You Know U R Car crazy when....

Another way to tell is to look at the license plates. Police vehicles are CA exempt, and have such on their plates. There is no yearly registration sticker. I find this to be the easiest way to discern if it's a blacked out civilian vehicle or a sheriff vehicle.

Oh, you can tell you're car crazy when....

-you're registered at all the car forums you can find!

 

YOU KNOW YOU ARE CAR CRAZY WHEN...

... you get married in a diferent state, leave your new wife for a week there to go back to your permanent residence state and before you secure an apartment or moving arrangements you get a car.
... you spent the 2 months prior to getting married researching prices so you would get the best deal possible on the car but only 4 hours looking for an apartment.
... you rent a car in North Carolina to see your brother in Louisiana. When you get there, your brother asks how fast were you driving? and your response is "I Won!"
... your friends ask you if you've seen the new X car by Y manufacturer and you can tell them the magazine tittle, issue date, page number and can quote the article without thinking about it.
... you get offered a job as a car salesman by the dealer's owner himself because you just told him all the specs of the only Dodge Viper in town, including tire size, first month of production, performance specs from all major publication testings, height, length, width and wheelbase... in mm and inches; when all he said was "is you have any questions about the car, let me know".
... you get offended by that statement.
... you cut grass all weekend to be able to buy the only three car publications available in town as soon as they come out.
... the clerks at the store holds them for you every month without you asking.
... a car manufacturer sends you a hat as a gift with a letter that asks you to pay attention to their printed advertisements for the next month and a request to stop calling their 1-800 number.
... the advertisement is a two page spread of the car you have been asking more information about with more information than you've ever knew existed.
... you fly to buy a car you've never seen other than a few pictures and then drive it back home over 1,800 miles.
... you discuss differences on weight transfer between front engine, mid engine, rear engine and mid/front engine with any one that would endure the half hour it takes you to explain each one.

 

Don't be rediculous, no one is that insane.

 

I know at least two that crazy

 

You take an M5 out so you can test drive it, even though you can be fired for doing so.

 

Thats a pretty good one

 

When you have a thing called "car-dar" and spend the whole bus ride home looking out the window and jump in your seat when something exciting goes by and tell fellow car guys on the bus. (Keep in mind i'm a high school student still waitin for his license )

 

When out of more than 200 pictures on your digital camera's memory card, only two of them are people, all the rest are cars. BTW the two people are Paul Tracy and Da Matta.

 

My wife just said did you post this. Five car garage with six cars in it and her new Tiguan out on the driveway.

 

Almost as bad. Two of us with Hawthorn, Amy, Roo, Justin Timberlake, and Baby Blue. And we are expecting another little bundle of joy....this one with 4WD...

 

When this is in front of your house. Which house is adjacent to a track

When you apex everything from supermarket shopping carts to Home Depot dollies and commit to overtaking other shoppers.

 

. . . when you have 2 drivers, 6 cars, a 3 car garage, and are contemplating whether or not adding a 360 spyder to the mix actually makes sense

 

You plan your vacation to a city that has an IMAX so you can see Fast and Furious on a really big screen.

You buy a CD of Ferrari car sounds at The Ferrari Store so you can listen to Ferraris while driving your Porsche cuz it doesn't sound cool enough.

You wash your sports cars more frequently than you bathe YOURSELF!

You spend more time chatting with strangers on Fchat in a day than you talk to your wife in a month.

You find some excuse to drive your Fcar everyday...like driving 100 miles for lunch or gas. Really.

 

He is probably in California. They do send a letter if you keep registering and transferring cars.

Have a friend in California, he decided to flip cars for fun. He was doing it more to drive different cars, then to make money. CA sent him a letter like that.

 

Suck for your friend if all they wanted to do was drive different cars. I don't think people should be limited in buying and selling cars if you sell them for the same or less amount than you bought them for. I can understand if you're making money on them and needing a dealer license. Here in FL, they limit you to 3 cars a year without a dealer licence (buy 3 and sell 3).

 

Most jurisdictions have a limit. I know Washington State has a limit (forget what it is). They are worried about getting more sales tax. Private sellers tend to list lower values.

 

You roll down the windows of your car and turn off the music to hear that car's exhaust next to you.
When the garage is more important then the size of the house.
Planning for your road trip.
Going to car shows.
Watch automotive stuff on TV.
Having a car movie collection.

 

When you spend 1 1/2 yrs and a bunch of money stuffing a modified 930 turbo motor in a '68 VW double cab.
