>not patting it on the dash

Y-yeah

Sometimes I hug it

No. Anthropomorphizing is for women and children. Treat your vehicle like a machine that it is.

>Do you look back at her after you've parked and walked away

>Do you sweet talk her with words of encouragement

I do.

My Focus ST is the best thing ever. I fucking love it.

Maybe once I'm done paying it off in a couple of years the price of a used RS will come down and I can buy one!

Yes, definitely.

Only time I've done shit like that was when it got through some pretty bad winter floods. I get back, put it in the garage and pat hand on dash and say, in my Russian accent "You do very well my friend, you good car". Sometimes it plays up and again I say "My friend, I buy you good things, new parts, fuel, I clean you and you repay me like this? Bastard!" Life is odd.

>do you love your car
Yeah
>do you talk to it?
It talks to me if I turn the radio off
>patting the steering wheel
Nah.
Car guys are just grown children with bigger more expensive toys so I fail to see the issue.

>hoonin all night

>go inside and cry

Usually I prefer cussing at my pickup than sweet-talking it.

How can you go inside if your foot is stuck in wheel?

Fake story.

Yes I do, nothing like that autistic fat fuck that fetishises a Hyundai but I do love my car, I appreciate it like some people appreciate their pets or their musical instruments.

Go tell that to the sailors who for millenia have anthropomorphized vessels as "she".

Are you me?

Yeah I love my car. Have had it for 11 years the end of May.

Plan on keeping it forever

of course, im not some kind of retarded faggot.
its like Walther Röhrl said

>you can't treat a car like a human - a car needs love.

Sometimes when im rolling with my friends and pass them in my pigfat impala on a corner, i will pat the steeringwheel without meaning to just because happy

Close, I've got a black 2013 :)

>this one group of people has been doing something retarded for centuries
>???

I really like your car. If you were cute I'd blow you, completely homo.

>Evo 9

I totally understand and am jealous

People who refer to their cars as women make my skin crawl. Fuck off you virgin.

My car has no gender. /tumblr.

Is that an rs500 or am I just blind

I like my car. It never breaks, parts are cheap and easy to boltand even though it has litterally no power it's still very nippy.

It's a good tool.

I love my car.

I always let her warm up for 13 seconds before putting her in drive and I never gun it until it's fully warmed up. I even run the air conditioner in the Winter to make it last longer.

She's getting swirls on her delicious paint and I'm not sure if it's safe to compound & polish her :( What do?

>its like Walther Röhrl said
that is FANTASTIC

I like it, not love it.

If it werent for FWD and a shitty 3 speed autotragic tranny with OD i would treat it like a fine woman.

It's more like a fat chick with a suprisingly tight pussy that can give a damn good fuck.

She's always up for it, gets the job done when you have no other options, she isn't batshit crazy or demanding.

Cheap, not gutless, reliable, and suprisingly comfy.

But not the fastest, lightest, or most satisfying around.

a u t i s m

machinery is female
ships, cars, boats, weaponry

There's a thread about detailing right now. Check the catalog

Watch some how to vids on youtube and use a gentle product to start.
Also proper washing and drying technique will prevent swirls in the future.

this is getting creepy

no wonder you weirdos don't have girlfriends

Women will never understand the bond between man and machine.

>tfw I did this to my Camaro after finishing Chicago to Seattle in 48 hours, counting gas stops, sleep, etc.

I love my car, while not even liking some aspects of it.
It is slow.
Not just base model fiesta slow, but even slower.
It tops out at 110mph, but gets me 60mpg on a tank when driving 50mph most of the time.
And yes, I wax my small econobox once per month and refuse to eat in it and only drink water in it.
I get her fully synthetic 5w30 oil in shorter intervalls than nessecary while she could take 15w40 mineralic oil.
I let her warm up about 1 minute before driving off slowly and only drive faster than 60mph after about 10 minutes of driving.

sup focus bros, mines a bit of a shitbox but it's fun as all fuck to drive

>Do you look back at her after you've parked and walked away
everytime

mfw no qt3.14 Lumina to caress.

Ive loved most of the cars ive owned.
Currently loving my SHO. Will love it more when I get a unleashed tune and methanol injection kit.

I just bought my first car, of course I love the thing.

That is a bit too much...

I got a semi desu

Listen here wise guy...

Unless you make over $200,000 annually, a car is the most expensive piece of equipment and technology you can own.

On your deathbed you won't be thinking about all the missed chances on pussy, but you'll sure as hell be thinking about taking your baby out for a spin on Friday Nights, the plush leather seats, the smell of gasoline, the music blaring, the night lights around you... Just you and your car on the open road..

The American dream.

who here paied sub 2k for their car?

>not patting the roof when you get out

Paid 1700 for my winter beater

>Touching the paint ever

I've never payed more than 1.1k for a car

rate

No because I'm not a loser wannabe enthusiast who tries to make up for being a shitty driver with autistic feelings for a piece of fucking machinery
You should all kys

t.bus rider

Go back to sticking dick in your mums ford escort wagon

No I don't love my shitbox but I haven't found anything I actually love for five years so I keep driving it.

>puts up with a rotary
>not autistic about cars

Bullshit, that isn't yours

500 for my first and 2k on the nose for current

>change oil every 3000
>premix every fill up
Wow so hard and autistic

>not mine
Lmao okay Busta bitch lurk more

>48/2=24
>24 hours in day
>48/24=2
>2 days

No. Get out you FAG.

I talk to my FD.

