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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
