10 Things You Should Know Before Dating A Gear Head
Ulises Olvera

Are you crushing on a car guy? Do you date a passionate gear head? Can you hear a revving engine in the background right now? Like me, you might be slightly annoyed but you love him anyway. Here are 10 things you already know or need to know about your car guy from a girlfriend's perspective.

1. He will spend more time washing his car than you will in front of the mirror in the morning.

Why? No idea. He washed his car yesterday.

2. You'll constantly hear him talk about random car stuff that you have absolutely no interest in.

You'll constantly think, "How much longer can you talk about spark plugs? Please don't start on tires, I can't take it."

3. He'll park far away from any other car in the parking lot, just so he can protect his "baby".

If he calls his car "baby" one more time, you might throw up.

4. Did you know cars had names?

Not Mazda, Ford or Subaru but... Miley, Scoob and Misty.

5. "Woman Crush Wednesdays" become "Car Crush Wednesdays".

Seriously, yes, it does get old.

6. Saturday night car photo shoots are a thing.

Once in a while he might allow his other "baby" to be in the picture too. *eye roll*

7. Every time the delivery guy comes to the house, they get giddy.

Which car part came this week?

8. They are always watching, sharing, and liking car videos.

No need to stalk his page, your only competition is that all black, bugeye, Evo.

9. He will talk cars with anyone.

He can't help it, it's like word vomit.

10. Buying a car is the most drawn out affair you will ever witness.

It's so annoying. Just pick a shiny one and leave.


If all this stuff wasn't so darn cute, you'd be single.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
