You know you're a car enthusiast when...

...you ask for an OBDII reader for christmas (I'm guilty of this)

...you get more excited about the engine than the actual car its in.

Wouldn't that mean you're an engine enthusiast?

Or you're a check engine light enthusiast?

I've been pretty good about actually using parts I buy, but do have an Exedy S1 clutch that's just sitting there.

Lol. I have a recently divorced friend who rebuilds porsche engines for resale.

Somehow, he has managed to move the crane, engine, tools, ect. all into his living room so he can watch TV will working on it.

THAT is a good centerpiece for a room
