I recognize appreciating cool machines, I really do. I’ve just never been able to wrap my head around being a car guy. Spending huge chunks of change on a car, consistently modifying it, watching car shows all the time. I just dont get it. What’s the big draw for you?
My ex bf was a car guy. He got me interested in it and took me on my 1st midnight drive. BEST. NIGHT. EVER. We snuck out of our houses to go driving down LA. It was SO much fun–playing our favorite songs, speeding, seeing the city lights! Wish I could do it again with him. After we broke up, I view cars as a my love for him so I kept my hobby/interest. But it took me awhile to view it that way because cars reminded me of him which equals sad.
Also I’m an artist interested in illustration/concept design. I find prop design (specifically vehicles and weapons) fun to draw. So as a designer, I would research how things work like the mechanics to get a better understanding of the functionality of said object like cars. And I like how some sports cars look with all the sharp spikes and cool gadgets-- a fuel for my inspiration/imagination. And I just like learning new things.
