If you've ever replaced a mechanical fuel pump or ignition module by the roadside, on your way to work, or a water pump in your driveway during a snowstorm (twice!), you might be a car guy...  If you can gap a set of ignition points by eye, and the car starts and runs within 2* of spec, you might be a car guy. If you've ever fixed a friend's car at some ungodly hour, because gremlins never sleep, you might be a car guy.

If you spent more on your car for Christmas than your brothers/sisters/significant others COMBINED, ya might be a car guy/gal.
If your excuse for doing a top-swap was "well the head gaskets ARE 8 years old..." you might be a car guy/gal.
If you feel safer driving in snow than on pavement, you might be from Wisconsin.
... wait?

Tbat, one of those reminds me of myself. I have been able to identify alot of cars now just by hearing them start up. The first noise of exhaust and ignition going on, I guess and usually get it right! That means I am a car guy.
