Default One thing thats frustrating about being into cars.

They never seem to run just right. My last car seemed to always have issues ( 1999 Civic Si), i seem to constantly be replacing things on my current car, and it seems to be the same with pretty much everyone i know thats into cars. I'm not really sure if its the fact that these cars actually have problems, or we just pay more attention to problems then normal car owners do. What do you guys think?

I think we just pay more attention to the problems and ask more of our cars.

being a car person you obviously pay more attention to it...and well non car ppl they could care less about whats going on...

also this is what i have noticed....when a car stays stock ...you don't have too many problems but as soon as you begin to modify it you start to run into all kinds of problems.....

I could never really fund the whole car enthusiast (sp) thing. plus i got in a little late as far as knowledge base goes.

its kind of a bad situation becuase the harder you try to be into the whole thing, the harder it is (ie. the more you do to your car the more shit fucks up, the more you learn how to do, the harder things get to do, etc.)

Ill always like cars, and if i get a nice job im sure ill get back into it more. but i cant really casually participate the way i used to.

so .... yes, i think its both.

It also doesn't help that we all beat the shit out of our cars on a regular basis
