As the proud owner of 5 pretty darn nice bicycles, I can assure you that when it comes to anal-retentive about every gram of weight, every snick of the shifter, no car nut in the world can hold a candle to an avid cyclist! Gram to gram, I think competive (and those of us who DREAM of being competitive...) cyclists spend more for their equipment than any other sport on the planet.
Me? Car geek and a bike geek... I drool over a vintage lugged Bottecchia much as I lust for the rich, purposeful curves of a 930 quarter panel. I can ID just about any car on the planet with a glance. Can often nail the year or at least hit within 5 for less common cars. We were watching TV last night and a car came onto the screen - Steve says - "wow, what is that?"
Being the car-geek chick that I am, I said "oh, that's a Maserti Merak, it has a V-6 in it. Remember the V6 that was in the Citroen your Dad had in the shop? Same motor."
You know what the cool part is? Steve just accepts it as being 100% accurate. How freakin' great is that? Damn I married good!
