4 Types of Car People

Bshields22

Thought I would share the 4 categories of car people I think there are. Maybe there are more but I think these are your absolute core without getting into subcategories:

1. The Collector: Hardly drives the cars he/she owns. Likes to keep it spotless to show people when they come over. Takes it to cars shows...the car has never seen 6th gear though

2. The Enthusiast: Always reading up on the latest about cars, rebuilds etc. Favorite show is Top Gear. Moderate to strong knowledge about whats going on in the car industry. Most likely has a nice car to feel part of the "car world" but doesn't have to own anything special to be a part of it, we are all family lol. Mostly uses it as a Daily Driver. Nothing too crazy.

3. The Driver: Arguably the "real" car person in my opinion. Usually maintains his or her car as a collector would, takes the same interest in the auto community as an enthusiast however uses their sports car or off road vehicle as it should be used. Track day, cruises to no where, rallies, road trips, car meets (blazin a trail for you off road people, or whatever you do )

4 The Mechanic: This is the guy or girl who has a project car or enjoys the work on cars more than anything else. Been working on the car for a LOOOOOOONNNNGGGG time. You have hear him or her say "just 1 more part or tune or pull or whatever lol" (much respect either way). This is the guy every car guy wish he knew. Your trusted mechanic friend . You'll go on a canyon run or track day with him (if the car is finished) then after that event its a few more weeks in the garage re-tuning and making "adjustments".

Much respect to all 4 categories as everyone chooses their own path. Hopefully you guys can all relate. Maybe there is a category I am not thinking of. Pretty sure these cover it.

Thanks for reading!
