    Wow, I feel badly for you guys who had to go behind your wife's back.

    When I told my wife I was buying a Ferrari her response was it's about time!

    Perhaps you'd need to go see an urologist. ;)

    You know you're car guy when you just can't help yourself from clicking a post about timing belts.

    ....you convert the dining area of your already small house to make a garage and then add a glass wall onto the living room for your viewing pleasure...

    You know you are a car guy when:

    You have seriously considering cutting up your concrete garage floor and installing a garage pit.

    When you have your family (sister, brother-in-law, nephews) give you a gift of ferrari luggage for christmas and then tell your wife it's
    for the ferrari that we own so we can take it on future trips.

    That's went over really well !! :)

    You walk 30 minutes to your destination instead of driving because it is raining out and all your cars are clean.

    You know you're a real car guy when you get up at five o'clock Sunday morning after a couple of hours of sleep to go for a canyon run w/ your car buddies. :)

    These are all symptoms I've got too.....

    You know you're a real car guy if you organise your family holiday destinations that way, you pass several car collections/musea that you have to see.

    Well car chick in my case but check:
    - car pics in wallet
    - holidays planned around car events
    - ' you love the car more than me' complaint from husband
    - downgraded from house to apartment in order to buy 308
    - assess sums of money based on how many tyres it will buy
    - most precious gifts I own are car related trivia I've been given

    You bring your newborn home son home from the hospital in the Ferrari while his mother rides in a totally different vehicle.

    Your newlywed wife comes back to the apartment after a day of house hunting and her first words are "you are gonna LOVE the garage it's bigger than the house". It wasn't, but only missed by 75 sq ft, it did have 16ft ceilings though. We bought the garage, I mean house, lived there for 8 years and I still miss that garage every day.

    You still wake up early on a Sunday to catch the European F1 races live even though you're really upset with the direction the league has taken the past 5+ years. :(

    You associate numbers you read with models and engine sizes.
