Today's community question: What should you never say to a car guy?
To people like us, cars are a way of life. We spend too much money on them, take great pleasure in taking impromptu drives, and we love spending time with like minded individuals. This is something non-petrolheads struggle to comprehend, often leading to major disagreements.

So we want to know: what are the worst things to say to a car guy? Personally, I hate the classic ‘cars are just tools to get you from A to B’.

“Can’t you just take the bus?”
If you ask me, public transport isn’t ever going to work fully. There are way to many cities with too small of a budget to afford it. In fact, where I live, the public transport consists of seven old Ford Crown Vics with a box on top. They didn’t even bother painting them all the same color! :P
