Top Ten Reason You Know Your A Car Nut.

You all know who you are..All invited to ad to the list..

1 – You go to auto parts store just to browse. You

know it’s a nice summer day and you just have to see

what kind of wax is on sale or the newest gadgets to

come on the market.

2 – You have parts for cars you owned 10 years

ago. Hey you never know when your going to need

that 1938 Packard horn button or that 1957 Mercedes

220 owners manual.

3 – You have nicknames for your tools. I have a 50

year old pry bar with a yellow handle. I call him Ole

Yeller.

4 – You know there is other stuff on E-Bay but you

cant get past E-Bay motors.

5 – You have torn, burnt, cut, scraped, froze, pulled,

ripped, destroyed, bent, poked, splintered, jabbed

almost every part of you body during some type of

repair.

6 – You have had a VW Bug experience. You ain’t

lived till you been subject to some sort of VW Bug

mishap. Mine involved a 1966 Bug with rotted floors.

Let’s just say when the pedal box went sailing through

the floor boards on a rather large hill I saw my young

life flash in front of my eyes.

7 – You know car trivia and dates better than important

stuff. Carol Shelby’s birthday. Check. The timing

specs for a Spitfire. Check. Who’s ahead in the

Nascar standings. Check. Your Mom’s birthday. Duh.

Your anniversary. Duh.

8 – You’ve watch Smokey and the Bandit. And you

like it! You watch Overhaulin’ and cry at the end when

the person gets “Overhauled.”

9 – You have a bigger car t-shirt collection than Fruit

of the Loom. And you refuse to throw out the one with

holes and grease stains.

10 – As you get older you daydream less about the

opposite sex and more about car stuff. You

know..mmm header for the TR6…mmm new top for

the Spitfire..mmm look at that TR4…mmm Weber

carbs…MMMM! Look at that blonde..Ok Ok I’m not

that old.

See ya
