What a Car Enthusiast Looks Like to Everyone Else

Found this while reading a story Vertigo posted earlier. Definitely don't see car enthusiasts like this, but I can see how others may.

I have a friend that explains the finer details of his $225 coffee grinding machine. He is a car guy too so maybe it's a little different. Additionally I don't drink coffee either.

This washing machine story can relate to just about anything that someone is passionate about. It can be a washing machine, coffee maker, car, photography, (insert your passion here), or whatever gets your juices flowing. We have folks where I work that are really into brewing their own beer, and I couldn't be less interested about this. Now, get me talking about cars, yeah buddy

.

So, as long as people are different, there will be "different strokes for different folks."

Just popping in to high-five on the proper use of that phrase. Even people with otherwise excellent grammar misuse that one without thinking.

I think driving a car and washing laundry are disparate.

Entertainment vs chore...

While I understand that some people think driving/maintaining a car is sort of like a chore, but I cannot imagine that a sane human being considers doing laundry entertainment.

I would guess that people who aren't into cars view car enthusiasts in the same way that I view people who enjoy politics or knitting. It's not my thing, but I can understand in a small capacity that people enjoy it. I cannot understand someone who thinks of laundry as entertainment unless it's in some bassackwards manner like their life sucks in all other aspects, and laundry is their release, which imo demonstrates they're not sane.
