[JRS1967]

Okay, so I have a question for everyone here because I need to know if this is odd or not. There is a car that for some reason I am obsessed with (a model and body type, not a specific car itself) and I have been crazy for these cars for almost 10 years now. My fiancee thinks I am insane for liking these cars, I realize that there is no good reason for liking them, no practical reason, they are tiny, not particularly reliable, and she totally hates them. I have tried to like other cars, I've tried to love the new Camaro and I do but not to the same extent. The new Camaro (or Mustang, Challenger, etc) is better than this car in every single way (literally, EVERY WAY) but I keep coming back to this car. No matter what I do, I just keep getting drawn back to it and I honestly can't stop wanting one. I've actually considered selling my Chevelle (which I realize would be a big big big mistake) to get one just because I want one so badly.

Does anyone have this problem? I guess it would be like the uncontrollable desire to have a Delorean, or a Grand National, or a GMC Syclone, or a 1967-1968 Camaro, know what I mean?

I don't understand it, I hate that I love this car but I drove one once when I was 18 (and it was an auto too...) and almost 8 years later I still think about how much I want one. My dad actually took me out to drive one because he wanted me to see how much I would hate it and get over this car and it totally didn't happen. He was sure that I would think it was a piece of junk and the problem would be solved.

Does anyone else have a similar addiction to a specific car?

Are you so ashamed of your obsession with this particular car that you are afraid to name it?

Or are you just terrified of the ridicule you will surely endure if you reveal it to this crowd?

 

[R66SS427]

I sorta understand. I've gotten a chubby over the 64 Thunderbolt for 30 years. I'm slowly realizing I will never afford a real one so I'm content with my 66 chevelle. :yes: Really not much difference than our fantasy girls, we would love to have her, but its probably not going to happen.
So spill, what is this forbidden car you're in love with?

 

[novaderrik]

it's not a late model Mini Cooper is it?

 

[Alwhite00]

A VW Bug? :

[mr 4 speed]

[hmardown]

JR
and what color would this pinto be ?

 

[BlueSS454]

I've been jonesing for a DeLorean since I was 16. The car is a mechanical nightmare but I don't care, I still want one.

 

[GsxrDave]

horse and buggy?!l

 

[Roadcaptain S3]

Gremlin?...Pacer?

I had a similar addiction at one time, I was eventually able to get the car I wanted and was thrilled...for about a year.

The fantasy is always better than the reality.

So it's a pink VW mini bus, isn't it.

...........

Yes, a 34 Ford for about 65 years now.
But I've had those feelings about a lot of other things that I couldn't have then after I finally got them, I found out that I really didn't care all THAT much for them.

 

[depley]

only car that would make me feel that way is a 1955 Nomad wagon. I will never own one, can't afford it, but I love those cars!

 

[Beaux]

87 GNX

That will never go away for me. I dont know why but I want one over many of the finer muscle cars, if someone offered me a numbers LS6 vs a correct and mint 87 GNX I would grab the keys to the GNX.

I have no love for any cars that I am ashamed to admit though. I cant stand little cars, i'd light deloreans on fire if it were legal and I think I might be the only guy in the world that absolutely cant stand anything having to do with a corvair.

 

[quikss]

..... and I think I might be the only guy in the world that absolutely cant stand anything having to do with a corvair.

Nope. Definitely not the only one, their are at least 2 of us. :yes:
