7 Moments Only Friends Of Car Guys Can Relate To

1. When your mate describes a car using its chassis code

You smile and nod as he talks away, but inside you’re trying to remember if that’s a Mercedes or a BMW… or is it a Toyota?

2. You have to listen to epic speeches about battered old hatchbacks

You don’t care if it’s in some Japanese cartoon, if you have to hear about why that Toyota Corolla is awesome one more time, someone is getting a slap.

3. You're constantly asked to settle the debate between Forza and Gran Turismo

Which is the best racing game ever? How the hell should you know? You only play Skyrim.

4. You can never get lifts, because weight reduction

You’re both going the same way, so it’d make sense to share a car. But no, your mate has to drive alone, because racing drivers don’t take their mates out during a race, do they?

What is he even taking pictures of now? That’s like the sixth GT-R we’ve seen this week. How is it still exciting?

Oh the NSX has a V6 but they’ve dubbed a V8 into the film? Pulp Fiction’s obviously rubbish, then!

7. They just never stop fighting!

Last week it was muscle vs. import, this week it’s which generation of M3 is the best. Next week they’ll probably be talking about JDM, whatever that means. So much confrontation, and nothing ever gets settled!
