    When you can spot a old car out of the corner of your eye that's a half mile away and you know the make and model plus year.

    Use your first credit card that you got in college to get a cash advance to buy a car... you know, hypothetically. :oops:

    Get tired of working on one project, so buy another one to distract for a bit... also hypothetical... :oops:

    Honey,
    I can buy it at that price, fix it up and sell it for a profit. Ain’t it cute??
    I’ve been known in my past to borrow money to buy a car.
    But I’ve also sold cars in my past to fund my kids financial issues and to pay cash for a garage.

    When a guy calls your house, your wife answers, and is told by the caller that he is the guy selling you a car, she looks out the window at your collection, and says,...

    For today is an example...... You come in from working on a car and have several new bruises and cuts, with the bleeding possibly controlled by a piece of masking tape.

    Your mowing the lawn and hear off in the distance someone playin with something that is hot rodded.
    You bail in mid pass around the yard and track it down knowing you can help add atleast 10hp by ear.
    End up finishing lawn later in the week.

    When you know people by their car but don’t know their name.

    there’s probably 100 people in town who know me as the woody wagon guy but don’t know my actual name.

    When your wife is upset that you are looking at cars and parts and never looking at porn when she walks in the room.
