5 Ways to NOT be an Annoying Car Enthusiast!

Ain't even gonna lie. Some y'all Car Enthusiasts need this video. A conversation is a two way interaction, do not just continue on and on and on about whatever without reading the facial expressions of the people you’re interacting with. If they start to look around as if wanting to walk away, then give them a reason to stay by asking them about their day. It doesn’t even have to be about cars, just listen to them. By the time they start to shuffle their feet and point their toes away from you, you’ve already lost.
Constantly spitting out specs, data, and statistics. Even Car Enthusiasts get bored of that. If we wanted to hear that, then we’d read an article online about it. In person, it’s more fun to talk about what cars mean to you than the literal numbers on paper. “YEAH BRO, LOOK AT HOW COOL I AM FOR KNOWING ALL THIS STUFF”
Talking only about Cars is annoying, not just for listeners, but honestly even for yourself at times. You’ll get burned out only being a car guy, I made a whole video on this topic of reasons why people quit liking cars and funnily enough the lack of another hobby is a big reason Car Guys quit.
CARS ARE ALL I HAVE, I’D BE DEPRESSED WITHOUT IT, I’M A SAD BOI (or girl).
LOOK AT ME AESTHETICALLY LOOKING IN THE SUNSET AT THE TOP OF A PARKING GARAGE. CARS GIVE ME FREEDOM, THEY ALLOW ME TO NOT HAVE TO TALK TO MY PARENTS OR HANGOUT WITH OTHER KIDS AT SCHOOL, EVEN THOUGH I ALSO HANGOUT WITH NO ONE AT CAR MEETS OR CLUBS EITHER. NO ONE UNDERSTANDS ME BRO, I’M A SAD BOI. This isn’t me making fun of depressed people, most of these people aren’t even actually depressed, they just pretend to be for “Aesthetic”.
No one owes you anything, especially after only meeting you once. Friendships take time to form, and no one is forced to give you any respect just by you being there. If someone doesn’t want to give you their number the first time, that’s just how life is. If you do like the way you interacted with someone and do want to see them again, then you can just ask what meets they go to or if they’re part of a club. Joining a Car Club or going to a Public Sanctioned Car Event is a guaranteed way to see them again.

Walking computer.... Yeah, that's why whenever I spot a nice car but I'm with non car guys, all I ask is "what do you think about this car? Just appearance wise" I really am guilty of these things mentioned. Minus the hobby, got tons of other interests

[@BladedAngel]

I usually say nothing lol. Usually cause if we're on the sidewalk outside, we're mid conversation about something else. The only time I care is if they ask me, "Hey you know cars? What was the Blue one with stripes that just passed?" I'll just tell them the model and if they don't ask anything else, I just return to the topic at hand. Sometimes they lead up with "Is it fast" or "Is it expensive" but mostly it just ends with "oh nice". It's just an obversation they made and out of curiosity, wanted an answer, so I gave a short answer to sate their curiosity without going all **inhale** THAT'S A SHELBY MUSTANG GT350 IT GETS A 3.9S 0-60 AND HAS A FLAT PLANE V8 THAT MAKES FERRARI NOISES MIXED WITH MUSCLE CAR SOUNDS and you get the point 🤣

Pro Tip: Don't call any car "slow" when it does 0 to 60 in more than 4 seconds Don't rate a car based on that figure. Just don't. EDIT: After watching the video, I need to add that Bladed is really great at giving some serious life advice. Although being based on the topic of cars, many of his/your videos are giving some universal tips on how to be a better/more likeable person. It could be helpful for many people, not just us, to realize how certain actions/behaviours are seen by other people. Thank you.

All of these things apply to any interest or hobby really. With a lot of people, it seems like there's really nothing to them outside of the one thing they're into.

point #2 is so fucking accurate. i lost interest at cars at a young age because cars used to be the only thing i thought about, and eventually i got burned out and completely lost interest in cars. i'd say it was one of the best things to happen to me because it opened the door to me to explore other things i might like. nowadays, i just casually look through car stuff from time to time even though owning a car makes 0 financial sense for me. the whole "you aren't a real car guy" shit is so cultish. back then i used to actually be like that, i was guilty of it and i was extremely stupid for it.

