A man and his car, a man forms a special bond with his car, he learns to feel everything that the car is doing, he knows if a tire is low just by the feeling the car gives him, he feels the power of the engine as he shifts through the gears, his car becomes a part of him, and extension of his body and a creative out, he loves to put time it to his car and make it look and run better.

He likes to make it go faster, he love how it makes him feel to drive it, a man will always enjoy bragging about his car and showing it off, he gets excited when events come to town where he and his car can join in, especially if it means that he could win a trophy, plaque or some other prize to show his car off.

Men are car crazy, and if your not one of us then you'll never understand why we're that way, just roll with the punches and learn to love the car as much as the man does, cars give us men an outlet for our creative endeavors, and a way to enjoy being creative, a man can invite all his buddies over for the week end to help work on his car, and since their men they will be glad to help work on the car, all they need a some cold beer and pizza and their off and running.

A guy loves everything about his car, and it doesn't matter if the car is done yet, he will drive it half way done and be proud to do so, he was impressed when he bought the car, and he will still be impressed with it years from now, a man does not get sick of his car, he will spend his entire life trying to make it exactly what he wants, rather that happens to a custom car, or a factory prefect restoration his car will be what he wants.

He doesn't care, nor will he listen to any suggestion that would take him away from his car for any length of time, he doesn't want to sell it to buy a newer car, a man loves his car to the very end, and though you might try, you will never change that, if the car bug gets in to a man's blood, he will never get rid of it, it doesn't matter how hard he tries, I know because I tried to shake it my self, and I know how hard it can be.

I went to computer school, because I thought I was going to be getting out of the automotive business, and getting in to a business that made more money, boy was I wrong, I make a lot more doing what I know, and have fun doing it, I was bitten by the bug at age 12, and have never gone back yet, though I have tried to no avail.

I still get all giddy just like a school girl every time a see a cool car, a car that I know a man has put a lot of time in, a car that is now a part of that man, a car that gives him freedom, his car will never scream at him, and it will always do what he likes, a man's car will never let him down in any way.

Form the out side looking in, you might think that the man has gone insane, but this is just a good sign that you have no idea what he likes, nor do you care, if you don't understand, please have him help you learn, and maybe you can be a part of this very select number of people who go nuts at the sight of a pretty car.

The only way that you could ever understand this, is to be a part of it, and once your in, you can never get out, so get ready to take it on.
