I have found an increasing trend where alot of people just dont seem to be too dedicated to their cars in the way they look or run. They look at it as just something to get them from point A to point B. I for one am super dedicated to it and take care of it in every way imaginable.

I am. I've got a facebook page. It's really one of a a kind and the biggest amount of rally photos and videos on the internet! I've spent countless hours looking for them. Surprisingly there are a lot of females in it, and 3 or 4 are ex-rally program mechanics.

I'm dedicated to my car, I find I just suffer from the same issue many others do. After paying bills and buying food, there really isn't much left over to fix larger issues. Such as the huge dent in my driver's rear quarter panel from a hit and run in a mall parking lot. I'd go through insurance, but I don't want my premiums going up, so I'll just have to pay out of my own pocket. Pisses me off every time I look at it.

Im very dedicated, especially in the appearance department. If there's a scratch or blemish or anything on the car anywhere...I'm out there in the garage sanding it down and spraying it until its perfect. Same with technical problems. I dont wait on them. If something doesnt feel or work right, I look into it immediately instead of waiting for it to get worst.

This.



But, I heard if Obama gets elected again he will enact his "Get you some rims nigga" policy, that will take millions in tax dollars from the rich and pass it out to the lower class specifically for the purpose of vehicular modification. If this goes through, I'll be flosin! (Whatever that means).
