Default Anyone else?

Did anyone else used to love their car before getting a bike and now hate their car? I've got a 1989 Mercedes 190E that I used to spend all sorts of money on and clean all the time but since getting the CBR I just feel like selling it because of the few small problems it has. Everytime I drive it I get really pissed off and wish it was my bike or something newer.

No, I had 4 bikes bikes before I had a car. Does not mean I wouldn't like a new car though.

ME ME ME. I traded mine end of last year and got new one. I don't hate it but I am not even excited about it. It became my motorcycle pit box. I used to have my car cleaned every week. Not anymore. I clean my bike whenever I have time, usually more than once a week. New car can sit there dirty for a month or so....

I def. don't hate my truck after getting my bike but I do wish I could leave my truck parked in the garage 24/7 and just always ride the bike but mother nature has other plans. I still keep my truck immaculate.

I still keep my car clean I'm just not excited about it anymore. I used to peak out of the windows in my house when I had it all shined up and look at it because I loved it so much. Now I do that with the bike haha. I take my driving as seriously as my riding so I can't settle for a little Honda Civic or hyundai whatever. I like handling far better than straight line speed. Makes it hard to find a car I'm happy with that isn't something German and rear wheel drive.

My car hobby has dropped significantly since bikes were introduced. My car now is nice (Subaru Legacy GT), but it doesn't have any money into it aside from a short shifter and maintenance, whereas my previous car had a lot more. I do have my old car's subwoofer setup still, though, which I will hopefully stop being lazy and put in this summer.

I've got an '01 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS with a whole mess of mods (suspension bits, NO SWAP for the ********* who keep asking :P) sitting in my driveway. The battery's dead and the rotors are rusted up good 'cause it's just been sitting.

I used to be obsessed with autocross and I hope to resume doing it again, but money's tight right now and it comes down to a choice between funding autocross and the car or riding and the choice is obvious. I don't hate my car, but she's the "middle child" to me for now.
