Cool You know you love your car when...

So I thought it might be fun if we post either funny or interesting ways that car nuts enjoy their car..

For example, you know you love your car when:
You kiss it goodnight (yes i've done this haha)
You could look at pics of it for hours...


I cant really think of any good ones but hey, there are funny people here... make some jokes everyone

When you nearly run into the car in front while admiring the reflection of your car in the shops on the side of the street as you drive past.

Haha yep - if you can walk away from your car and not look back then you bought the wrong car! ;)

Also...

When you slip on the clutch or something not overly good, you stroke the steering wheel and apologise to the car!

When you spend more than the cars purchase price on modifications. And you don't care. And you spend more.

When your family doesn't even need to ask and just assume (in my case) it's something for my computer or something for my car

When you're buying a house.... and of course you glance at how many bedrooms there are for the kids etc...

But really... the most important fitting is the garage... where is the car(s) going to sleep??

When you:

Have a photo of your car on your phone and laptop.

Ask motels what's the parking area like.

Won't drive down dirt roads or if you have to you don't go over 40k's

Get professional photos take of your car rather than your family.

Park your car so you can see it from a restaurant or cafe.

Go up on a scenic lookout and spend more time looking down on your car than the view.

Go on a holiday and come back with more photos of your car than family.

When you can list 7 reasons without much thought.

Might stop there as I am starting to think I am obsessed with my car

You go to the shopping centre and even though you have , buggered ankles/knees/hips from years of working your butt off, you still park way up the other end of the carpark away from the other cars and limp into the shopping centre to protect your pride and joy.
