You know you are a gearhead if......

(please only post things that you KNOW you have done)


...when you are bored, you play sound clips/video of your car.
...you never feel like your tool collection could be complete.
...when you smell gasoline or asphalt or burnt tires/clutch/brakes, your pulse rises.
 
...when the only pages you visit are Car forums or Jegs.com
...When all your jeans are stained, and even a few of your khaki's....
...When your family gives you AutoZone gift certificates at your birthday
...When your kids are named Brock Ford Mustang Halpain and Tyler Cobra Jet Halpain (Honestly, those are my kids names....)

I have more, but I am going to look on Summitracing.com
 
...when you can make a PCV valve out of a government pen and duct tape.
...when you use the bathtub to clean parts and the oven to bake header coating, yet bath in your garage sink and live off of a 5lb container of Twizzlers.
...when your dreams stop including women and start including bolt ons.
...when you start looking for unique challenges to go fast, like building a V6, using stock heads, or not using forced induction.
...when you start carrying more "spare parts" and tools in the trunk "just in case" than you keep anywhere else.
...when you start justifying the need for parts cars.
...when you realize that your beater has turned into a queen that consumes all of your time, money, and love.
 
When This is your homepage, and

is your screen saver.....and I do not even own the car any longer......
 
when your head turns to look at a car instead of the woman driving the car
when your house contains more car parts then your car does
when your neighbors, friends, coworkers accuse you of having a used car lot in your driveway
 
...when you know what happens when you spill brake fluid on your crotch.
...when one of your jobs involved keeping powerlines away from panel vans before you did their brakes.
