You know your a Car Enthusiast when....
- Thread starter Akaveli
- Start date
When you're on watch and you're actually becoming amused from reading all these posts....
Here's mine...
1. Making sure that when someone has parked next to you they don't bump their door into yours BEFORE YOU EVEN GET OUT.
2. Keeping track of all the other Pro5's that are at your work (So far yellow, black w/rims, white and red) and observing whether or not they've done any mods. In my case a naval base.
3. When it's been 2 weeks or a little more *feeling ashamed* since you've been able to wash and/or wax and when you finally do you're "obsessed" as lovingly noted by your significant other.
4. Wincing when someone has a horrible aluminum wing on a damn late model impala or >insert any make of car that looks especially stupid<.<INSERT stupid especially looks that make other any>
5. Pouting because there's bills and nothing left to order something for your car. (In my case the CAI and a new exhaust.)
6. Finally, seeing this hot guy with a hot car and just wanting the car. (He would be an added bonus but...)

I never full contact tackled a cart before, but I did slide tackle one when it was about 10 feet away from my car going straigh at it,and it flipped on top of me. That was rather painful, but no car damage.

and on that note........
When the saftey and well being of your car takes priority over the safety and well being of yourself.
When the saftey and well being of your car takes priority over the safety and well being of yourself.
...when you try to find the birds that constantly s*** on your car.
...when you drive by a building with a lot of windows and ALWAYS glance over as you're driving by so you can check your car out.
...also, when you check you car out in the reflection of other cars, esp. SUVs or truck's tailgates.

(omg) really? well when you visit vegas...can i watch?
- when the sound/sight of a nice car - esp. muscle cars and 'pick-me-ups' - makes you more than warm and tingly inside and gives you some rather 'interesting' ideas (and thoughts of where those ideas could lead inside the vehicle simply are icing on the cake)... (naughty) (godown)
- when the sight of a late 80's tempo WITH RUST, a hood scoop and aftermarket wing makes you physically ill... (pukey) (braindead
- when you look first at the vehicle and second at the cute guy driving it - hey, I have my priorities...

When you make "car noises" while doing random things during your day, like pushing a shopping cart.

I do this...At night, I look to see how my headlights look in the car in front of me, then I turn on my fogs and see how they look, and I do this till the light turns green.
I find that I have to be careful driving by big glass buildings because I will just stare at my reflection as I drive by, not watching the road as carefully as I should.

I got my GF to stand on the front of the shopping cart so that the back end would slide around like butter. We cruised around Meijer like a japanese drifter...it was awesome.
About making car sounds, my gf and I will be studying somewhere and I'll go "vrrrroooooooooooooom...pshhhhhhh" without really realizing it.
I want to get an engine rev and BOV sound for my cell phone ring tone.
