> As far as “hanging out in parking lots” I suppose you just progress to “hanging out in parking lots at car cruises”. Ever notice that most of the folks at cruises are older? (even older than me) 🙂 I’m sure there are some people there who just go out and buy a car because it is “the price of admission” and they just like to hang out with other people their own age and BS about most anything. But most people go because they JUST LIKE CARS, they like looking at cars, they like sitting and bench racing, etc. It’s in their blood and will always be…and there’s nothing really wrong with it. At least they are doing what makes them happy.

I’m not old or married, i’m 25… I like going to car cruises to look at cars and the detailed work that goes into some of the cars. However, I’ll take my car park it… walk around for an hour or so then leave.

Its strange, I like looking at the cars (except the people that take stock junk) but I just laugh at the people that just sit by their cars and wait for people by their car to ask them a question. Parking lot meets are even worse, usually people are stroking themselves off; talking about what they’ve done or going to do to make their car faster than whoever. I built my car for myself… even the build thread on here, I just did it pretty much for myself to document the process. It seems most ‘car people’ are more into what other people think of their cars rather than doing it for themselves.
