On the phone RIGHT this minute with my wife:

Wife: "I'm thinking about getting my hair colored.."

Me: "What's wrong with your stock color?"

wow.


Does anyone else have stories about when they use 'car' terms in non-car conversations?

I refered to my uncles back problems as a bent chassis...
:P

Me talking to my girlfriend: "Have you ever thought about switching to synthetic breasts?"

Actually I don't need to say that!

Me talking to my girlfriend: "Have you ever thought about switching to synthetic breasts?"


I use that ALL the time, sorta -

"They aren't FAKE breasts...they're Mod'ed"..."Getting bigger WHEELS for your car doesnt mean your wheels are somehow FAKE does it??"

:)

:rofl:

I prefer my women stock, as opposed to modded. :) (I use that one all the time heh)

Me talking to my girlfriend: "Have you ever thought about switching to synthetic breasts?"

Actually I don't need to say that! If she went too far, would that be rice?

WHen you spy rotary powered cars (and bikes) in movies and shows.

how about when you are still hitting toy aisles and such in search of Hotwheels, model cars, other deicast/automotive stuff ? :D:

My GF colors her hair & I always refer to it as aftermarket.

It works both ways though, b/c I used non-car stuff to explain mods. For example - when I was ordering wheels & she said "what's wrong with the ones that are on it?" I simply answered - "the 8 wants new shoes."

G/F: "So Im on call from 8 untill close, so youre probably gunna have to pick me up at around midnight... okay?"

Me: "Do you think this midpipe is too loud?"

G/F: "Youre not paying attention to a word Im saying are you?"

Me: "Yeah, me too... Im sure it will sound better once I get a cat-back."

Lol, I feel awfull but I do stuff like that a lot from what she tells me... its completely subconcious.

she said "what's wrong with the ones that are on it?" I simply answered - "the 8 wants new shoes."

That sounds like me!! LOL

When I got the screw in my tire I said poor Bella hurt her foot and needed to get her shoe fixed. When I was getting my wheel redone because they scratched the inside around the logo, they gave me a really shiny chrome wheel in the meantime. When I was supposed to go somewhere I said I didn't want to take my car because Bella was embarassed that her socks didn't match. :rofl:

I apologize to my car when i have to put a lesser company's fuel in her.

Whenever Im a quart low, I say the beast needs to feed.

I dunno if this counts but part of me feels like I'm cheating on my car if I drive in someone else's car or I have to drive that car. :( Though I try to make up for it by really drying the space's between the door's and the door sill. No more ugly paint stripping weather stripping for by baby! :ylsuper:

Also when your 27 and still swing in KB Toy's to go down the male action isle to check out what diecast cars they have in stock praying to see a Rx-8! (I know someone already said it but it had to be repeated with a age attached lol).

You have memorized your own lil version of "Rotary Engine Explaination For Dumbies" for those times when Gear Heads ask "wots a Rotisary?" :rofl:

A rotisary is cooking a chicken by placing it on top of a running wankel engine. I used to do this with aluminum foil and hot dogs at car shows!

.....You know you're TOO into cars when...


you have more RX8 toys than your 6 year old son....and he can;t play with them either. :)

:rofl:

I don't like people touching my stuff either. :)

i have a keeper

old girlfriend (who drives a nissan versa): "i thought of something I want for my birthday"

i've used the 'stock' description for non-car stuff for a long time, and it STILL baffles non-car people all the time lol

You may joke about that but a friend of mine once had a girlfriend named Lori. He dumped her for another Lori and ended up marrying her. He jokes about it as his trade in. He has a yellow 3rd gen RX-7 too!

lol Tell him to "trade up" his old car

I like to "drift" around corners with the shopping cart in stores

-Steakboy

I always get a shopping so i can do this even if im there just to but one thing lol

im an auto-technician. lol, I write down my lunch on Repair Orders.....General Tso's Chicken anyone???

Everyones OEM HERE.!!

I point out every single RX8 or 5th Gen Celica I see when i'm driving (as well as other cars I like, Viper's etc...) The girlfriend is like, how do you notice these things? You must have a car radar or something... But I try and point out vehicles i'm seeing as i'm driving by packed parking lots...

I too check out Toys 'R Us and WalMart and places for RX8's, but have no luck finding anything decent looking around here, just massively riced-out versions...

