Things that define a car enthusiast?
What are common traits for a car enthusiasts? How can you tell the difference between the guy who buys the Jaguar for the looks/status and the one who doesn't?

They spend most of their time looking at their car, not at other people looking at their car...

True car enthusiast use cars a form of community and not as a form of separation. Like, a true car guy won't knock someone because they drive a wack car, or suck someone off cuz they drive a GTR. A true car enthusiast welcomes everyone and their opinions.

A car enthusiast smiles when he (she) walks out of a store and sees his car sitting there waiting. The car means more than just a way to get from Point A to Point B. It's a way to enjoy getting from Point A to Point B.

A true car guy places the needs and desires of his car before himself. Work harder so there's more money for parts or a new acquisition. Won't buy normal needed items for himself because the car needs something. Will spend hours away from friends and family because the "project" needs to get done. Always sees the potential of a car that others would call junk. Has parts stored in some room of the house(not garage) just waiting for installation. Knows the history behind why his car is special. Can speak engine and option numbers fluently. Loves every great car and can appreciate style even if not his taste. Has an internal NEED to own another car, even though 1 is all you can drive.

An old saying that goes something like, "if you don't look back at your car when walking away, you've bought the wrong car".
Rod bearings are near the tie rods?!?! Lol that guy -,-

That car was a serious love/hate relationship. When it was running right, it was the best car I've ever owned. But damn, that thing would break down every other month like clockwork. It was always something. Still, I loved driving it.
