I have examined "car enthusiasts" by roughly dividing them into four types.
Published on: 10.19.2019
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.

Trackbacks are closed.
I fit into all categories.
Isn't your husband somehow the same way? And.
I think the order is 3, 4, 1, 2, and so on, in order of depth or progress.
I think even the result 1 or 2 can be seen forever in the garage.
I imagine that all of 3.4.1 apply to those in category 2.
And then, before the second, he buys a race car and starts racing. And then, you have your own race team. Something like that?
therefore
Both Porsche and Ferrari are trying to meet the various needs of their customers, from stock to Turbo, GT series, and even RS, and beyond that, Porsche Cup cars, Ferrari Challenge, FXX, F1 Creati, etc. Porsche Cup Cars, Ferrari Challenge, Ferrari FXX, F1 Clienti, etc. I think Ferrari will even prepare programs such as FXX and F1 Cliefty.
An endless journey to see how far we can go.

You're right, Kurumania, your insights are astute! You are right.
>I think that the order of the depth is 3, 4, 1, 2, and so on.
I really thought that was true.
It is also the case that Porsche enthusiasts gradually fall in love with Porsche and find themselves competing in the Porsche Carrera Cup.
Car manufacturers are well aware of this and have models and fields available!
It really is a never-ending journey (laughs).
Nice to meet you.
I am type (3).
I have an early 997 Carrera S, but I only drive it about once a month and
Choose a sunny day to ride.
Therefore, the mileage may be 2000 km per year at most.
We do not want to extend the distance too much for resale and want to keep it in good condition.
The joy of ownership is greater.
Mr. Bardach.
Nice to meet you and thank you for your comment!
>I am type (3).
Yes, the 997 Carrera is so beautiful.
I've been seeing them in Ashiu lately, and upon closer inspection, they still have that air-cooled look to them.
The silhouette is sophisticated and really beautiful.
Our house will go the distance, so we don't expect a resale.
I was wondering if it would be like giving you a longer ride for that...
But no matter what form it takes, a car that is treated with care by its owner is a happy thing.
This blog keeps coming up with fun topics.
At any rate, I applied it to my current self.
It was soon decided that "I like to drive" would be closer.

The car has to be driven.
Even if the car gets a little dirty after running, it can be washed again.
I like to drive the car by myself.
When choosing a car, driving performance is the most important factor.

I like manuals.
I am interested in the structure of cars and I know a lot about it.
The next "Touring Type" and "Circuit Type" are more difficult, and since I don't go to the circuit, I would say that I am a touring type.
I like to drive cars by myself.
I especially like touring on public roads and driveways. ○
On weekends and holidays, I go touring, and I don't like to get up early because it seems to be crowded.
We continue to discover roads that are pleasant to drive on a daily basis. Occasionally
Mileage is easily over 10,000 km per year, or 15,000 km at most.
I've been touring for tens of thousands of kilometers, and the touring fever has never cooled down. There is no such thing as touring fever.
I think of it as "touring". Well, when I drive from Fukuoka to Kyoto, I take a detour on a country road only at the end, or if I drive from Kanazawa to Kyoto, I take a regular road from Tsuruga, so I can say that I like touring from a normal person's point of view.
On the other hand, I don't drive on circuits.
At the circuit, x
To experience driving that maximizes the performance of the car, → To experience whether the car moves according to one's intentions, → To experience the performance of the car as a whole, → To experience the performance of the car as a whole, → To experience the performance of the car as a whole
I like to push it. ○
To speed up the lap time, even by 1 second or 0.1 second → To achieve the smoothest possible movement
I never miss a workout at the track, and I never miss a workout on my commute to work.
At home, I play car racing games with a handheld controller.
I am improving my driving skills every day. →I am not getting very good at it, but I am deepening my understanding of my car.
I think he is a "driving operation pursuit type.
I would like to drive on a circuit when I retire, but for the time being, I will only watch motorsports (and recently on TV).
And while it is clear that I am not an "ownership enthusiast," I never get tired of looking at cars, including other people's, that I (like).
PorscheDreamer.
Thank you for everything!
And thank you for putting it all in perspective.
When we talk to car enthusiasts, many of them say that all four of these types apply to them in the end.
I was reminded once again that car fortune-telling is a difficult thing to do.
Thank you for your continued support!
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that you blogged from a casual comment.
Now my type is (3) after I've done a lot of (2).
From about 1989 to 2004, about 1 I ran like crazy for 5 years.
Imported cars are used as trophy getters in competitions, grass races, gymkhana, etc., among domestic cars.
He was so happy to be on the podium that he put all of his income into the car, supplies, and customization.
But before I knew it, my enthusiasm had cooled off and driving had become a chore.
now
If you buy the car and test the limit area in the first couple of rides (well, in a half closed place) to get a feel for the maneuverability and the car's habits.
I'm like, "With this car, what's the time on that track?" or "This is the kind of driving I should do if I want to make a clock.
Once you understand most of it, you will be fine not to ride it.
They are then excited by the performance of the unknown car, and start looking for their next car.
I chose (3) because I don't like showing off or touring, but I don't appreciate it either, so I don't mind if it's dirty.
So maybe there is a classification in (3) and this is one of them.
I was entertained by the very interesting analysis.
Thank you very much.

Thank you for providing us with a blog post, too (laughs).
>Well, my type is (3) after I've done (2) to a great extent.
Oh, I see, that's right!
We are where we are now because we have run and done it all...!
There are many different types of people, and the same is true of car enthusiasts.
I thought that there must be ten different types of people, or as many types as there are people.
If you have any more interesting stories to share, I'd be happy to hear them (laughs).
Thank you for your continued support.
