You know you're a car guy when....

[FERG_51]

When you refer to all people by the car they drive, eg you know the guy he drives the red BA XR8 lowered with wheels. Or when i talk about my crook knee refering it to having a worn cv joint.

Although I don't have kids my dog has a car related name.

Here's one.

-When your car is cleaner than your room. Well my room isn't actually messy persay, but my SS is actually cleaner inside hahahaha. Or you car isn't dirty, but you still go over it with a chamois anyway.

When you move to bathurst just so a lap around the track can become part of the commute home from work (even if it is a few kms out of the way)

& then get comments from the people that walk around the track every day
"why do you dive around here all the time"

If I have to explain, you wouldnt understand.

[FERG_51]

When you buy an XR50T for a daily driver but just cant bring yourself to do it,so you buy a crappy old telstar to do the daily dutys and the XR50 becomes the car for special trips.

[Buntz]

When you meet friends of friends and you decide to talk about cars even when it's making things awkward.

[Phil B]

When you chose to drive a non air conditioned XB coupe on a 43 degree day, even though you could have driven other cars with air con instead. Yep, took my coupe out around town a few times today, and I don't regret it one bit...

[tex]

When the vehicle you take to work everyday has more output at the rear wheels - than a V8 supercar does at the engine......., and despite paying 1.70 per lt for fuel..... you still grab its keys and not the 4cyl Quattros to run down the shops.....

This is my favourite thread by far it reconfirms that my behaviour towards cars and my car is normal and that all the people who think otherwise are in fact the weird people.

[Stagg]

Not gonna be ashamed of this, I'm picking up a sofa bed next weekend and when working those late nights in the garage I'll be sleeping out next to my machines

No don't fool yourself into thinking we're normal, we are the weird ones. Got to drive a camry or a smart car to be normal.

... You have an electric toothbrush only because it's another thing to own that has a motor.

[Mr Brooksy]

When you get annoyed that the car you pull up behind is dirty so you cant see your car's reflection.

When you can spot a 'faker' (from various manufacturers) from over 100m away, and have different classes of fakes ranging from, "That's just wrong" to "that's a good job, but they just need...".

[XBROO]

When you go to your 4 year olds kindy graduation and the kindy teacher says his propose career is a classic car rebuilder.
