    Personal excitement: do you talk too much about your car?

    Do you talk too much about your car?

    I am not a car enthusiast. I can't name all the Toyotas and Hondas sold. I just keep attract of Saabs and cars that are remotely Saab-like. Still, can Saab enthusiasm get too much that you're the only one who's interested?

    For example, I am writing a blog about getting my Saab 6 years ago to the day. To make matters even more realistic, even the day of the week in the same as 6 years ago. The blog is here 6 years ago: picking up a Saab in Trollhättan, shipping it overseas (updated daily) - Blogs - SaabWorld I wonder if I'm talking to myself when blogging?

    I talk way too much about my car(s). In fact, I talk too much about vehicles in general. The wife just loves to play "what's that?" while driving around, just to see how much information on a particular vehicle I can spout out

    But yes I do wonder if I bore people with Saab talk. Precious few people care about APC changes in various years/why the engine is "backwards"/why the handbrake is on the front wheels/etc

    I know I do, unfortunately. People have told me...

    Though I was driving my brother and his friend to their university when his friend mentioned my Saab and I remembered he used to own a C900 Turbo Sedan. We had an hour long conversation at Buffalo Wild Wings about nothing but Saab, and it was awesome.

    I use to read yours blogs, very interesting in the way of you write.

    I am not in my good moments to write after work, sometimes don't feel to write after a hard time on my duties.

    only 130 days left to be more active.........

    regards

    I don`t think I talk too much about my car, but my love with Saabs hit my girlfriend.
    Long months before I became a Saab owner again, I spotted every Saab on the street, and I brought my GFs attention to it.
    I used to tell her: Look, what a nice car, that is a Saab!
    Now we got to the point where she recognizes one, and tells me: Look, a Saab! and tends to wave to our "brother".

    I wonder what the other Saabs driver might think about us waving.

    Just talk about cars in general too much. I'm the guy in traffic that strikes up a conversation with the driver of the car next to me if it's cool.

    If I get an AutoWeek and an Automobile mag in the mail on the same day, it's like Christmas.

    If I see a cool car in traffic, I'll do my best to get a closer look at it.

    I've told my euro delivery story so many times I can probably recite it in my sleep!
