Default Is it just me?....

Or do you guys just start your cars in the garage for no other reason just to hear them run and smell the exhaust?

I just put on headers and I cant get enough of the sound....everytime I go out to have a cigarette I have to start my car to hear it rumble...

I needed to change my plate bulb before taking the car out for a cruise tonight. It's less than 60 here so, I figured I'd let the car (without cats) warm up while changing it. I thought I'd be safe wearing a mask, but it still almost killed me, lol. Sounds damn good from the back of my garage, though.

A few weeks ago I was talking to my elderly neighbor when I came home from work and she mentioned what a nice day it turned out to be weather wise. She originaly was expecting rain because she said she heard thunder early in the morning. Then looking at me asked: or did you start your car? Uhh, yes I did!

nice.. i had an elderly neighbor lady once like that. turns out she used to own an olds 442 and a few other muscle cars. once she went on talking for a few minutes about her engines/intakes/carburetors - oldschool stuff over my head. then she told me her ford escort zx2 "would take your mustang." wife ended up buying that zx2 from her. RIP nice old muscle car lady.

When I first got my exhaust, I used to like doing this. But no so much anymore.
