I do.
To the point where I have started doing worse in school. My relationship with my girlfriend has even suffered because all I do is work on my damn car...

But i still love it.

I never used to talk to my car and call her "baby" and congradulate her when she shifts well. I do now

So what does the term autosexual mean anyways?

I'd never chose a car over a girl. Girls have things a car can never give.

Yeah, well WHY do you think they have Intake EXTENSIONS avaiable? Did you just think it was ONLY used to suck in cold air from the outside??? Well guess what?! Air isn't the only tink it can suck on.

And those Muffler with different size exhaust tips, and it vibrates when you give gas.....Imagin the possiblilites....

Ok, Now back to the topic.....yes I would spend less money on Meals to save money for Performance Parts. I think I am totally obessed over my car. Which I shouldn't be....because its only a car..=P Its like a disease man!

Im obsessed with my car very much and ive been at college without it this entire year and its killing me(freshman cant have cars at my skool). I feel incomplete without it. All i do is dream about my car and think about how much i miss it. When im home all i do is spend time with her. All i know is that in less than 4 weeks i will be reunited with my maxima and nothing can part us ever again. I cannot wait for this 4 weeks to end.....Then once again i can spend every paycheck i get on stuff for my car like last summer and the summer before that.....

I actually get annoyed because I can't go a single day without doing something to my Max.
The amount of time I spend on it is insane, and it realy bothers my girlfriend, even bothers me sometimes.
There's just so much to do and not enough free time to do it!

Forget about $$, all of it goes into the Max and the girl.

It's past obsession / infatuation: I was eyeing the new Altima at first, but was also still checking out a couple other cars on the side, playing the field. Then I saw the Maxima and wanted her bad. So I gave up the other cars, got to know the whole crazy Maxima.org family, and that sealed the deal. I promise I'll take good care of her too!!

Yeah, I try to not spend as much on food so that way I can pay for mods. I just look at it as a double benefit. Eating less = diet = weight reduction=faster times Or is that a quadruple benefit?

Lemme see......

a) Parents: Think I am a for all the $$ I spend on detailing stuff.
b) Gf: Used to get jealous but it got calmed when I told her that I would be doing some of the same to her car
c) Some Friends: Either understand or leave me alone
d) Others: The damn car's fast enough and you want to make it faster?!?

my maxima is my baby, i feed and play with her every day, sometimes she doesn't feel so good so i have to play doctor with her, but it's all worth it when you see how happy she gets when i buy her presents, i remember when i got my first mod, it was a RSB, she was so happy, aaaah, she is sleeping now, i dont want to wake her up, she looks so cute when she's sleeping, our 7 month aniversary is comming up, i'm giving her new struts for a present, i wonder what she got me???
