25 Things You Should Know Before You Decide To Date A 'Car Guy'

He will need time to work on his car, he'll spend money on his car, and you will probably be taking his car when you go out.

Being in a relationship with a car guy is a little different. It means that he will need time to work on his car, he'll spend money on his car, and you will probably be taking his car when you go out. For some, that's time wasted. But for me and many others, we love it. There are a lot of things that factor into a relationship with a car guy, from constant car shows to being careful around any part of his car. Here are 25 things you should know about dating a car guy.

1. Seriously, car shows. And meet ups.

I mean it. If it's not a car show, then it's a meet up. Every weekend, random week nights, and even out of state.

2. You'll never go to a mechanic again

Not only will he fix whatever is broken for (probably) cheap, but he'll keep checking just in case.

3. You'll always hear when he arrives and when he leaves

Because there's a good chance that exhaust will be loud.

4. He'll be passionate — very passionate — about his car

Very... very... passionate.

5. You won't be eating or drinking in the car

Accidents happen, but he won't risk it in his car.

6. You'll never drive again

He'll always want to drive.

7. Don't. Slam. The. Door.

You'll hurt it!

8. Get ready for car shows and YouTube videos

YouTube is full of endless car videos, along with the discovery channel

9. He'll have more photos of cars than you

But per every 20 car photos, there may be one of you!

10. He'll probably want you to learn stick

Because who drives an automatic?

11. Cleaning the car is a process

Wash, rinse, repeat... over and over...

12. Get ready to park in the back of the parking lot

Get ready for that daily exercise, because he will take no risks around other cars and instead will park in an empty spot all the way in the back with at least four empty spots each way.

13. A lot of money will be spent on anything car related

Say goodbye to saving any money!

14. It'll be slightly easier to shop for him

The gift is simple: something car related.

15. He'll constantly talk about cars, even around your non-car friends

He'll never stop talking about cars, even once he's lost everyone's attention.

At least he's passionate!

16. You'll help him with his project cars

Even if it's just passing him a tool.

17. Some project cars will never get done

Some are just a lost cause and a loss of money.

18. His car will have a name

And you will respect it.

19. He will name every nice car on the street...

20. ... and you'll need to learn, too

21. Holding hands while driving? Nope.

You can't hold hands and drive a stick at the same time.

22. He thinks everyone on the street wants to race

It doesn't matter who it is.

23. You may be caught up in an actual street race

24. His car will be "his baby" and he loves her dearly

25. But he loves you more... really!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
