Re: What is a Car Guy?

Anyone that views their car as more than an appliance.

Any update on the GMAC sale?

Errr... can we change that to "someone who views SOME of their cars as more than a appliance?"

Either that or I don't qualify, and let's be honest, my Cavalier IS an appliance.

A very good, wholesome and functional appliance, but still an appliance.

How about "a car" ... doesn't even have to be yours.

A "degrees of car guy" scale would fun!

Let' have some fun here. I'll start.

You might be a "car guy" if:

- you have more and better towels in the garage than in the bathroom.
- the opportunity cost of every none-car related purchased is calculated in car parts.

I can do that too, lol. My friends are like WTF?

I caught myself yesterday instantly spotting a '93 Z28 in a junkyard as we started to examine the windshield. I couldnt help but notice the window switches and whatnot right off.

Buickman, stop it.

Don't forget that he was the champion of the SSR. Trusted Ronny Z, Smith and Kip on the A&S Cadillacs. And of course he understood the talents of Lutz to bring him on.

Are you a "car guy"? Just curious of your definition.

Buickman = Troll

Get off the soapbox dude. The members of this board do NOT support you. Deal with it.