The whole get another hobby thing is crazy because I’ve seen it happen too many times. So basically I was talking to a another car guy once he was driving a C6 Z06. And me being new to the Corvette platform because I’ve been on the waitlist for a C8 for over a year and I’m finally getting close to the delivery date. I walk up to him and I’m like yo that’s a sick C6 so he goes on about it tells me what he’s done to it than he asked me “What do you drive?” And currently i drive my Genesis Coupe had it since my senior year of high school I just graduated college. Then he looks at me smiles and says “that little thing” and I immediately knew this guys ego and personality resonates in this car. And then I tell him I’m actually on the waitlist for the C8 corvette stingray. HE THAN CUTS ME OFF HALFWAY THROUGH MY SENTENCE AND SAYS “WHAT KID YOU CAN’T AFFORD THAT!!” and then I wanted to explain the situation I saved my money through college because I used my dads GI bill and it covers every school for free for me in California I played football so my parents were a big financial help and my mom as a last present for the rest of my life said “I’ll help you and give you 5k towards your next car when you graduate college” so I saved got the 5k and now I’m getting the car soon but anyway. This guy then proceeds to say “come back here when your car arrives so I can gap you in your wannabe Ferrari” and thanks when I left the conversation and just overall left the meet. I tell you this story to tell you this Don’t be that guy at the car meet don’t be that guy/girl that identifies through their car it’s the equivalent of peaking in High School but except your 35 years old and you have no other hobbies besides your car and surrounding your life and making it about your car. Because at the end of the day we love cars we truly do but when your dead and gone you can’t take it with you.

I love my MR2, even my non-car friends love it too, but it's not because they really know it or understand it; it's because I go camping with them, have game nights, live a socially active life. The car just happens to be there, and as they get to know me, they got to know my interests and eventually we shared those interests!

What I expect of this video: Stop talking about cars What I got: Be sociable, don't just shove what you like to others (at least this is what I take from this) Honestly, this is a really great video cause I struggle to interact with people in general. I'll try to apply some of it.

[@MarksterC]

You can talk about it just don’t be obnoxious and nonstop ranting, and if they don’t seem interested, just stop

[@guitarsandcars2586]

3:20 That sums up my name. My 2 biggest hobbies besides show, movies, guns, style and women, cars and playing guitar (Electric guitar, rock and metal.). Lol.

[@TheNutshaq]

Being the walking computer is how I’ve gotten some non-car friends kinda into cars. Now they’ll point out cool cars to me when I don’t see them and they’ll know what it is lol

[@talespereira405]

Came for the cars, stayed for the therapy😂 some ppl don’t understand that change is natural, “yourself” isn’t really a thing and evolution is natural

[@sabyasachiroy7482]

Damn, i wasn't expecting this video to be this much emotional, i thought it would be more like a car meme type video which i got but becouse of video like this I'm now able to more understanding of other people. So as a fan from india i have one thing so say "Bas kar pagley rulayaga kya"

[@dannymartial7997]

The most annoying is when car guys think automatics are a sin against humanity, or manual makes you a badass.

[@clydemarshall8095]

I’m not even a car guy and I’ve been deriving entertainment from your videos

[@icarus8649]

THIS WAS RECORDED ON I-65 SOUTH!! INDIANA REPRESENT

[@charliemaybe]

Blade is the intermediary between non car people and car people.

[@angelelizondo2992]

You give really good advice - this really does apply to everyone trying to do better at talking to people !

[@ithmiths]

Personally. I do have other hobbies. But cars are my full blown passion. I guess more of an obsession. But. That said. I agree 100% with these points! Keep it up man your teaching the toxic side of the car community. Even if its only a couple people per video. Progress is great

[@nicotine_twoshot]

how the fuck are yall saying "Very hepful vid" when its over 10 min long and it uploaded 2 min ago

[@BladedAngel]

Facts lmao

[@jackvandongen7983]

I expexted him to talks about loud exhaust n stuff but this is a lot better.

[@calvinDy]

My favorite car channel :)

[@miluardo]

Bladed Angel just literally teaching men to grow up lol --- bless.

[@xyrofyro8982]

I used to be alone all the time untill I decided to work for the ppl I wanted to be seen as, I have seen so much progress, it's really nice to see myself change and improve, and for the ppl the didn't like me at my worst u don't deserve me at my best...... tho ill accept ya back cuz imma be honest u were cool anyways ahah

[@Yiujin-Kun]

This advice is true. At the end of the day, it's your choice if you want to listen or not. I have so many personalities and interests that with little research on anything, I'll fit perfectly in. Don't think of me as a big Extrovert. I'm very much the opposite of that but even so, if it's a place or community that has people like me, it'll make me feel like I'm a part of it. Even if it's only for 6-7 hours in a place of 20 unknown people before I retreat to my safe place. I've already done 70% of stuff I've wanted to do before I die when I was 19 years old, like owning a full gamers room with a console, PC, and mobile gaming setup, driving a supercar for a week, having an actual harem, having a game world record for about 45 seconds. Now I just have to get 1 finger on the hoonicorn.

[@thrival.-prod6875]

dude istg bladed is the car community's therapist, advice king, he really does have power of both God and anime by his side.

[@jaypioh]

i own a 1994 Corvette and im obsessed with it, and have been for a long while now--but my real passion is being a musician/songwriter and photographer. I also am learning another language. being just a 'car guy' doesnt sound appealing especially considering how cars are seen as status symbols these days to even non car people. I dont want to align my entire lifestyle around that type of decadence.

