You know your a Car Enthusiast when....

A girl that was interestested in me a while back came to me in tears and she told me "Sometimes I wish that you would look at me the way you look at cars."

My gf, not a car enthusiast, calls me whenever she sees a nice car just to tell me about it.

My gf also talks unfounded trash about the SRT.

LOL, before she was my wife, my wife would do that.....now nothing...ever. I hate marriage sometimes....
 
You know you're an enthusiast when you can tell there's a car show/event in town just by the observing traffic. (see a few more bikes than usual, know there's a Bike show/rally.. See more hot rods/restored cars and know there's a Classic auto show...)

... and be right each time.
 
1) You listen to cars accelerate outside your window, and unconsciously congratulate those driving sticks and attempt to psychically b**** smack people with autos.

I hand out a lot of b**** smacks.

2) You look forward to spring not for the flowers and warm weather, but due to the simple fact that its when people dust off their weekend cars (I saw a Plymouth GTX, an Olds 442, and a mint Sprite today. There's also a guy around here somewhere who has a Sunbeam Tiger!).

3) You know what a Sunbeam Tiger is. :D

I'm guilty of just about every one of the things mentioned, especially the spotting of factory sleepers, and being able to spot a car based just on a glimpse of it's taillights.

sunbeam tiger made by pontiac, right?
You're a laugh riot.

Edit: wait, are you serious or kidding? If you're serious, then I should tell you that the Sunbeam Tiger was not made by pontiac. Do a google search on it.
