Just an observation
When I was young lets say a freshman in HS, their was someone in our school who was a senior who had a beautifull Z28. At the time he was dating one of the best looking girls in our grade at the time. When I was young and easily influenced, I came under the impression that the guys with the hottest cars got the best girls!
From that day I believed that the F-body to me would help me score with so many girls!
In reality It did nothing! It only prevented me from meeting girls and keeping them interested since I was alittle obsessed with my own cars.
When I met my first GF, my Trans Am wasnt even running yet. We dated for an entire year, and strangly enough the peak of our relationship was when the Trans Am's 305 took a **** on me and was parked at the top of my garage for 5 months! When I finally got it running at the end of the summer going into October, my relationship with my GF was at an all time low eventually ending in november of 2003.
I went for an entire year to 2004 without being with any girls at all, it was just me and my Trans Am (350) I finally sold it in October when I recieved my 1995 Camaro, I had a boost of confidence thinking it would help me out tons with the girls, when actually it did no better then with the Trans Am.
Now fast forward to August of this year, I had met this girl at a party and we talked for a bit, and eventually met eachother again. We started chatting online alot, as well as talking on the phone. We arranged to hang out when she was back in town. Now at the time my Camaro was at TTP waiting for work. She came to town and we hung out every day she was here! It was one of the most amazing weekend in my life, and I didnt even have my car! She came back the next weekend and thats when I told her how I felt about her, and I thought I had met the most amazing girl in my life. I finally got my car back from TTP and the transmission took a crap on me so It was grounded. She was home for the entire week and we hung out every time we could, and I eventually asked her to be my Girlfriend, and she gladly accepted. I was so happy!
Just recently reflecting over the past amazing weekends I relized, I didnt use my car one bit to meet her. It came up in convo's rarely but it was pushed into the back of my head as "unimportant" And I relized I dont need my car to meet amazing people! I was just being me, and the girl Loved that.
The moral of the story is this : Your car does not make you!
I just needed to vent alittle, because this week I dont get to see my girlfriend, and I probably wont be able to see her for another 2 months, and my car is gone so I have plenty of time to think....