The other day at Wal-Mart, I was looking through some cars and this guy probably in his early 30's was like: Did you look through these yet?
I said: I haven't yet, i'm just looking for an RX8
He said: Whatever that is (in the absolute rudest way i've heard anyone talk in a long time)
I says: It's just a Mazda
He says: Oh, one of THOSE old things...
I says: Yeah, thats it... and shook my head...

Like fuck... Learn some social skills ya douche or don't try and make conversation...

I don't call prostitutes whores, I call them loose motor mounts

when I walk around csulb, I pretend I am my 8 and I tailgate people then immediately move to their left and speed away from them

I talk to my car while driving her

you know you're into your car when: you can stay up all night and go to a caravan meet at 4am in the morning, fighting the rain and stay all day talking to people you don't even know that have only 1 common thing with you that is you both drive and love the same car, not to mention you washed your car after every down pour of rain, yes you know who I'm referring to, HOLLA!

when....

you start skipping meals to save money for mods.

You wake up in the emergency room and the first thing you ask the doctor is "Is my RX8 okay?"

Doctor: Im sorry son, I have some bad news... youre paralyzed from the waist down.

You: Well that sucks... and my car?

Doctor: Umm, your car is totaled.

You: OH GOD! OH GOD, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

:ylsuper:

i have yet to meet my match at the Food4Less on Katella and Euclid :lol2:

I may have a bit of an obsession (not just w/my 8):

I refer to any new clothes as 'mods'

I tell my girlfriend im cheating on her w/my mistress, her name is rx...last name is 8

I've debated several times of breaking up with my current girl just so i can have more money for mods...

you know you're too into cars when your mood is SOLELY based on your car's current performance

^ shit you and me are in the same both, my gf says "sometimes I think you love your car more than me"

paris, you know what my answer is don't you :)

^one day - im just gonna blurt it out n' see where it goes...haha-

dumped...........is where it goes

SPOILERS! bah!!!1!

G/F: "So Im on call from 8 untill close, so youre probably gunna have to pick me up at around midnight... okay?"

Me: "Do you think this midpipe is too loud?"

G/F: "Youre not paying attention to a word Im saying are you?"

Me: "Yeah, me too... Im sure it will sound better once I get a cat-back."

heh - I think I just had a very similar conversation but I don't know what SHE said .

.........we're a buncha losers with no life, lol thats her definition

.........we're a buncha losers with no life, lol thats her definition

meanwhile she is on BEBO for countless hours chatting about ................ ?

meanwhile she uses all my internet bandwidth while I post on one forum........

When you wash and wax your car more often than you shower and shave.
When a stupid song plays on your stereo and you apologize to your car.
Also, when you get a tattoo dedicated to your car (see avatar)

you guys are crazy........

you know ur into cars when you have no life, summing it all up

lol thats pretty bad dude lol

i wash my car four times a week.. and wax all the time.. and i just look at it.. for hours.. until the sun goes down.. and then i sleep dreaming of what im going to do next to my baby.

Not sure if this means I'm "too into cars", but it goes with the whole "significant other < your car" theme going on here.


This was a while back:


I'm lying on the couch watching my girlfriend play video games and I start to doze off. Just before I completely zonk out, I feel my girlfriend nussle up to me. As I'm putting my arm around her, my cat jumps up next to both of us and cuddles up against both of us. My roommate sees this happen and jokingly tries to cuddle with all 3 of us and says "it's cuddle with Nick time!"
Half-awake I sarcastically say "It's like I'm spooning with everyone in life that I love!"

WITHOUT MISSING A BEAT both my roommate and my girlfriend say at the same time:
"What about your car?"

lol

^ I wish I had a gf that does that, you are one lucky man!

There was the time that I bought my wife Brainstorm Low profile headlights for her Miata for Christmas, my office admin looked at me like I was crazy....but my wife wanted them.

Backed that up with Jackson CAI for the Miata for her birthday!

Mother's day brought Clearwater speakers, rear deck subwoofer and a 300W amp.

Couple of years later installed seat heaters so she could keep the top dropped longer....when her a$$ is warm she thinks of me.

^ and you're wife is cool with that? I hate my life.....

When your husband knows not to buy ANYTHING for you about your car without PRIOR APPROVAL!!

When your hubby buys you a ring for your B-Day.......in the shape of a Tire.

