Strange Habits of Car Lovers

[Praf]

Even more, I have seen some pressing the "Lock" button in the remote more than once To ensure it's double locked???

+1. Even i follow this and my friends say "abey ab kya handle ko latak kar check karega??".
The origin of this is from our habit to double check the locks for our home

That's a strange habit of a car lover, congratulations .

Whenever i take delivery of my car after a service, sit inside and talk:
My god it feels like a new car!

Jayadev buddy,it looks like you traumatized your wifey!!Still I am not suffering from such deep syndrome.
Rest I liked the part that she tried not to move ahead but you still kept on "Hallo u there"?.My GOD,if anyone do this to me,then a fight is hell sure and if I do this to my father then a slap is 200% sure!!

i don't like loud blaring music inside the car
it has to be soft and elegant
also I don't fancy the idea of waiting for CNG line
it sucks man

Your car can get you a girlfriend,but a girlfriend can never get you a car.

At least mine is getting me one, even though i wanted it from my mom instead

Thankfully, my GF does have some knowledge abt cars

we all do this

When a car overtakes you at high speed , you say " he's going to die , driving like a maniac"

when a car is travelling slower than you , you say " this is not your garden , drive fast"

when a car is travelling parallel to you , you say " you wanna race , come on"

^^Hehe, this is 100% true.

• When we do 100 then we say people doing 150 are fools.
• When we do 150, then anyone overtaking us is going to meet Yamaraj.
• When we do 170-180 then anyone doing 100 looks like "Abe,chala le isse(hey, drive your car)".

But one thing for sure, neither I drive in parallel to anyone nor I allow anyone else drive parallel to me on highways.

Rest if the following cases happen, then my blood boils and my engine starts revving:

• Someone not allowing to overtake by trying to acquire our way or by driving acquiring two lanes.
• Someone not allowing to overtake by accelerating his/her car at the time we start overtaking.
• Someone all of a sudden blocks your way and forces you to apply hard brakes.

But yes,many times I leave the home with a decision that today no one will overtake me and till date my record is about 99.99%!!

But this ,no way sounds like a car lover but egotism and competitive mind speaking....me first ... me first.. me only first and it is fairly dangerous for car too.

second and third condition apply for me but not first.

yes im doing this everyday.
this has a lot of story with me.
once with skoda octavia,fortuner,another fiesta,even X1.
so sad in when my dad drives our fiesta and i was enjoying in the co driver seat in karnataka but one guy with his beat made me tensed.
when my dad was about to overtake he didnt give the way and he started pressing the gas and then i asked my dad to press but they wont do like that so again got the driver seat to my hands and overtook him and i stared changing lanes not let him to go.

this all works for me too. also another thing that really boils my blood is when someone really blocks me when im trying to change lanes. then i feel that guy is going down. i have to overtake that *******.

^^ All above -

What has your driving type to do with the habit of car lover ?
Most comments posted above in terms of over-taking are true even for Volvo bus driver.

 

[autosafari]

Right you are S Class and Jayadev.

It seems the stock of 'strange habits of Car lovers' is over and now alternatives are being introduced.

Feels like that bird who did this!

Urges:

1. To change the engine oil before its due.

2. To wipe the car clean after every drive ("But man, we have come here to attend a wedding and you are wearing an Armani").

3. To yell at that neighbour who always keeps his car dirty.

4. To change the alloys that were put on a day before with alloys of another design ("Why does bonus come only once a year?")

5. To hug that vintage car owner at the traffic light.

6. To set fire to the service advisor, no matter how well he has done his job.

7. To grab hold of Fiat India's CEO and ask him "Why man? WHYYYYY???!!!"

8. To do imaginary calculations in the head ("hmmm....if I sell my iPhone, my kidney, and part of my liver, maybe I can afford the downpayment for a C class....hmmmm.....or maybe a Linea...hmmmmm....)

9. "Half an hour left to reach office. Should I take a bath or should I wash the car?"

10. Eternally thinking about upsizing the tyres (no wide tyre is wide enough).
