... you might be a HAMBer.

You might be a Hamber....

If you think a low carb diet is only running 4 strombergs instead of 6 on your mill.

 

that shit is funny I fell asleep under my international 2 nights in a row!

the old man across the street wakes up at 2:30 and sits outside, both nights I came crawling out a like 5:00, waved, went inside and went to sleep

 

If you ever bought half a model A, because you or a buddy had the other half.

 

If you con your way onto a TV talkshow just to oogle Tyra's boobies and spread the gospel.

 

If your kids( 9 and 11 year old GIRLS) would rather spend all there free time in the garage ,not with you but with the car that they have helped build.

 

Ha! My wife just told me yesterday," get some of them cars outa the back yard"

 

you might be a Hamber if.........

you keep car parts in the bedroom

your entire house is a collection of Hot Rod memorbilia

you go in the garage and stare at your car for hours

you dream about whats the next project


you keep the page to this site open all day


you love the smell of exhaust fumes

 

If your right arm has funny little white battle scars from your knuckles half way up to your elbow.

 

Man now that is funny. Now I am laughing at my self. Never had half a camaro in my yard, but yu betcha i have half of a Model A back there. You know; like the man said ,just in case you find another half to bring some old iron back to life. LONG LIVE THE H.A.M.B

 

you can't fall sleep until you have designed your perfect car (for that day) in your head.

 

or you might be a Hamber if your whole house is filled with...........

 

Super glue...instent stitches

 

. . . if "eau de exhaust" is the name of your cologne . . .

. . . if you always pull over to help someone with an old car in need . . .

. . . if it looks old and mechanical, you just have to have it . . .

. . . if old riveted aluminum panels give you goosebumps . . .
​

 

If you have a $1,000 worth of speed equipt. on the kitchen table and it belongs to your wife.
If your sons middle name is Rusty
If your dog is named Roth
If your wife has panties that say "Boyd Who?" across the back
If every memeber of the family knows what a dwell meter is and how to use it
If you just had knee surgery the day before and drag your ass over to the computer so you won't miss something on the HAMB.

 

This is the funniest post I've read on here yet...

...if you are printing out this thread for the wife to read.

...if you wish March would get over so you could flip the calendar and not have to look at the goofy "Pro-Street" 1967 Cutlass picture anymore

...if the guys at work come into your "area" at lunch and on breaks 'cause you got the best magazines

...if 75% of the cellphone conversations you log have to do with cars, parts, HAMBers, relays, or with the wife to see if she's off during the next BIG EVENT

...if you know who "Krass & Bernie" are

...if "Krass & Bernie" inspired you as a kid

...if the favorite channel list on your cable box include SPEED TV, HISTORY CHANNEL, "Pinks", "Chop/Cut/Rebuild", and TNT's "Powerblock" (all damn Saturday morning.

...if you've sat here and read this entire post, laughed intermittently and thought to yourself on more than 10 occasions... OMG, that's me!

...if you've spent more than one restless night figuring out what businees you could start that involved HAMBers, hot rods, beer and boobies... and how to make a living out of it

 

...if you proudly wear a badge that says; "Seeker of Vintage Tin"
... if you call an adjustable wrench a "Several Sixteeths"
.... if you think primer is a finish coat.
..... if you think Prowler is better named the Hodge Podge Dodge.
...... if you think a guy who has lots of money and knows nothing cars is a called a Mercedes owner

 

If your home IS your garage....
~ Paul
aka "Tha Driver"

You braggin' or complainin'?

 

if you wake up on a Sat morning and need a car fix and drive to Monticello Ia to see a small local show , ans live 1 HOUR NORTH of Minneapolis Mn.
or if your house is 1140 square feet ( including 3 beedrooms and the Rec room and your two shops total 3000 square feet.

 

... if you quit talking to strangers, because they invariably either a) ask "are you going to fix that car up", or b) tell you "you should really restore that old car."

You'd have hit me where I live, if not for the 'lots of money' part...

 

if there are grease stains on your computer keyboard.


And.....there is a pretty good chance that if you live in Austin, TX you are a HAMBer. Seems like everyone fuckin lives there!

.if the favorite channel list on your cable box include SPEED TV, HISTORY CHANNEL, "Pinks", "Chop/Cut/Rebuild", and TNT's "Powerblock" (all damn Saturday morning.There are more channels than this?

 

......if you read this entire thread(great stuff)!

 

If you have billed time to a construction project that was actually spent looking at the HAMB...

If you can drive through a neighborhood and know exactly where all the cool cars are and who owns them...

 

guilty as hell. . .
altho Mrs. Fiddy made me leave my laptop and wireless card at home when i went to the hospital to have my spinal operation done

 

....on Saturday night you get a Power Ball ticket, a six-pack, a pizza and case of Brake Cleaner, but not in that order.

 

If you'll mill up cool parts on your home Bridgeport machine for beer.

 

Right on Gander!!!!........... or, a badge that says; "I mill on the first date."

 

I think I'll make a t-shirt up that says that. lol

 

If you need to do something to your car that you can't do yourself (I know, it doesn't happen very often) the first place you look is in the HAMB O'DEX....

 

...If you have two full (at one time) bathrooms in your house, each torn apart, one for the "usual uses" downstairs, and one for "showering only" upstairs, yet you spend your free time and money on your project car.

...If you stop subscribing to Car Craft, because they fight all the time about it being "Camaro Craft", or "Mustang Craft" and you subscribe to Custom Rodder instead.

...If you read on the HAMB that "Best Damn Garage in Town" is a must read, order it, and become immediately engrossed...never mind the other 3 books you bought in the last 3 years and never read.

...If you get outraged at the price the credit card company charged for a late payment, but have no problem dropping the same amount on nuts & bolts at the local hardware store.

...If you are more concerened about how your "project" will run, than how your "daily driver" runs.

...If you sit down at the local slider joint for a burger with your HAMBer friend, who answers his ringing cell phone wondering who it is, starts talking about '50 chevy front end parts, gets off the phone and says: "That's what I get for leaving my business card at Autorama."

...If one of your local friends goes by the name "Dirty-T" and drives a "Space Herpie" that leaks oil in front of your house...
