Default You might be a car guy if...........

This was edited from the Dec. 2004 issue of Car Craft

Feel free to add your own.

You might be a car guy if.....

...you shut off your car radio so you can hear
your exhaust.
...current gas prices don't slow you down
much.
...you park your car in the most remote part of
the parking lot.
...you like any car or truck as long as it has
round headlights.
...you watch the same episodes of gearhead
related reality shows over and over.
...you have pictures of your cars on your desk
at work and none of your family.
...the highlight of your day is driving back and
forth to work in your muscle car.
...you notice your car doesn't run as good when
it's dirty!

I have 3 pics of my car on locker at work, none of my family.

I parked at the ACE hardware yesterday and walked across the parking lot to go to the grocery store.

We have a 2 car garage and only one car in the garage. Hmmm...

There seems to be a pattern forming here.

I make my wife park out in the street so that she doesn't block the driveway in case I want to take the Corvette out.

Won't show it to my wife or she will use it as ammo to send me to a psychiatrist for treatment of OCD.

I always take different ways home from work in case someone has a car out for sale and I give directions by where old cars are sitting.

...if you see a muscle car approaching in opposite direction and you slow down, roll down your window just to hear his engine & exhaust music.