Those things have to be gently coaxed into running with lots of patience and affection, it's like dealing with an old cat.

solstice are two seaters though

B..b..but I have four cars.

Does that make me a polygamist?

>Do you love your car?
Yes
>Do you talk to it?
Guilty
>Do you pat it on the steering wheel when it's been good?
Guilty again

its ok i guess. its pretty quick according to most of my friends, who all own sports cars. sounds really good too.
It definitely doesnt impress anyone but its a fun little car and does what I need it to do. Its also easy to work on and dirt cheap to maintain,

Paid $1200 for this piece

>Do you love your car?
Yes
>Do you talk to it?
No
>Do you pat it on the steering wheel when it's been good?
No

I don't anthropomorphize things anymore, I'm no longer in grade school.

Man, I wish the evox wasnt shit

Wonderful car, ruined by slant-eye styling.

Turned the fucker into a bar of soap with Lexus-like electric razor faceplate. I've been disgusted with it since 2007.

>defending a broken down rx7

rotards lmao

oh wowww a 30 hour drive in a 48 hour time span. so impressive.

>Do you talk to it?

No. Don't anthropomorphize cars. They hate that.

It isn't. It's an absurdly capable platform. You just need money to make it good.

no, i just hate-fuck it into submission.

and it is glorious.

>They hate that.
user NOOOOOOOOOO!

When I clean my car every week, I use a lot of sweet talk. I always pay it on the dashboard after a long drive or tackling corners. I always remind it that even though it's only an automagic LS, I still love it to death. I always talk to it about how nice it'll be once I have the money to restore the wheels and pop out the little dents all over it from when it's original owner wasn't so nice.

I think I might be mildly autistic.

It's the same with pilots. Any vehicle that treats you well and preserves your life deserves to be treated well and even personified a bit.

>fellow Maryland bro

noice, love our new plates

But sailors referred to their ships as female because they were temperamental craft, like women.

the weather was temperamental, boats are just wood, canvas, and rope ya dummy

cant handle oil changes and premix? get off Veeky Forums you fucking normie :^)

...

>Do you love your car?
It's more of a close friendship with it.
>Do you talk to it?
Of course I do.
>Do you pat it on the steering wheel when it's been good?
On the dashboard over the instrument cluster, or the interior door handle. Or on the roof as I get out.

>Car guys are just grown children with bigger more expensive toys
Growing up is overrated. I like my motorised toys. 8 year old me would approve of my hobbies and possessions.

This guy knows what's up
>not spoiling it with hand washes and higher octane gas from time to time

dc2 a cute!

>Childhood admiring cars and the people who drove them for a living
>Spent my teenage years learning about and dreaming of cars
>The day I got my driver's license, happiest day of my life
>Now spend 4-6 hours a day reading about cars on Veeky Forums and thinking what I could have done differently my life
>I should have spent that money I was saving for my mom's surgery on new tires instead
>Why am I so lonely?
>"lol, wtf are girls or other people?"
>mfw

>looking back after you've parked and walked away

I thought I was the only one who did this

I care for it but im not autistic

My car is merely a status symbol, part of my image - just like expensive watch or dressing well. I got no emotional attachment and working on it is more like a chore for me

If it looks good i even snap a pic but hardly ever end up posting it. Especially after a wash.

>I should have spent that money I was saving for my mom's surgery on new tires instead

no

>that's a hot little car
>I might need to fuck this car

>apologize for driving on shitty roads/over potholes
>thank it for being reliable
>pray for it to maintain being a nice, cheap comfy ride (so far no problems but knock on wood!)
>only fill up with Top Tier-rated fuels

Yes I love my car, I also do those little things to it.

>car was down and had a lot of issues
>couldn't drive it for a month
>one night came in the garage to do laundry
>put hand on the hood
>"I'm not giving up on you"

Not my car, as I don't have one.
But my true love is my baiku. She might not be perfect, a bit on the heavy side and slow too. But she never let me down on purpose, and deals with my bullshit.
She doesn't ask for much, just being ridden hard whenever I can.
I talk to her. I hug her and pat her on the tank.

She's going to get a new friend soon, I hope she doesn't see it as me cheating on her.

easiest way to spot underage/socially-stunted is when they react with hostility to anything they perceive as "immature"

Neighbor laughed at me yesterday. Limo has a pluged carb and running on 4 cylinders. Wanted to charge the battery for a bit so i started it. Shot of either and she popped right of. Shut the hood and gave it a pat.

LOST

"Who's a good girl, eh? Who's a good little cutsie German girl?! It's you! Sher gut!" :3

Just remember, real men attack in the corners.

Yeah.

I've apologized more than anything.

I pat the dash when we pull off a long haul, make it through a hairy situation, or when thing are swell and the revs are good.

>Schatzi

This is the only way we autists can cope.

Also I blame this movie.

>make it through a hairy situation
Like a little while ago I chained up and drove to a trail head. All these bro trucks and jeeps were pulled over at the first lot. I blazed by only to find trees had fallen over the road, but there was a little room underneath. I blasted through the branches and heard them scrape my roof. Fuck yeah. Next bend there is a tree laying on the ground, partially buried by snow. fly over it and get my rear axle a little air. Glad I tucked all my lines in so nothing would catch. I'm the only one that has made it this far so I'm rolling up on the upper lot into a open field of untouched snow. I do a few donuts and park by the trail map.
Rub the dash with a smile.
Get out, survey the damage, only some twigs etc in the grill/bumper.
I love driving a beater.
