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.

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

When you look back at your car when walking away from it at a car park & when parked within eyesight keep admiring it sitting there while at a café etc..

When people ask what you want for a birthday/Christmas and the first thing you think about "what does my car need, HMmmmm".

When you go for a job interview and you demand to the Employer that the interview must be held inside your 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

When your missus can't clean her jewelry because you used the last of the Brasso on the braided lines in your engine bay
When the baby has to wear disposables as you kept all the soft fluffy nappies for polishing your ride... ^^^ honest that never happened

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.

-Your missus smashes it up in an accident and you are only worried about the damage to the car.
-when your toddlers know not to touch the windows or the paint. |

When you sold the bloody thing 10 years ago in a fit of maturity (at the urging of the leader of the opposition) and still think about giving yourself a dozen uppercuts at least 6 times every month since.
