Invented a Trick Question for CarGuys

For when I’m taking heat for being into cars, “you? Really? But you’re so… blonde.”

The question is, “blabla, like on the
new 2016 Audi R8?”

Why?

Because that model year doesn’t exist. It jumped from 2015 to 2017.

LOL, yup.

Take it if you like it.

Blog tag = 2017 Audi R8

 

 

A Real CarGuy’s Garage

Colourful, overflowing, and owner knows the exact location of all items within.

Defined “What is a CarGuy” in a column years ago, never understood why they get kind’ve a bad rap. Read it on Autonet.

 

 

It’s Cool to be a CarGuy

Never understood why CarGuys take so much heat for being so into cars… they’re organized and have good time management, they’re finishers with multi-faceted minds.

And even though I’m female, the term is still CarGUY.

Favourite line:

Maybe the brightest trait, is that this is all done with an infectious enthusiasm.

How to Speak Car Lingo

Carguys speak their own language. Brush up with this guide.

Read it online here.

Favourite lines:

It’s never a “whip” (a ’90s hip hop music term that has long passed its expiration date).

And:

Take the term I use when describing my ‘99 Jetta, “hi, I drive a lunch box.”

See my lunch box here.

The tuner crowd’s language is even more refined.

To wit:

I drive a Honda
MB4 D16Y8 SOHC GT28RS Enkei RPF1 15×7.5 with a +35 offset

That’s in order: chassis code >engine > single overhead cam >turbo specs > brand of wheel > that’s 15-inch diameter by 7.5 inches wide > and the hub sits at 35.

That is this car.

(Thanks to my brother for help with the tuner language. That’s his line, and car)

And this week was my best ever cover mention.

Because look: they included my name, making this the most it’s ever been printed, nice.
