This is how bad i got it

I was looking at a show car for 2 hours just to hear it run. (today)

and durning the winston (this year 02) when they said Genten man start your enjons. well me and my friend went and started our trucks and gave em hell.
 
Show cars are cool. I keep telling the wife I want to paint the camaro like Dave's Realtree car and she gives me funny looks. She won't even let me do flames:(

A guy in my hometown had his car painted to look like an early Wood Brothers Ford. Probably had a six in it but who cares, it looked cool.:)
 
I can compete here in the "how bad you got it" catagory. I met Steve thru occasional debates on a racing forum, he lived in SC I lived in MI. A mutual friend "formally" introduced us on ICQ in a private chat session. We talked racing all the time and eventually met each other at MIS (Bobby Labonte won), After that we met about once a month or so in Kentucky (a halfway point from our homebases) and watched televised races together. We got engaged and I moved my family to South Carolina in January 2000. We got married in the infield at Charlotte Motor Speedway just before the Busch race started on 10/7/2000. We wore t-shirts bearing our favorite drivers (Dale Sr,/Dale Jarrett) and toasted each other with Dale Sr/Dale Jarrett coffee mugs. We only knew a handful of the prople that signed our wedding guestbook, the others were big race fans just like us! For our honeymoon we camped at Mooreshead Campground outside the track and attended the Cup race the next day.

The racedays here at our house are very interesting, we all like different drivers (Dale Sr., Dale Jarrett, Dale Jr and Jeff Gordon) and weekends are scheduled around our favorite races. It is great and I never would have dreamed how much my lifetime love of racing has changed my life!

Now your are starting to sound like me. I did the same thing last week at a Lowe's that had Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson's cars.

And for once I didn't were a Jeff Gordon t-shirt or jacket. Thats my Dad standing next to me with the Dale Junior shirt.
 
Well they had B. Labonte and T. Stewart's cars here week before last. And wouldn't even let me drive either one. LOL:bawling:

I had the same problem when I politely, very politely in fact, asked to be allowed to drive J. Gordon's car. And then they refused to let me sit in the car and make vroom noises to at least pretend I was driving it. So I have the maturity level of a six year old, who cares? :p

Obviously the other people in line didn't have it very bad because they didn't even inquire about driving it or starting it up. They just wanted to look at the pretty colors. :rolleyes:

I felt like such a Nascar freak. Running around and touching the car all excited. I was told I needed a life.
 
oh my gosh Kel, an internet love affair. How cool. I've heard of and personally know folks who have them. Even the get married kind.

Of course, I've heard and know folks that got involved in the bummer kind too. One old dude I net-knew....like close to 80 I think....fell for some girl in England, got a plane ticket and haven't heard from him since.

Net-knew a lady in Rio who was all ready to leave her marrage of like 20 years for some dude here in the states till she found out his whole deal was a fake. Boy did that one get juicy.

Anyways, thanks for sharing that with us. Really cool. Just really cool.
 
I saved a pair of underwear because the nicotine stain in it looked just like Dale Earnhardt wrecking T Labonte at Bristol. Other people say it looks like 2 iguanas bungy jumping from a parking garage. Either way, them's keepers.
