Ya know you're a gearhead

[thunderbolt64]

The turning your own wrenches is partly to blame for the inspiration.

Ya know you're a Gearhead when:

1. Your garage has more square footage than your house, and it's still not big enuff.

2. Your rolling toolbox is as big as your car.

3. When you go to the Mall with your wife, you head straight to the tool section at Sears.

4. There are more cars in your driveway, than there are liscensed drivers in your household.

5. You have atleast 2 floor jacks, but still want one of the new lightweight racing jacks.

6. You think it's perfectly natural to have a car lift in your garage.


Ok, that is just a few...........please add to this list. There is prolly one out there already.

very true...i've always wondered when i'll get that knock on the door, but knowing my town, they wont get to that for another year. i had one ticket when i was younger, and i sent in my plea, and it took them almost a year to send back a court date

Ok, let's get back on track!

Ya know you're a gearhead, when you are more excited about your new Summit Catalog, than you are your next issue of Playboy............this one may be a bit of a reach.

After 15 years of marriage, we're still on the first washer/dryer set...how many cars have there been?

You rip a perfectly good low mileage motor out of your car to stuff in more cubes?

You actually own all the specialty tools required to break a stang down to parade rest and back?

You keep at least two full gasket sets on the shelf in the garage, just in case...

The scary part is I have two friends that have #6, it is awesome for puting stuff on your car, lol!

[232stang]

It makes life so much easier huh?

[thumpin347]

It makes life so much easier huh?
not by much...when something needs to be done i most likely end up doing it in my driveway on jackstands. i dont want to pester them to let me use their lifts

[SDRMustang1]

that sucks, my friends try to find stuff to do to peoples cars to use their lifts, lol, guess it just worked out for me...

You know your a gear head when you look forward to going to sears and looking at the tool set.

You get the sunday flyer and you look in the tool/car parts(Vendors) section before you look at any other ad's.

[thunderbolt64]

Here's another one!

Ya know you're a gear head when decide to watch American Hotrod/Chopper over Football/Basketball.

[SDRMustang1]

You know your a gearhead when you know movies by the cars in it and not the actors...

[Roush2960]

You know your a gear head when you can tell what kinda car is comming by its exhaust sound.

[thunderbolt64]

Ya know you're a gearhead when:


Ya stop in mid-conversation with the wife, to point out a kewl car. FIREWORKS, and no sex for about a week.

[thumpin347]

you know you are a gearhead when american chopper/hotrod comes on, and all you can do is laugh at the textbook fabrication they do, and laugh at the simplicity/lack of their "custom fabrication"

It is very scripted, but it has to be.

I'm sure the Discovery Channel figures the average Joe, who watches it, prolly can't even change their own oil.
