If you have more pictures of your car in your phone than pictures of your kids, you must be a car guy

...when you help your wife/so spec her new car to be exactly what she wants, when really you are steering her to exactly what you want so you can have an additional cool car in the family.

[sygazelle]

....when you look back at your car as you are walking away from it.

....when you go out to the garage to check on it and sneak a peak with no other reason to be there.

If you love to hear the sound of your car, "waking up", when you approach it with the key or unlock it.

If you love to hear the various pumps and fans still working when you park it after a hard drive.

If you've ever parked your car on a lawn after a hard drive and killed the grass directly under the exhaust system leaving a pattern of your system.

....if you go to the garage for something and are drawn to your beloved machine and just stand there and look at it and smile.

2. If you have parts store on speed dial
3. If you purposely choose your gasoline brand so your baby won't get the hiccups
4. If you clay your car or even knows what that means
5. If you take the other car if it rains or snow or whatever...
6. If you own more micro fiber towels than bath towels

If you lie to your wife about how often you browse autotrader

If you run a separate load of laundry for ONLY your microfiber towels

If your wife's car is the only car the family can eat in

If you have a stack of perfectly good tires in the garage

When you use higher octane fuel even in cars that don't need it just to make you feel better

When you you drive by Quick Lube places and lough out loud, thinking about how synthetic oil change only costs $35 to do yourself.

Good list, guilty of a lot on here. Specially listening to my own, as well as other people’s exhaust.

[5.M0NSTER]

When Other People’s Rubber marks on your car after track days are not considered dirt. Hey are badges of honor.

[baege]

You prefer to ride alone in silence so you can truly engage with the car and take it all in
(instead of being distracted by your SO's stories about work, or navi or radio or calls)

when you drive, you just want to drive

[MKSixer]

When you track the car enough that you have to have your front fascia repainted once a year.
