Hey there. I'm also very interested in cars and movies. What are some of your favorite cars?
I take it that's why you're called Gear Girl?

Welcome! I am a car guy, too. I have recently taken s liking to 70s and 80s funny (flopper) cars.
Funny cars? You mean cars painted to look like actual production cars, but are in fact dragsters? I hate straight lines and drag races. I prefer road courses and ovals,
those prove the actual skill of driver, rather than the amount of money some [expletive deleted] overpaid brainless [expletive deleted] hick has to throw down a quarter [expletive deleted] mile!! !AspergersActor8693 wrote:
Welcome to Wrong Planet. I can safely say that cars are my biggest Aspie obsession. I have a 1986 AMC Eagle Limited Wagon, so even though she isn't the fastest car around, she gets attention for being something not really seen that much.
What kind of cars do you like?
AMC, eh? I don't see a lot of those around anymore. As for cars being an Aspie obsession, yeah, guess what happened to me among both car enthusiast circles and the general high school social pecking order? I'll give you a hint: The car guys would pick on me for my unusual (for them) choice of cars, and everyone else would pick on me for being a car guy period, on top of being an Aspie.

MY LIST OF FAVORITE CARS, IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER.Chevrolet Corvette, especially the C2 and every generation since (and including) C5.
Nissan Skyline GTR R34. The R35 can suck [the rest of this sentence has been deleted in accordance with the Parents' Television Council guidelines.]
BMW E39 M5. This is the car I learned stick on.
BMW E92 M3. This is the car that first got me into cars beyond a "oh, that's cool" casual attitude.
Mazda Miata. My dream car, I want to do an LS swap into one. Oh yeah.
Nissan 240SX. Throw one sideways around a corner, and you will have experienced the pinnacle of human enjoyment and fun.
Dodge Charger Daytona. They certainly knew how to make a car look and perform AMAZING back in 1969.
Ferrari 360 CS. One of two Ferraris I've driven, the only one of the two with a stick, and I thoroughly enjoyed every second of Prancing Horse.
Lucra LC470. It weighs nothing and has a 6.2 liter V8 making up to 600 horsepower,
what else do you want?
