You know you're car guy if...

[ghettoracingkid]

.... When you see a car on the road and cant understand how someone let it get like that

.... You eye someone elses car and wonder how would that look on here

.... you say ohh man if I had that _____ i would totally_______

.... You know what your next car is right after you buy one and you actually get it.

.... You go to countless car shows every week and look at the same cars

.... you get excited when someone checks out your car while in a parking lot

you buy a stick before you know how to drive it...

 

[Saskatchewan17]

...when you use your engine/exhaust note as music instead of your radio!

Guilty... I do this all the time.

 

[Wagonbacker9]

...your gf's stepmother comments on how your gf is starting to talk like a car girl.

...you've never been more proud than when the above happened.

...your gf wants to shift your car to get a feel for it, while riding shotgun.

You marry the girl because she is a car-chick!

My lovely bride would only have a manual in her Z. 'Because automatics are for sixteen year old girls...' (Her words - not mine! )

When you flick off the traction and stability control when in gridlock traffic just to get the "raw feel of the car."

 

[aMaff]

How about when you buy a car with no traction or stability control because it's the more fun one? (see AP1 vs AP2 S2000... yet another reason I got the older car )

 

[Saskatchewan17]

^Even better^

Heck yeah dude. Only 'nanny' it has is ABS... that unlike the protege's ABS actually works lol. Peaky power band + big, sudden jump in torque / power + really twitchy rear suspension + relatively meh tires + Torsen LSD + no electronic nannies + no electronic throttle + 9000 RPM == buckets of fun

 

[RacerXGirl]

^^ the ABS in my car works just fine Andrew...it's not the car's fault that it scared you silly the first time you autocrossed it, came in hot though a corner, over some gravel, stomped on the brakes and plowed through a wall of cones because you thought you broke it.

idk, I have to agree that the ABS just makes me nervous every time it kicks on. On that note, I'll go back on topic:

....if you view ABS as a hinderance instead of an assistance feature.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

hey now....I can turn the traction control off in my AP2

You grin when you see a curvy road ahead sign...

When more than one person needs to go somewhere, you always volunteer to drive...always...

You fall asleep at night mentally checking off the next mods on your list (counting sheep is for losers)...

BTW, I have tried to unlock my front door with a key fob on more than one occasion!

When you plan your wedding for the weekend of the Gatornational and you honymoon on the gulf coast 75 miles from the track so you can make the finals on Sunday Morning ! When you gave your wife 2 Top Eliminator tickets for the event as a wedding gift!
