You know you are a real car guy when...

You know you are a car guy when:

You follow some guy driving a Studebaker Hawk for about five miles before you can get him to pull over so you can look at his car.

 

you know you are a car guy when:

you are going on vacation somewhere, and start looking on that Craigslist as part of planning how much money to bring.

 

When you take a pee-pee and you start and stop the stream so it sounds like gear changes.

 

The only framed picture in the living room is of your car. Not your family.

 

When your wife takes the DD and you happily show up to a funeral in your Ferrari.

 

Haven't heard that one before. lol

 

As a small child, you had to be frisked every Sunday before church because you were smuggling a Hot Wheel in a pocket somewhere.

 

You know you're a car guy when you do a half donut in a snow covered car park in your SmartCar to stop next to an astonished police officer, nonchalantly power the window down to ask for directions, thank him politely, and then wheel spin away into the night.

I promise that actually happened.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

Your Facebook feed has pictures of the 64 Impala wagon and the Ferrari California you saw today but you have no pics of your kids first day back to school this year.

 

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

...you would prefer to be driving something quirky than something reliable.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

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

You go into a new car showroom and start asking about curb weight and what features can be deleted.

 

When you take the long way home because it's a more fun road to drive.

 

..when you are never satisfied with the size of your garage.....

 

You know you are a car guy when : you take your wife to Maranello on your honeymoon even tho it means getting up at 4 am one day

Echo post 3 too !

 

...you read and respond to threads like this!

 

When you post vacation pics on Facebook and your relatives say "(you are) the only people I know who take pictures of cars, trucks and vans while on vacation."

 

... and you actually sketch out a plan to remove your kitchen to add a garage bay.

 

You know you're a car guy when you buy your first Ferrari without consulting or discussing with your wife....you tell her AFTER the purchase

 

I did the same thing, She found out when I showed up with the trailer.

Maybe that's why she is my Ex wife now..

 

That's what I did with my wife. I just told her it's a blue sports car. How bad could it be?

 

I can identify with that.
Wife: Did you get that FedEx envelope?
Me: Yes, thanks.
Wife: What was it?
Me: Ferrari title.
She didn't say another thing to me for about a week.
She later admitted that I had told her that I was going to buy a Ferrari, but thought that I was joking.
She's sort of ok with my Ferrari thing now. She went to Maranello with me. She will occasionally ride with me. She asks me to take her friends for rides. She went to Pebble Beach with me once. She let me park it in her garage space. She even told me I could get another one.
She had a biege Chevette when we got married, drives a Forester now.

 

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

You're hooked so much on Velocity Channel you think Ed China repairing cars with a spray can is a good idea and reruns of "All Girls Garage" are still interesting the third time around.

 

Ooooh... you guys are brave!

Do you all still have the correct number of testicles after your wives were informed? I'm not sure I would have...

Fortunately, Nicky is pretty supportive of the 348 dream.

All the best,
Andrew.
