what brand with what countries. hahhaha.</p>
<p>^Has completely lost me. LOL</p>
<p>I do know that Mercedes Benz is German, Volkswagen is German, BMW is German (?) Honda, Toyota, ect. is Japanese, and Ford is American.</p>
<p>Well yea that’s simple. So I guess I’m clear. It’s just manipulating a bunch of tools and following certain procedures.</p>
<p>^^And woahhh I have no idea wth you’re talking about…lol</p>
<p>All I know is Japanese vs. American cars. You can usually tell it by the sounds.</p>
<p>And that suburban middle class Asian families ALWAYS have one Toyota/Honda minivan + one car like an Acura or Lexus. At least over here that is always true lol.</p>
<p>I get all of my car information from commercials:></p>
<p>^Not a bad place to start.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Wait, you are a New Jersey redneck??? I’m so confused.</p>
<p>Mudding and racing? Seriously? Kids in the country do that. </p>
<p>But yeah I’m not really into cars much. Like I obviously know what some nice cars are but I’m not reading car magazines or whatever. My life is about sports. (And COD since 11/10/09)</p>
<p>But maybe there is something to the city/country thing. My friends who live on farms or whatever do/have (I sort of think it’s sort of a kid/adolescence thing) had dirtbikes or 4-wheelers. These kids also care more about the car stuff. Kids I know from the city, not so much.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’ve never driven a stick vehicle and therefore don’t know how to. Some people would probably bust my chops about it. Whatever. I’m not into the whole ‘REAL MEN DO _____’ train of thought. AKA I’m not a redneck. You can think whatever you want. I’m comfortable in my sexuality and could win a boxing match with > 90% of the male population.</p>
<p>But, don’t feel bad about having sexist thoughts. 
Guys won’t tell you this but 99% of us want you to make us a sandwich…and I’m about to get bashed by the feminazis.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Meet = swimming? </p>
<p>Swimming + real men …my head is exploding.</p>
<p>But it is nice to clear some stuff up about you. I have no problem with you, we’re just different. See, I was under the impression that you were a NYC girl in New Jersey. Now I see you are more of a “THISSSS IS OUR COUNTRYYYY” person. Nothing wrong with that. Just not me. I’m more hip so to speak.</p>
<p>Actually I just realized I don’t have any friends who talk about cars. Maybe it’s just cause I hang out with the athletic/sporty kids but still. I mean I can name companies and where they’re from. But I can’t tell you what some random car on the road is in terms of model. Nor can I describe how engines work or anything. Car love is definitely an old school/redneck thing.</p>
<p>Meet = hang out for cars, racing and ****. It’s basically what got me into cars. Even if you’re not into them, it’s fun as hell.</p>
<p>And redneck? Nahh not at all. I just like American cars, off-road trucks and stuff. I’ll probably get a Jeep eventually though, but Euro (German specifially, I love Audis) are always a win. Racing > Mudding. </p>
<p>I wouldn’t consider myself too old school, and definitely not a red-neck. I’m into haute-couture too, European high fashion if you didn’t know. It’s more so that I have a whole bunch of different interests. It’s complicated…</p>
<p>BTW, the athletic/sporty kids at your school arent into cars? Most the football/baseball dudes I hang out with are always talking about old school Camaros or the latest Jeep.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, everything I want in a man is based off of my father (Freud would have something to say about this). I said in some other thread that I don’t consider a man tall unless he’s 6’3. My father’s 6’2. My father only drives stick, so then I think men have to drive stick. There are so many things I hate about my father that I can’t get over, but I still feel this way about certain things.</p>
<p>^Electra complex? LOL</p>
<p>I’d prefer a guy to make my sandwich. Nude.</p>
<p>Yeah smile seems like a big car person. Not gonna lie. The scene you described I would consider redneck. There’s nothing necessarily wrong with that. Just saying anyone who races is redneck to me. Let’s be honest. Where, geographically speaking, is Nascar popular?</p>
