schmuckingham Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I have no life to begin with so no, it really doesnt in my case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron_ Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I've definitely had girlfriends get pissy about my 'car forums', in relation to spending a few hours on them a day (and not giving them as much attention) I'm on another one a great deal more than this board.

Guest Hal Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 No, I don't think CR has really impacted any of my relationships. Obviously it is possible, but, I doubt it is very common. I don't think there is anything I could type truthfully on here would really change any "real life" relationships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I'm going to sue CR because of all the drama llama it has caused me in the past 7 years I've been here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMeanGreen Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Not really for me. The women I'm with know how big into cars I am and how big CR is a part of my life. They know up front and have to accept that or find someone else. My girlfriend now knows about CR and how involved I am, and she can't wait to be a part of it when the weather gets nicer. I have met a lot of friends through CR as well, so that also counts for a big part of my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Positively, sure. I have met many friends through this forum that I am good friends with in real life now (ie Thorne). Negatively, not really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stolen 5.0 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Everything about CR has been positive for me. It hasn't negatively affected any relationships I have had. You guys are all my friends so she can deal with it. Fowler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Before the accident she moaned that I was on the site too much, after it though she saw the benefit. All I hear are crickets now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotCarl Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I've never chosen an internet forum over a real person so therefore it has never effected my life in a negative way. I may be on here daily but it doesnt restrict me from doing other things. I never think "i could go out with katie tonight but... what if something happens on CR and Im not there with a witty retort?" I think there are people out there who would rather be online than out in the real world. Maybe its a coping mechanism for how they handle the real world. Rather than be in it where they have little power to change things they can be online where they have much more control? Who knows...

thorne Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Positively, sure. I have met many friends through this forum that I am good friends with in real life now (ie Thorne). Negatively, not really. I feel special For me no, I've met alot of cool people on CR that there GF's are my wifes friends. MY wife even sits down and reads the posts sometimes because she gets a kick out of it. She also gives me shit sometimes for things I say,But she knows that I'm huge into cars and she also see the number of my friends that hang out are all members.

TimTaylor751647545500 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I get a raised eye brown when I say "lawls" or "FTW" out loud every now and then, but nothing else really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 no, she's come to accept that I log onto CR at werk and after she goes to sleep (since she goes to bed so early) and browses the pics section more than I do for funny videos and stuff.

Kohones Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Really? CR should never negatively effect anyones life! Its an affinity group we all belong to because we're into cars - period Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I have created, cultivated and subsequently strained relationships online. Overall, I attribute it to the outside world making me nuts and the internet providing a readily available means to act like an ass. Perhaps that is where the conflict is; Real World vs E-world. Really? CR should never negatively effect anyones life! Its an affinity group we all belong to because we're into cars - period I hate cars, and I hate car people....especially you. Grrrrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsey Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 a/s/l? what is worse after seeing all the trannys that come across ot, i pretty much have to see a vagina, to believe they are female and even then i stil wonder if they are post-ops. also, this thread is worthless without pics.

boosted98gst Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 This site has done nothing to affect my personal life, only thing my girlfriend has asked about is, how can we talk about cars so much, she just has no idea, I told her its the same way she feels about going shopping or helping people at her work, its just having the pasion for somthing.

Orion Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I never think "i could go out with katie tonight but... what if something happens on CR and Im not there with a witty retort?" that right thurr is funny. i will say that its become more difficult for me to type up a report at work and use correct punctuation/spelling/grammar. i keep wanting to put "lollerskates" in my reports about our quality. i myself have gained quite a few friends here in this place. off the top of my head, eric, jesse, eli, mark m., marc s., thorne, smurf, howard, ben, tilley, tinman and others. cr has networked me into mechanics for repairs, mechanics for modification, accountants, real estate agents, and more, and who knows how much money/grief i have saved simply by coming here and asking, "i want to do (blank), what do you guys think/has anyone done this before and did it suck?" so, easy to say that cr has been a positive. on the negative side, this place has completely disproven the theory of natural selection.
