You Might be a Gearhead If

[Jeronimojc]

Not a novel subject here, I know. I haven't considered myself a gearhead in the past, but a few things got me thinking you guys may have some funny things to share.



You Might be a Gearhead If:

You have more cellphone pictures of your engine than of your kids.
Your wife is not surprised when you place engine parts in the oven.
Your boss questioned you about the tire marks in the parking lot.
You can degree cams, but you can't fix a loose toilet.
Here are a few from another site just to kick-start things:

The emissions test guy starts laughing as soon as you pull into their bay.
You can't drive your car in the rain.
Your 'significant other' is afraid to drive your car.
You are afraid to drive your car.

* The emissions test guy starts laughing as soon as you pull into their bay.
* You can't drive your car in the rain.

Guilty as charged.

*You yell at people for slamming your door.
*You park all the way at the end of the parking lot so nobody gets near your car.
*You're broke but you car does killer burnouts.
*Your idea of Saturday night fun is just to go driving (this might only be me)

*You take a ride on the weekend just to see how many thumbs up and "nice car" comments you get*

You skipped out on buying an engagement ring to buy parts. Forgive me Jesus.

[Motorhead350]

*You will race anything at a stop light
*You like to discuss Top Gear U.K. with others like it's a sit com
*You know how to fix something on someone else car because it already happened to you
*A junkyard is your thrift shop
*A tool box rides in your trunk
*You think armed forces should attack c.a.f.e.
*You ride with the window half way down to hear the exhaust even if it's below freezing

Nailed it!

[BigM460]

Your car is backed into a parking spot over 90% of the time.

You don't suffer fools well that are clueless about cars.

Your family asks "Do you need that?" What does NEED have to do with anything!

You keep your Marauder clean, because you must represent!

When you dust off the car more than you dust off your wife.

When your garage heat more than doubles your bill.

When you have to recite a checklist of how everything operates on your modified car before you hand over the keys.

If you agree to upgrade your wife's iPhone, because you want to upgrade your transmission, but you don't have budget for either.

The DMV changes your emission testing from every other year to every year.

*remember the engine codes for 2 decades and 3 makes of car
*know the cam card specs to the first and last engines you built
*know the wrenches needed to pull the engine out of a car from 35 years ago
*have tools in the garage to do jobs you cant even do
*just can't get rid of those parts from 6 cars you sold ten years ago - might need them

X2
Same here

[WhatsUpDOHC]

* Your favorite perfume is burning rubber and racing fuel.

* Yes, you park as far away from other cars as possible so that you don't get dinged but also so that you can have a longer time to look at your car as you walk up to it.

* You drew 4 speed shift patterns on your desk in 6th grade (With your pencil as the shifter) and drag raced your friend (him 69 Road Runner, you 70 Cuda) - Complete with wheel stands.

* Your next house will have an 8 car, 2 story, garage.

* The worst question that anyone can ask you is "What is your favorite car?".

Great thread!
