Default You know you're a gearhead when.....

This topic came to mind last night when I could not get the cap off my beer. I went to my kitchen, which is serving as my laundry room during remodel, to see what I had to aid me in my dilemma. I found a 4 inch piece of 3/8 inch fuel line and preceed to bend it over the cap and use it to free the beer that was trapped inside the bottle. :)

You know you're a gearhead when:

You use fuel line to twist off your beer cap.


Let's here some more!

You know your a gear head when the local parts store calls you up asking if you have any new C-3 parts in stock you want to sell.

..You eat a sandwich with greasy hands and you like the flavor it adds.
..your daily iron vitamins come form the metal shavings in your beer
..if you have ever tasted tranny fluid, antifreeze, oil, grease
..you have a seperate closet full of car towels
..you would rather spend money on car parts than food.
..the smell of 113 octane gives you chills
..your significant other repeats the phrase.. you love that car more than me..
..your nieghbors constantly ask you for car advise and dont mind the 2:00 am dry hops in the driveway.
:lol:

You know you're a gearhead when...
* important dates and annversaries are remembered by correlating them with your machine(s). "It was when the car was black primer,cragers and I had just fired up the new 427"
* Transmission, heads ,block and other car parts occupy more than two rooms in your house
* You go out to the parking lot and polish your valve covers during lunch hour
* Your daily driver's cam "duration @.050" is longer than most weekend warrior's "advertised duration"
* You pick up your dad from the airport and he asks "when you going to shift outta second?" 4.88's + 4 speed = WAAAAAAAAAA :rolleyes:
* You purchase an entire running car just to put the good stuff in yours :eek:
* Now matter how bad it gets when spinning wrenches,you always come back for more :D

Your bathroom is full of old issues of Corvette Fever, Chevy High Performance, Car Craft, Road & Track, while you throw out the Playboy each month when the new issue arrives.

Since I'm looking for a house and I do this all the time.

When the real estate agent calls with a prospective house and your first question is "how big is the garage?" :lol:
