    How many of your friends are car guys?

    I dont have any friends who are car guys .

    All my friends are either into the ricer culture, or know nothing about cars,
    or both.

    For example, the other day while walking down the street my friends mistook a Yellow lotus elise, (first one ive seen btw, woot!) for a mr2 spider! WTF!
    i promtly smaked him in the head.

    also i was tring to explain what a carbueretor (spell?) was (to another of my friends)and he look at me like i was crazy.

    Are your friends like this too? Ucp.com has become my sanctuary!

    I only one of my friends is a car guy, he's currently restoring a 1974 2000 alfa gtv, but all the others know nothing, or think they know something by ricing out thier cars.

    Tell me about it, I wouldn't call myself a car expert or anything close to it, but I feel I know a good amount of automobilia for someone my age. My friends on the other hand are similar to what you explained, except for 1 or 2 not so close friends.

    i have 2 good friends that are crazy about cars, and about 5 others that are quite interested in them.
    one of them is a student and therefore doesnt have enough money to much around with cars and stuff just yet, but the other one is in his 40's and owns a bullet roadster (mazda MX5 with a lexus V8 in) as well as a smart roadster which he chipped.

    Things have changed over the years for me, back in high school all my friends were car guys. I went to a technical high school, JM Wright Technical Vocational High in Stamford CT. In College, only my fiends in Engeneering (I'm a Business Major) and now, just the friends I've made here (you know who you are), the rest of my friends back in Miami and here in Mexico don't know the difference between a spark plug and a lugnut.

I consider myself lucky

    It really depends on how many of you I consider "friends"

    But as far as people I hang out with in "real life" go, a couple of them are car guys...
