I am hereby nominating this guy for the first ever GPnet Cape and Cowl Award. This guy is never at a loss for a link to info or a how-to page...now we find that he is cruising the streets armed with his utility belt that is loaded with sockets and wrenches...I'll bet you looked like a superhero when you showed up in snowstorm!

I am not worthy thumbsup

If you have ever put on your leather jacket and blasted the heat wide open so you could still ride with the window down...you might just be a car guy cool

If you look forward to getting Christmas over with so tax refund time will arrive sooner cuz thats when you get to really shop for the fun stuff...you might just be a car guy angel

If you buy parts to mod your wifes/girlfriends car just because you cant decide what to do to your own ride next...you might be a car guy crazy

If you browse for unknown amounts of time thru the performance parts section, staring and drooling over chrome and billet aluminum, even when it doesnt fit your car...you are without a doubt, a car guy! thumbsup

You drive four hours to go to mod day.

You know more GPs in Houston than you do in your podunk town in Central Texas.

And, finally, a couple of acronyms.

If you take two weeks off from work, drive 19 hours each way to hang out with other car nuts, hunt down local rock quarries, drive around a real race track, let other people drive your car while you drive theirs, listen to crazy loud exhaust systems, make friends you'll never forget and then collapse for two days after getting back home while trying to process more pictures than you have ever shot at any car show....

you might just be a member of grandprix.net hammer kingtut
