Are you into cars?

I'm into fixing them if that counts. Not the greatest mechanic by any means but I recently did a twenty dollar fix that the shop said was gonna cost me two hundred for them to do. Always comes in handy to know how to fix your own vehicle. I've thought of even enrolling into college for some courses.

I'm super into cars. Bolt ons, turbo installs, super charger installs, Ecu Tuning, gearing, body work, leather work, carbon fiber work, audio work. since high school me & my friends. We'd Drag them or enter car shows. My friend's have all moved onto bike tuning however.

I don't follow the sport much but WRC & circuit racing stuff i find interesting.

I also play sim racers.

Point A to point B with air conditioning and a working stereo is all I care about.  Been driving a 2009 RAV4 for 10+ years.  So no.

Was it really necessary to bump this twice in two days? It doesn't seem like many people here really care about cars and your bump posts don't really invite any new conversation, and also this area isn't posted in a lot and your thread hadn't even come close to falling off the first page.

Just following the rules.

The only area I've seen which mentions any kind of rules regarding "bump" posts is in the trading section, which allows 3 bump posts per day, and that area is way busier than the off topic section. Also, the bump posts actually make sense in there because people edit their first post when what they want to sell/trade changes.

It hardly seems necessary to keep bumping your cars thread when you have nothing to add to it and no one seems to care.

That all sounds like opinion, which you are welcome to.

Also, your opinion on "no one seems to care": https://imgur.com/bbrfk49

People like, they just aren't bumping it when they like it.

 
Into classic cars, not into the tuner scene.  Actually pretty much the whole family is into classics; dad, uncle, brother, cousins...

I have a 1966 Mustang fastback with 289 4v and a 1961 Buick Invicta bubbletop with a 455 shoehorned into the engine bay.  Guess where I got my user name from?

I bought a new car yesterday: 2020 Tesla Model 3.  So much fun to drive.

Favorite thing about it so far?

Autopilot for sure. It can pretty much drive itself on highways and interstates. Before I bought it, I test-drove a couple of other cars to see where their similar tech was at (Toyota Corolla, Ford Fusion), and neither of them came close: either unable to read the lane markers half the time and constantly disengaging as a result, or constantly swerving from one edge of the lane to the other. The Tesla autopilot keeps the car nice and centered, and rarely has trouble figuring out where the lane markers are.

Also love how the car just takes off instantly. In two seconds flat, you go from completely stopped at a stoplight, to all the way back up to the speed limit.

 
thanks for sharing your insight!

Sounds too good to be true, but you almost convinced me into buying one (lol check my avatar). I sold my car last year and the only vehicle I currently own is a 400cc motorcycle mainly for city (home - job - home). Besides, nowadays I'm supposed to wear a necessary filter mask similar to these when riding (I wear a weird helmet by the way).

Hi! Just joined in, I've been into cars my whole life, I was a mechanic for many years. Just moved into a home with a large garage of my dreams, currently drive a 2016 BMW M235i.

 
How do I get into them? I'd like to understand more of what my mechanic is saying to me, but simple google searches don't do much. 

 
I seen people drive those at a track but never driven one kinda reminds me of fnf when it first came out.
