Does something have to be important to be fun? Hell no. Some of us have hobbies.

Cars are a ludicrous 'hobby'

How is it more ludicrous than typing on an internet forum at all hours of the day?

because it's not even a hobby. Painting, writing, collecting: these are hobbies. Paying attention to which new sports car gets the best gas mileage is not a hobby. It is a waste of time.

If I had to have it as an original I'll take the Shelby Cobra 427, it set standards for car performance.
Chicks would dig it and its a convertable.

There's more to it than that. People buy run down cars and fix them up as a hobby, or some are talented enough to build a car from scrap parts at a junkyard.

Working on your car or adding new things into/onto it in your spare time is considered a hobby...

Then how is it a "ludicrous hobby," if it's not a hobby at all? I don't disagree with you, I'm not big into people going crazy over cars, but I don't see the difference in obsessing over cars and telling a person that their obsession is ludicrous on an online movie forum.

For me it's fun, it's like a bigger version of a model car, but with moving parts! Not to mention driving them is pure bliss.

Note how I didn't mention working on cars as a hobby. Because it is. Comparing the gas mileage or arguing over 'which car is more BA' is not a hobby. Unless it's your job to do stuff like that, it's really a waste of time

It's a ludicrous hobby because it's not a hobby.

But you said cars are a ludicrous hobby, and you also said they are unimportant. You were never specific.

Thats true, but like you said, collecting is a hobby, and rich people do collect cars, and of as stupid it sounds, some of them collect cars on how "BA" they are.

well then I apologize. Unless it's your job to compare cars or you're about to buy a car, it's a waste of timequote: (post ) Originally posted by wuTa

Car's are fascinating pieces of engineering. It's not always about being eccentric.
