Bump, after reading each of your posts, I always think the same thing: I'd love to drink a beer with this guy.

Hell yeah Rusty!!

I thought so...

It’s interesting what a deep relationship can develop between a person and their automobile.

It took like 5 years for my car to reveal her identity to me...

I TOTALLY agree. I feel like its easy for people to dismiss that connection. We hurl ourselves down concrete patches going spinal snapping speeds, trying to find the right tune to listen too. If that isnt a connection and trust between human and machine, i dont know what is lol. Which  is maybe the reason why when people want to drive her i feel like its some kind of weird, bang my wife, scenario

[Mister Obvious]

Yeah, nobody drives my car.

We don’t even allow passengers unless it’s a pretty special circumstance.

Here’s the vid I made about the topic:

Haha, totally understand.  I like how you say WE! That cracks me up, i say the same thing!

Holy. Fucking. Shit. That is beyond weird that you posted this. BEYOND WEIRD! first in foremost,  bitchin nails, Bertha is RAD. love subies. When you say about the connection with her. Knowing when to park her. That is precisely what happened. Someone drove down the side of her which crushed me. Then, internally,she was failing.  Heartbroken, and concerned,  she has been parked for 2 months. I walk by her daily and tell her hello. Tell her, "one day soon we will go somewhere ". That video had me a bit shook. I literally have been dealing with so much of that.  I rejoice to see her now, about to be at her best version of herself. Ive just never quite heard anyone nail down exactly how much of an impact it has. Mind. Blown

Yes, it’s a special connection...

This is why I believe it’s DNA deep.

It’s so engrained in us to drive...

I think we’ve had all this before in humanity/earth’s past and it was all destroyed, but now we’re here again.

Interesting. Seriously. Not to long ago i was doing some testing on my bobber i built a few years back, i was cruising and "Janis" told me to immediately pull the fuck over. now. It was not a good place to pull over at all. As soon as i did, the oil plug gives out, and every drop of oil purged. Going down the highway, that would have been a lethal scenario.  Very interesting concept that strikes way close to home.

I assembled her from literally a box of bolts and parts. Most hand made. I know her on an intimate level. She has made me bleed, smash my phone, feel ultimate joy. I remeber i got frustrated and was going to sell her. I backed out of the deal literally as the money was being counted. I felt ashamed and apologized for being such a pussy and not fighting for her. Lmao. I will forever think about that reply. Such an interesting concept for real

[Mister Obvious]

I think it’s really important to have those kind of skills man...

You’re a damn good dude.
