What makes a car guy?
I was reading AutoWeek last night, and thier poll question for the week was, What makes a car guy? Some replies were:
-finding something interesting about any four-wheeled vechicle
-finding washing your car strangely sensuous
-knowing the horsepower ratings for all of your cars
What do you guys think about this? I was just wondering what you guys considered as classifying yourselves as car guys...

I think the first response was about right...liking something about or seeing something interesting about any car. I have a hard time saying I'm diehard for one brand or another. I like the 350z for some things & I go nuts over the Cl for some things. Have had cars & sold them...only to miss certain things about the car & end up buying another one. My girl thinks I'm wacky.

Being a car guy is not about owning a shitload of vehicles, but rather about having an appreciation for all types of automobiles.

I was so missing my CL-S for the past 11 days while tranny #3 was being installed. I had a smile from ear to ear when I picked it up yesterday morning. The service advisor couldn't stop laughing that I was soooo happy to have my baby back.

Hell, what am i talking about with this week stuff? I miss my car after only a few hours!
Although, this might be more of a "you know you love your car when..." than a "you're a car guy when..."

It's when you start dreamin' about cars.. that's when you are a car guy! Or as my wife puts it... NUTS!!
I had a R/C car once, a Tamiya Avanti. It had a sticker on the rear spoiler... "Being NUTS is NEAT!"
