Top 10 ways to tell it is getting out of hand. (how bad are you?)
1. Your girlfriend or wife has jealous issues with your car.
2. A search of your bathroom closet reveals one playboy and 7,348,000 car magazines.
3. The kitchen cabinets contain: a Holley 4150, a pair of wire cutters, three Hot Wheels, a hand written list of ways to lighten your F-body, a Moroso sticker, and a rat fink keychain.
4. Your screen saver is a picture of your car.
5. you carry wallet size pictures of your car doing a burnout.
6. you own at least 4 albums filled with pictures of cars from years passed, including step-by-steps of a rear-end swap.
7. You shave before a race fro two reasons: less weight, and lower drag co-efficient.
8. The room goes silent when you show your friends your genuine used top fuel piston.
9. You actually have an amusing story to tell about your block being honed.
10. You tell your girlfriend to get out while you race the Mustang next to you, (hey, it's a tenth!)
11. The cable TV has been shut off, but the new aluminum water pump is on.
OK, so it is really 11, the sad thing is I am really guilty of a lot of these. Since this list was a generic thing that some friends and I came up with a long time ago, I will show you how it breaks down for me. How do you rank?
!. this is the one I can't say for me. My wife is very supportive of my addiction, in fact she loves it and has a project/toy of her own and wants more, (her list is just as big as mine)
2. I bought one **** mag when I turned 18 along with a pack of cigarettes. Both are still sealed in their packages. I do have all of the magazines from all 9 car magazines I have been subscribed to for the last 12 years or so. Plus many odds and ends I've picked up in stores.
3. Since getting married and buying a house, I also aquired a shop so my car stuff stays there most of the time. When we wrote this years ago, my appartments were always filled with car parts, projects, car parphenelia, and tools.
4. Nope, just the generic ones that came with windows
5. Yes, smokey doughnuts actually (that picture has come up missing! time to go make another, damn)
6. There is not enough space in this forum to explain how I am with all of this. I just say there is WAY more than 4 albums.
7. If I thought it would work, I would. You should see the piles of car pieces I have left in the pits while I raced
8. yup, and a used Hoosier too!
9. oh yeah, the machine fell apart!
10. would be hard to convince her to get out, she likes to egg me on too much. But I have kicked old girlfriends out before.
11. Haven't had TV since I moved out of my parents house ten years ago. I knew exactly where that money would go.

If your girl has jealousy issues with your car/car hobby, then your car hobby isn't what's out of hand!