Yeah, the Miata is her toy and my hobby.

Now I have to start upgrades on my 8.

When your hubby buys you a ring for your B-Day.......in the shape of a Tire.

Hah, that's actually pretty awesome.

Aren't all rings "shaped" like a tire? Round.

When my sole motivation for buying my wife a new car is so that I can start spending money on my 8!

freshman year college I couldnt get through biology and that crap because i was never interested in it enought to pay attention. so finally my mom gets mad at me (she is a nurse) and she made me go study with her and my dad (mechanic) and they explained to me everything with referring to cars and how they run. made an A in that class too!!

yea I seem to look at humans(I'm a microbiology major and molecular biology minor) as another piece of machine, maybe I am cutout to be a surgeon afterall you know.......

^^Please let me know where you end up doing your residency so I can avoid that place. I don't want to wake up with a Wankel in my chest!:lol:

this is really bad but when i remember the cars birthday before our first date!!

don't worry, I think you'd need to change your sparkplug wires..........I mean, inflate clogged arteries before you would need a new heart :)

i have that same problem too

I don't call prostitutes whores, I call them loose motor mounts

Yes, but they still call you "John".


My wife knows not to ask me if she can drive my 8 because if she brought it home with a ding or a scratch the marriage would be over.

She'd get the house, I'd get my 8. That's fair. :)

^ your crazy person!

^ your crazy person!

Smiley face means I'm J/K. She'd only get half the house's value and her Subaru, I'd get the other half and my 8.... :)

thats definitly worth it :)

just got busted for this...

i remembered the day i got my 8 and not our anniversary :) <- not all together sure if that's the appropriate smiley for this but whatever...im running with it...

My gf bought me a couple rx8 diecast models such as hotwheels and jadatoys. I had this grey rx8 with jada stickers and nx express stickers everywhere. The cool thing was it had the ms kit all around. I decided to open it and acytone all the ugly off so it ended up completely grey. It was freaken nice. Then the gf walks in and starts blabbering saying its not collecting if I mess it up from its "stock" look. And I said "noooooo THIS is the "stock" look". Hahaha

Two days later I broke off the gt wing to put on an oem wing(couldn't find any diecast cars with a lookalike ms wing) and she walks in and goes.... "ugh!!!" and walks back out. Hahahahhahaha

A couple months later I crashed my 04 grey 8 and insurance bought me an 06 wwp. Can anyone guess what I did to the diecast? Hahaha except the gf didn't see it this time. When we walked out the door to go to dinner she saw white paint in front of the garage door and then looked at me with the devil look and said..... "ugh! I'm never buying you diecast models anymore!!"

I have no idea why, but that is pretty damn funny to me.

I had this thought yesterday... and it kind of worried me. I think I've crossed the line between "facinated with my car" and "obsessed with my car."



I'm cooking some food, thinking about my finances, and I start to brainstorm a plan for saving up money to do my next upgrade. While I'm daydreaming/brainstorming, my contact lens nearly pops out, which immediately triggers the thought "hey - I could just spend the money on laser corrective eye surgery!"
I pause for a moment. I start to debate with myself for a minute or two on which I would rather spend my money on.
I then mentally kick myself when I realize that, for a moment, I was actually placing my CAR'S well-being above my own!

:sigh:

What has this car done to me?

Look very closely at my avatar...that's the Nikko R/C car...and I have a 1/36 SS Kinsmart diecast that I just may photograph in front of the R/C. And if the Hotwheels RX-8 was silver and stock, I'd have one of those, too!

I completely understand what you're saying, imrtommy! :)

wtf, weird ass stories..

here's a great one for ALL OF YOU

when you spend more time reading an online forum about your car more than you actually "drive" your car...........

got ya didn't I :)

I talk to my car all the time She is my pet.. She hurt her paw on the dragon and had to get new paws (Tires) .. Her toenails (calipers) are painted pink.. She likes to take baths..... My boyfriend is jealous of her. We get in the car and I tell her I love her more than daddy, pet the dash etc... I do this on a daily bases....

Oh god, I need help!

I always tell people I have three babies.

1) My car, Aiden... which is the name I actually wanted to name my first child... which I ended up doing anyway, since I consider my car my first child.
2) My Dior sunglasses
3) My boyfriend


... in that order.
