....if your wife tells you "is that the only web site that you know?" and then tells you to get of because you spend too much time on there, (while she's sitting there reading a book!) what am I gonna do, watch you read? haha.
You might be a hamber if you...schedule your wedding anniversary in a certain town (santa maria,ca),around the same time the west coast customs show comes around in ...santa maria,and tell her you are going there for the romantic counryside views and wine tasting!
Krackerjack, darn it 8 pages later and that is what I was thinking the whole time was missing! 1) You go to the parts store and the kid starts out with "what year and make is it?" 2) And you tell him to see how far he goes in figuring out a 26 T doesn't have a electric fuel pump. 3) You know how fast you are going off of engine noise. Actually that is all you have to tell how fast you are going. 4) When it rains, the color of your ride changes over the next couple days. 5) Just about any make and model part/piece prior to 65 can be substituted, modified or fit onto your ride. 6) Your electrical system consists of a battery cable to the starter, pwr to a starter switch solenoid (because you are tired of shorting out your screw drivers), and pwr to the coil. 7) You never use turn signals because they don't work and your arm is out the window already. 8) To go 120 miles you need to stop for gas 3 times to top off that small tank jammed in an inaccessible corner of the frame. 9) When people ask "What year is that?" you try to be creative and tell them something totally off to see if they even have the capacity to understand 30 years of car evolution.
Hey, I live north of 195, I think that qualifies me! But to correct, '57 Caddy hubcaps on the wall, lol.
.... If you ever painted your lawntractor and "metalflaked" it by putting a fan in front of it and threw glitter through it...[/quote] coffee spitin shit here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!although i did try some flat black "flaked" wood stove black rattle can spray paint on Lil Beast's frame
Or 3 before lunch on more that one occasion. Or 100 fix it tickets in the same car Or use the dish washer (yes the one in the kitchen) to clean parts when your wife is out with friends and you stayed home to spend some time with your car.
..You wouldn't think of gettin' a transport company to bring your project home (no matter how far it is). Gotta go get it yer self. ..Would drive 300 miles to take yer radiator to the shop because it's faster than shippin' it. ...(I don't have a problem with PBR (better'n Samuel Adams, Blatz or Falstaff), Foxworthy or Ebay. Does that dis-qualify me)?
I was wondering where those got to! If you understand the terms "GMB" and "Snugglers", you might be a HAMBer. If you search for the "Fonz" pics in KIRK!'s event coverage, you might be a HAMBer.
Your backyard is known as Redneck wonderland, Your welder/toolbox/ is worth more than your daily driver You have a car fund $$ hidden from the wife for those must have items... The refrigerator in your garage filled with beer is larger than the one in the house.. You know you have a problem but building cars is cheeper than therapy.
If your wife has to put off getting that new washer and dryer cause you found a cherry '50 sedan delivery that you just couldn't pass up! P.S. I'm getting pretty good at doing laundry
If the first picture you hung in your house was of "Pure Hell" If your reading this and know what "Pure Hell" is! If you spend 4 days hauling 10 cars (all '53 and older) home from 200 miles away to "save them from the crusher" and don't miss any work! (Shew not much sleep that weekend!) When some one says "import" you think of a Topolino!
this is not true here on the hamb...spel a wrd wrng or miss a leter in a wrd..and some of these newbies have to show how bad ass they are..so this might be a hamber ..has to be removed..lol
If I send the IRS an extension form,`cause I`m driving in the rain 300 miles today with a bro to check out a "barn full of old cars"...does that count?
.... when explaining to your dad at Easter that you want to put a T5 in your '48 F1, and he replies it's a truck, not a hot rod!! and you agree with him. A double clutchin' fool I will be, lol. Now I just need to get a hot rod!
if you use brake parts cleaner to kill wasps trying to live in your rod....or to get grease off your hands....
Or......if your girlfriend knows whenever you got to a store you have to go to the toy aisle and check out the toy cars. ......if you've made more friends in your girlfriends parents apartment complex, because you met the only two car guys, and one of them had a 53 Chevy you recognized from a local yard.
You might be a HAMBER if you think "RAT ROD" is a derogatory term. DAMNIT, IT'S NOT A RAT ROD, IT'S JUST NOT FINISHED.
