I recognize appreciating cool machines, I really do. I've just never been able to wrap my head around being a car guy. Spending huge chunks of change on a car, consistently modifying it, watching car shows all the time. I just dont get it. What's the big draw for you?

For the most part yes. But when I didn't have much money cars were like my enemy.

I can totally understand that, it's not cheap to drive a car. I really don't consider myself a 'car guy' but I do like to go for a drive. I like to go around corners fast, I like to find an empty country road and see where it ends. I don't think working on cars is fun, most of the time. But I do most of the work on my vehicles to save money, rarely do I add anything aftermarket.
