And working on bikes gives me the same giddy feeling.

This stuff is all equally addicting.

Same confession as all of you. I had a huge thing for cars. Heck..i still do.
I've had 14 cars from age 16-20. Mostly into the Honda world (Had 5 civics, a few b16 swaps, a b16 turbo, exc), but i also dabbled into the other areas with mustangs, and finished with a Subaru WRX. I worked my butt off and put every dollar i made into my car. I got into bikes again and have now found myself 6 months into being carless, fully commuting on my bicycle. It is saving me a good amount of money and I feel terrific!
Other confessions:
Sometimes i blow stop signs
Sometimes i ride without a helmet
I have a slight thing for hipster girls (but they'd have to be cute as a non-hipster girl. I think i just have a thing for fun fashion)
Sometimes i'm too serious
