In the interest of getting the off topic board away from some subjects, I propose a question:

Is being a "car guy" just part of you? Something a guy cannot change? I don't really know why, but I've been a "car guy" my whole life. I remember as an 8th grader riding my bike to main street on Saturday nights so I could see the cars of the people "dragging the gut". (That's what we called it...the phrase "cruisin'" came much later.)

But you know, today's club scenes are boring the hell out of me...a new breed of moneyed folks entering who know the cost of everything, but not it's value. A bunch of well off people who write checks to builders & tuners for bragging rights only. Pretentious bozos, IMO.

I've heard a rumor that this country contains literally millions of people who couldn't care less about cars. They treat cars as the basic appliances they are.

So, to the real question: Would it be possible for a life long car guy to flick the car thing in, and permanently join the well balanced majority? Or, would he soon find himself wanting another "special" car?
