if you own a torque wrench... you might be a car guy

Darth One · 10-08-2020, 11:36 PM

Wait...what kind of barbarian doesn’t own a torque wrench??

If you put your bmw up on wood blocks in the front yard .... you might be a red neck.

If you like the smell of a new car, you might be a car guy.

sygazelle · 10-09-2020, 11:47 AM

If you have a pair of Levi's that you wear for working on your car and you never wash them because they are just going to get dirty again, you might be a car guy.

If your wife is always pointing out grease on your hands, neck, forehead, ears, and/or under chin that you missed as you exit the shower, you might be a car guy.

If you can identify the make of a classic car just based on sound, you might be a car guy. If you get the model and the year, extra credit points.

sygazelle · 10-09-2020, 11:56 AM

If your local auto parts store sends you a Christmas card every year, you might be a car guy.

If you tell your new girlfriend, "Shhhhhh...let's listen to the Diff Fan as it cools the differential from the run!!"

I did this. Last week.

If you have a 10-gallon steel trashcan in your garage full of washed and folded red shop towels...

You might be a car guy.

If you own four torque wrenches, you are definitely a car guy.

Damned Amazon.
