Are you "Car Crazy?"

I just read through my subscription to Meguiar's on-line magazine. Barry Meguiar is the original Car Crazy guy and gave 14 ways to show if you are a certifiable Car Crazy person. I might note that Legendary Collector Cars author also noted Barry's comments in his last article. So, to be a day late and a dollar short, I am adding this information to Mike's Show-N-Shine. My thanks to Barry for the great list.

Are you really Car Crazy? Take this test to find out. I say 8 or more qualifies you. I had 10.


Top 14 Reasons you might be Car Crazy

1 ) You’ve started looking for sponsors for your daily commute.

2 ) You roll down your windows, put your car into neutral and rev it up when going under an overpass.

3 ) You have more pictures of your car than of your significant other.

4 ) Your refer to your car by name.

5 ) You never throw away car magazine, EVER.

6 ) Your email address refers to your car rather than to you.

7 )You think that “Gentlemen, start your engines” is the end of the National Anthem.

8 ) You refer to the corner at the end of your street as ‘Turn One”.

9 ) You would choose a roll bar over air conditioning if it were an option.

10 ) You consider the redline a “conservative suggestion” and the rev limiter “a fun limiter”.

11 ) When someone asks where you went to school, you reply, “Skip Barber”.

12 ) You own five cars and only one is street legal.

13 ) You turn the radio off to listen to the music of your engine.

14 ) Your double date includes your buddy — their car, you and your car.
