This is what i say when people ask me. In person, i'd rather talk to you about anything other than cars, preferably food, places, history, culture or animals. I hate people, and love to stay in my own space. I have a pet, Eva, and i can bring up her at least twice in any conversation. Rest, i have little to no filter.