[@SimonDiamondGamer]

I am mainly a hobby-ist i.e. I like many hobbys pick them up and put them down all the time I like all of them and just love and focus on one at a time and change the most important to me all the time, and I can relate to what he says SOO much I have many passions with cars being a main one in the last couple years but I am underage and dont have a liesence so I am still a car nerd mainly online and a model colector and gate-kepping is getting on my nerves. ANYONE AND EVERYONE CAN LIKE CARS YOUR OPINION ABOUT THEM IS IRELEVANT SO DON'T TRY TO PUT THEM DOWN AND BULLY THEM CAUSE "THEY'RE A FAKE FAN"

[@senorporko3299]

NGL as someone that has suffered from depression and thoughts of ending it all gaming and cars were an escape for me

[@senorporko3299]

I didn't base my life around gaming and cars as I had rc cars drones I do skiing and mountain biking and honestly I love how much of an escape all these things were for me

[@motormind2]

Came here for a car video, left with life lessons

[@gavmiller6154]

I’m an all in one package for hobbies to talk about, Anime, cars fishing, hunting, and hockey

[@lx_boydoblaster1895]

So the muscle boy likes fishing and hunting and jdm boy likes animation and art hmmmm

[@SomeOne_86]

Honestly sounds pretty on point XD

[@yungboicontigo9278]

Love that MR2 on the thumbnail. In my opinion, MR2 > Supra because atleast MR2 isn’t overrated unlike the Supra

[@sabersz]

I will freely admit that I could go on for DAYS about cars. Mostly, when I'm walking with friends, I'll just be pointing cars out on the road if we're not actually talking about anything. We still converse, so I'm not just there like "YO CARS!!!" Gf does hear it a lot, but she knows me well enough now and doesn't mind lol

[@Bready3000]

I really dig the whole hobbies point, really. Because it's just great to have something else to talk about. I'm a musician, diy electronics hobbyist, and also furry, so it really just gives me a lot of room in a conversation and a lot of diversity in friends.

[@swordfiregt7922]

THANK YOU BLADED

[@PierAlexandreHarvey]

I think it helps if you already had a hobby befote getting into cars. For example, Ive been into playing music for a long time before being a car guy and it’s helped me have balance between my interests so as to not get obsessed.

[@mroversteer3739]

How to not be an annoying car guy: Don’t repeat overused car jokes like a redditor

[@chaseventrillaquist6458]

Nice to see So. Indiana on a legit youtube channel! Yes, the car scene around southern IN/Louisville, Ky is completely bogus.(I live in new albany IN, LOL)

[@demioxdtouring]

how not to be annoying? easy close yourself from society

[@mazdamiataUSDMspec]

Best method

[@carguynewb7856]

Thanks for pointing that out when I talk about cars i can't shut my mouth i talk about cars 24-7 people can get fed up with me but your videos are good guidance

[@peaceup5519]

Yup, your driving through Louisville... I just caught a glimpse of the Oakalona/Fairdale exit to my house. How strange it is to see my daily commute on one of my Subscribed channels.

[@generolmatt4]

Ya I definitely realize that I'm always trying to improve myself. I don't want to stay how I am because I know I have many fault's. I need to try to be a nicer car enthusiast and person.

[@SkyyMi]

I have a couple people in mind who need this video. Thank you Bladed

[@rydermotorvlogs]

2:59 I can really relate to step 3 as primarily a motorcycle enthusiast i really LOVE bikes, i have a 2016 CB650f but im also a car guy, even though i dont own a car nor can i really drive a car, i still want one. I really like modifying cars and the whole mechanic side of things which is also why i do a lot of my own work on my bike. but im also a HUGE gamer and can spend hours infront of a computer screen while im also really fascinated by firearms and how they work/shoot, they are litterally controlled chaos i really think its important to branch out to other hobbies and an added bonus is that you dont really get as bored as quckly not sure if anyone is gonna read this or really care but i thought id just add my thoughts to this video coming from someone who was kind of obsessed with video games for a long time. also sorry for any misspellings, english isnt my first language

[@spraguestreet7110]

Hell yeah I used to work at a dealership so everybody was a car guy but there was this one guy who's whole personality was "I drive a hellcat" dude never talked about anything else

[@mrblimbo1359]

Luckily due to me being a car enthusiast all my life ive learned how to find other hobbies and yknow as a kid not everyone cared about cars. So i kinda had to adapt towards other hobbies. As well as my millions of other interests now. Sure me having seen thick and thin in the car community may have made me a bit jaded, especially towards sadbois but, ive felt myself growing as of late, still young and all so. Just gotta learn how to stop being anxious and talk more to fellas in meets
