I genuinely don't have any of them, did do, don't anymore, too easy to spend every spare bit of time flicking through them rather than doing something constructive, also the amount of shit people put on there started to annoy me too

No wonder your missus is the way she is, after working 25 hour days 8 days a week you come home to you missus to stick your nose in your phone looking at boobs and porn stars

A site where you like any picture that has even the most tenuous link to your interests.

It's a bit like twitter, only you post pictures taken with a very good camera, make them look like a Polaroid from the 70's then add eleventy hashtags.

It's a smartphone app that has unfairly received a bad reputation
Basically it's a means to share photos along with short text descriptions.
You choose companies and people to "follow". All photos uploaded by these people then appear in a timeline for you to quickly skim through.
The app allows you to add retro filters to your photos. This feature along with the app being widely used to share selfies and food images has given it some harsh criticism, which is quite unreasonable given it's up to you who you follow and said shitty photos are thus easily avoided.
As you're a car guy, there's lots of interesting accounts to follow.
Refined Detail, Rich from off here, has a great feed with all the cool cars he works on: http://instagram.com/refineddetail
Lemass Automotive, Tom from off here, posts some cool pictures of cars, mostly Porsches, in various stages of renovation: http://instagram.com/lemass_automotive
Photos are tagged using hashtags, which is something people seem to be quite confused about.
In essence, it's a means of searching for specific content. For instance, you could to a search for #cosworth and see all pictures tagged as such.
