Cars: Passion or addiction

I was watching Miami Ink the other night on TLC and Ami James, the store owner, was buying a car, now that the shop is doing well. He ended up buying a 1972 Cuda with a 340. Being someone who has had cars in the past made me think. Why is that kids are so into cars? Ami makes some 'money and made the first big purchase was a car.

I tried to figure out what car it was that made me buy cars. My last purchase was a toy car Buick Grand National 1987 with 10,042 miles original. The car was beautiful. So beautiful, in fact, that I almost never driven the car for fear of something happening to it. As much as I enjoyed driving the car, because they are very fun to drive, I loved just looking at it shines in my garage as well.

In an attempt to get to the bottom of this I put the question to some friends who are also in the car, even more than me. Each of them said they could not put it into words, but considered that it was in their blood. They grew between machines because of their dad and have just always loved. The same was true for me, my father was in the car and went to car shows together. But that still does not answer the question. We all have a sister and her sisters were all exposed to the same things that were in our father being around cars. They could care less cars, provided they have one to drive the kids and get to work they are fine.

So what is it? What causes men to go spend thousands and thousands of dollars on weekend cruisers? I see cars for sale on eBay, where it is evident that someone had put $ 30,000 worth of parts and goodies in their cars.

I do not think that the reason for your interest in cars is hereditary. There is something about "Need for Speed" or the power of some of these cars. This gives me a ride when I drive, but I could get those things to a lot of cars out of showrooms today. There is also a sense of freedom when you are on a cruise on a beautiful autumn day lively. Once again, I could get that from every car that was driving.

The conclusion I came to is that there's really no way to describe it. There are some things that you can never find the words to explain how your love for a child. You obviously love your children, but now there is so much to explain. I'd love to hear from someone who could put into words why they like cars as much as they do, I think it would be interesting conversation ....
