To me a car enthusiast is one who loves cars regardless of make or year and who can appreciate a well maintained car. I hate people who say "ew that car is so old" even though it may drive way better than their 2015 BMW or whatever they have. People who place too much emphasis on having the newest really irk me. I recently picked up a 2000 altim SE as my daily driver to keep miles off the Nismo and my friends are giving me so much crap saying "dude it's so old I won't wanna be seen in that". Except I know what I'm looking for with a used car and only bought it because it's mint and can guarantee it runs better than their newer cars. Those people are examples of what a car enthusiast is NOT.
