Your Dad took you for a spin around the Kew boulevard when you were a kid as a treat for being in and out of hospital. You loved it when he made the car "get air" on the way to swimming lessons.

Every room in your house has something car related in it.

You thought of naming your kids "Cam", "Con", "Rod", "Carroll", "Shelby", "Elise" or "Brock".

When your work has screwed you and your Mrs over again, probably soon to result in you quitting. You're talking to the Mrs about what you're going to do, and the conversation turns to cars for a bit. Was her saying how she prefers driving manuals over autos! I'll definitely keep her over my job!

When you buy a microwave just for the shed because washing up and going inside to eat wastes too much time away from the cars

When your new girlfriend says she wants to spend the weekend, you give her a look and she rolls her eyes and says, "yes, I'll bring shed clothes"

When you buy a 27 litre Rolls Royce V12 and then start planning a car around it

When you drive an hour across Melbourne to pick up a girl in your car just so you can talk about it, and then end up spending half the day driving around because you still had more things to say about the car

And you know you wanna date her again because at the end of the day she says "Can you show me how to work on a car?"

When you only want to spend the date in the car - so you don't have to leave the car in some public car park so someone can steal it, key it, mark it or it would get too hot.

I got something to add to this,

When you notice people in a crowded area are looking at your car and you pretend to get something out of it just so people know it's your car.
