You'd rather go to a car show than on a date.
You've owned an Alfa Romeo.
Your garage is covered in grimy posters of past F1 world champions.
You see photos of people trapped in their cars by floodwaters and feel sad that such a nice car will be ruined.
Your pet is named after a racing driver.
You spend sundays watching motorsport instead of the NFL playoffs.
You strive to make your life more like an episode of Top Gear.

50/50. I usually think, "what an idiot." If it's a car worth liking then yes.

Damn. Here are my contributions:

You get confused when there are only 2 pedals at your feet.
People regret commenting on your car. (Because you bore them talking about it.)
You hear people talking about 0-60 and wish they would just shut up and actually drive a car for once.
The MX5 is not a girl's car in your eyes.
You wish something was wrong so you could fix it.

You subconsciously taken the racing line when walking.....

Or

you plan overtakes when walking.....
 
When you abruptly pull off the road and dive behind cover because you saw a Toyota on the same road as you.
 
When you see a picture a car and know the name of it and you instantly shot out the name of the car and you friends have no idea what you said :D
 
The 4th one in the OP is a bit harsh but anyway when a huge match or news is on TV and you still decide to watch Top gear .

I have more but I'll post later.
 
All your friends go to you for car advice.
You can identify 99% of the cars in the street right now.

I hope not. And I too can identify almost any car I see, certainly any UK production car from the last 15 to 20 years. I technically am a car bore....

I do that on school trips, especially long coach journeys. I'll name every car that goes past and rate it out of 5. God I sound boring don't I?

I do essentially the same thing. On road trips I'm glued to the window looking for interesting cars (and calling all the yellow ones).

Or the sound of it starting.

I can easily identify a Honda starting up, or any Toyota corolla,or an E9X M3, they're all pretty characteristic and are sounds I regularly hear. I can also probably identify a V8 from V12 and an I6 from a V6 and such
 
When you drive by yourself because your friends hate driving with you as all you talk about is your car.
 
When you take racing lines around corners while riding a bicycle.

I do many of these too much
 
When you can correct your friends while they try to act cool

Listen to that Porsche

Its a Subaru you ****.
 
When recalling a memory is linked to what car you owned at the time to remember it clearer.
When your dream cars aren't necessarily supercars, but more obscure makes, just to say you had one.
When you despise new generation re-hashes of a classic.
When you start to feel sorry for a free junker project, or are parting one out.
When parking space is priority when choosing a place to live (sadly there aren't many two bay garages with a bedroom above)
When you confuse the car noobs saying Eleanor was a yellow '73 Mach 1.
When you are the master of towing and ratchet straps (though maybe that's just for being around classics :lol: )

:lol: I'm starting to get a hang of that myself aswell.

"Nice Audi A5".

That's an A6 you ****
 
When you know the cars your friends own and when they notice they think it's sort of being a stalker. I just have very good memory with cars
