Ending lolol.
Ong I haven't met a female that's interested in cars. And the one time I got into a conversation with one that seemed interested, I couldn't take her for a ride in it.
Good think chicks arent into cars. They are into horsemeat

Largely, women that are into cars are going to be nearly impossible to impress, OR just want their shit worked on for free. Cars are a dope hobby and even more so a fun one to share with others, but I don't know that it's ever going to be the root of picking up a woman.

My wife was casually into cars, but I don't know I'd say into cars. These days with how talented she is, she's not gonna be impressed with somebody with a clapped out mk4 (though I'm glad @sterkrazzy isn't coming to CSB meet, she's a big Audi fan 😂 )

Idk, it's a broad stroke to paint the whole population with, but I'd say it's exceedingly rare. I've seen a number of people who try to use others' hobbies for personal gain and have no interest in making a personal connection, and that's a shame. But it's a good thing to keep an eye out for.

That's a keeper right there. Mine advocated for them as well, but it's a symptom of a larger factor: She's super supportive. Even if she wasn't into cars, she'd still be backing me up on my shenanigans.

Chili's CSB meet is gonna be lit

My wife called me a nerd when some rando in a GTI and I started talking about tires in a Target parking lot...

started watching the sopranos for the first time a few days ago.

im 4 episodes in and this shit kick ass already.

i think half of the humor itself comes from the jersey italian accents.
Sopranos kicks ass.

Confirmed Riceburner has a fat pussy having seen it many times

Car women are up there was the some of the most annoying people on earth.

I met my wife at a racetrack despite her not being into cars at all. I often crack jokes when we're arguing which is rare along the lines of "sheesh good thing I have a racecar otherwise you'd be out of here so fast....is there anything racecars can't do?"

50/50 on how often it works to lighten the mood and break the argument

Take your time watching it. I have found that shows like that lose something when you binge watch them. You don't get nearly as invested in the characters when you see their entire story arc in 2 weeks vs the 6 years it originally took.
