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

[l88m22vette]

you jump out of the car and adjust your MBC at a stoplight

you check your oil at the gas station and don't do it to flex nuts

you think about posting pics on the internet of the tools/parts you've broken

you rationalize a $100 part but only have ketchup, mustard, and Taco Bell salsa in the fridge

you keep your car cleaner than yourself

Its sad that i would drop $200 on my car and find it hard to justify spending $30 on a couple tee shirts. And my car is rather dirty and has been for many months. Think i cleaned it 1-2 times in the last year.

When you randomly shout out what is mechanically wrong with the car next to you while driving. Uh, Wheeel bearings!

When your motto is "if it ain't broke, take it apart anyway, then modify it to work better than it did from the factory."

[Cincy]

^ yep, live on the "everything can be improved" motto

[ImTheDevil]

Absolutely - whereas most people look at the purchase of a car as the endgame to a long process, for true car nuts, it's only the starting point. Get that blank canvas home, break out the wrenches, and get to work:)

[l88m22vette]

Yep...I actually don't ever worry about shopping for a car, salesmen are just people to deal with. Thats a huge (if sorta silly) advantage to being a car guy - I have a finely-tuned bullshit filter for cars
