We are like kids in a candy store, except the candy is made of metal, goes vroom-vroom, and occasionally bankrupts us faster than a sugar rush at a candy store sale! We spend hours debating the merits of turbochargers versus superchargers, and our weekends are a never-ending quest for the perfect polish and wax combo. We can identify every make and model by the sound of a revving engine, and our idea of a romantic evening is a candlelit dinner with our cars in the garage.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.supercars.net","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Supercars.net\/","https:\/\/instagram.com\/super.cars.fans","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/supercars_net"],"url":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/author\/supercars\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258018","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=258018"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258018\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258034"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=258018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=258018"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=258018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
