I have examined "car enthusiasts" by roughly dividing them into four types.

I don't drive, but I like cars.

I received a comment on my blog the other day that went something like this.

I am not aProbably a car enthusiast of a different genre than your husband.So, I am invited to go touring, but I can't go at all, and in fact, my GT3, which has been in the shop for 6 months, has only done about 800 km. But you know, I like cars. I really do.I'm not a "train rider" in the iron geek sense of the term.But I can't analyze myself what kind of car enthusiast this is....

And.

I see. In a word, "car buffThere are so many different types of people in the world. I told my husband about this comment, and he said

I guess you're right... I'm a car guy, but I'm not a "car guy" like me.I just love to drive.While some people say, "I like to own it itself.Some people say, "I'm a car enthusiast. It would be interesting to think about the types of car lovers.

So I decided to think a little about this point.

Car enthusiast typology

As my husband said.First, we divide them into "driving types" and "ownership types."I have decided to further divide each of these into two categories. Naturally, there are many more fine distinctions that could be made, and no one person simply fits into only one type, but for the purpose of this article, I will roughly divide them into four categories.

Now, let's start with theCharacteristics of the "Driving Type" and the "Ownership TypeAbout.

◼︎運転好きタイプの特徴
Cars are meant to be driven.
Even if the car gets a little dirty after running, it can be washed again.
I like to drive the car myself.
The most important factor in selecting a car is its driving performance.
When you buy a car you love, the mileage soon exceeds 10,000 kilometers.
Manual lover
I am interested in the structure of the car and I know a lot about it.

◼︎所有好きタイプの特徴
I like to buy a car itself.
I want to keep my car clean and in my garage.
I love looking at my car forever.
Design is important when choosing a car.
...buying a car you love doesn't increase your mileage much.
. I don't often travel long distances, hundreds of kilometers at a time by car.
As soon as I buy a car, I'm already thinking about buying another car.

I guess it's like a And among the types who like to driveTouring" and "CircuitAmong the two types of ownership lovers, theAppreciation" and "UnveilingI would like to introduce a few of them, as I have divided them into the following categories.

1) Likes to drive - Touring type

He likes to drive cars by himself, especially touring on public roads and driveways. On his days off, he goes touring and continues to discover pleasant roads to drive on a daily basis. His mileage easily exceeds 10,000 kilometers a year, and his passion for touring never cools down, no matter how many tens of thousands of kilometers he has driven.

(2) Driving enthusiast - Circuit type

He loves to experience and push the performance of his car to the max on the race track, and he never misses a practice session at the track to improve his lap time, even by 1 second or 0.1 second, while at home he polishes his driving skills by playing car racing games with a handheld controller. He spends an extraordinary amount of money on his car.

(3) Ownership - Appreciation Type

I love owning and buying cars, and I love spending time in my garage at home looking at my car. He never drives his car on rainy days, and even on sunny days, he has no desire to drive it. He owns his car as if it were a work of art in his collection.

(4) Ownership - Unveiling type

He loves to own a car and has a strong desire for others to see his beautifully designed car. He likes beautifully designed cars, and on his days off, he often goes to places where car enthusiasts gather to show off his car.

…のような感じだろうか…ってめちゃめちゃざっくりやけどもw 夫は、

For each of these categories, there is an axis (Z-axis) that says whether or not you like customization. So, I'd really like to show this in a 3-dimensional graph.

but I also thought it would be credible and interesting to take a survey on this blog and make a typology based on the data.

And the bottom line is that I... I like cars, and I'm probably one of the considerable car enthusiasts compared to the average woman, but I'm surrounded by crazy people, including my husband, so I'm like, "You know what?I can't say that I'm a car enthusiast..."(No, there's no need to be so modest.)I can't help but wonder about that these days.
