I think I'm crazy... - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Do you feel chest pain and cannot focus at work, after had the front bumper bottom scratched by the curb this morning?

I do now...and keep thinking how to fix it. The best option now is to buy a front lip to cover that bottom scratch to heal my chest pain... A good excuse?

Noticed above: I said "scratched by the curb" not me run into the curb. This sickness can turn reality around...

I have always thought this kind of behavior is how our subconscious learns the dimensions of the car. So when you are drifting or racing you know exactly where the tires and body are. That way you can get really close to the wall or edge of the track and in my mind the stands are filled with chicks so you need to impress them.

My wife doesn't even think it's unusual when I go to the garage to look at my car. Of course we've been married a long time.

More than any other car I've ever owned the BRZ really has some great lines on it. I love the view over the hood with the tops of the fenders rising up. I love the shape of the wing mirrors. So much goodness to look at.

I have always liked to stand and look at my favorite cars that I have owned over the years. This one is equal to the best of them. I have owned lots of great sports cars, and this is one of the most fulfilling that I have ever owned. I don't grin as much at 0-60 times as I do when I whip a car around a corner, slide the rear end out and pop it back like it was just waiting for me to give it input. Have owned lots of powerful cars, but few have made me smile like this car when I put it through it's paces....... But then we are all different..... I take pleasure in every corner that comes up, and don't really care how fast off the line it is.

I have separation anxiety on a regular basis.
My garage is almost 400 feet away. My condo didn't come with one so I have to rent one clear on the other side of the complex. When I take my daily driver I make it a point to pay it a visit.

I like to grease up the exhaust, light a few candles, and have hot steamy sex with mine. Does that make me crazy?

Lol, how do you handle the 2 exhaust?

An epidemic is starting...I stare at my car for about 1-2 minutes before going into work...kinda makes me work harder.

DarkSunrise · 01-08-2013, 06:07 PM

Hell even the passenger I carpool with to work stares at it as he walks away after I park it. No joke. And he's not even a car guy.

I don't have this problem with the FR-S, I had the problem with my Supra.
