Hey i was just wondering how you guys "view" your car?

A hunk of metal to get you to A,B, C ..... or like I do ... as a pet?

I told a fellow car enthusiast that i view my car as a pet .... and he reckons thats pathetic. It must be a female thing that we have to take our "Maternal Instinct" out on something :p

But yeah it seems fairly divided ..... some people just damage their car and *shrug* n go "thats life" and other people like me get really emotional about it like its the end of the world.

I have a love-hate relationship with my car. I love its potential, but I hate it's constant broken status.

If it was insured, I wouldn't give a shit about it. It's been more trouble than it's worth.

I hate my current ride, my "awesome" vn so to me its an a to be thing and something to be thrashed relentlessly.

however I already love my new hr30 that im building - not like a pet Lauren, but yeah I love cars.

Its a passion otherwise I wouldnt be working hard on Antilag.com :D

My next car will be treated like a prize. But this time I'll be starting from scratch so I'll be able to get more of an attachment with it like I did with the MX-6.

Only thing stopping it at the moment is finances. And the stupid GTi-R.

i cant even find it in my heart to get rid of the ZX :( if i had the money i would insure her n run both cars! but its costs like $1400 just for the R33.

Yeah if anything goes wrong with my cars i get so stressed! Sometimes i think "this is costing me so much and its so much hassle ... why the hell havent i got a cheap hobby" but i just love them so much ... they are like my kids :D ....... but its not only me that has the attachment to my car .... ive had a guy ask if he could have sex with my car before LOL ..... weirdo!

At Jamboree last year, some clown hugged the front end of my car in the carpark.


tj the GTi-R will be sold soon after it's fixed. And street walking won't help. Need something that will actually make me some money.

I'm attatched to the family cars if that counts!!

GTR-R32, GTiR, R31 GTS-R and the list goes on but gets duller from there...oh except the 1200 race car, that I haven't seen for...I don't know how long!!

Everyone seems to have or are selling R31's...we just sold ours as well, but it was a good exchange...R31 GTS-X upgraded to GTR R32...I can live with that!

Just behind My girlfirend my silvia is the most important thing to me..

Love: Its one of the best looking silvias i have seen

Hate: I have spent about the same as i would have on an RPS13 180 with low low k's and all i have is a near stock CA S13....

Mine is love hate to the max but mostly hate and thats why i thrash the bitch every where.. I just want to thrash it till it blows up then RB it or set it on fire depending on the mood at the time.

It's the best car ever and I never wanna sell it. Keep it out of the hands of fully sik Gemini owners who think a Gemini is a better car..

They a bits of crap but I love them. The cefiro atm is testing my patience but I can't stay mad at it. People(mostly chicks) dont understand that with license and car, I am happiest. Dont need to go picking up sluts etc I just drive and that makes me smile.

When lining up against someone and beating them down it just makes me laugh stupidly and smile from ear to ear and my car does me proud :D

They are always for sale my current broken down daily is the longest I have ever owned a vehicle(25 months). Shortest is 4 days VP Clubsport bought it at auction sold it privately made a tidy $4k profit.
