Your wife has baby #1, you buy her a new ring as a birthing gift, you buy yourself a little 63 vette.
Your wife has baby #2, you buy her a new matching ring as a birthing gift, you buy yourself a matching 69 camaro.

Sounds like us with a 68 GTO and a 67 911S
With baby #2 I also upgraded to a SUV. Needed more room! :)

I have suspected for some time now that the little woman has been cheating. The usual signs; phone rings, if I answer the caller hangs up, going out with the girls a lot. I try to Stay awake to look out for her when she comes home but I usually fall asleep. Anyway last night about midnight, I hid in the garage behind my car, when she came home she got out of someone's car buttoning her blouse, then she took her panties out of her purse and slipped them on ..... It was at that moment while crouched behind the Camaro... I noticed that the car was leaning to one side ..........Do you think I need new springs?
Yes I am a car addict

INTOCARSS.....that is just not right! First check your front springs to be sure they're seated correctly....Just kidding!
Hey, how about when you almost got to name your first born Mallory but your friends mention that is cool since it is also a famous ignition company in front of your wife? I almost got away with it too.

You buy a gargage that happens to have a house attached to it
You won't spend over $30.00 on shoes/clothes But you'll spend an extra $20.00 on a black AN fitting that you can't even see once installed
You have a wet bar and cable TV in your garage
You run VP fuel in your lawn mower just for the smell
Your lawn mowers' head is ported and polished

1. The garage bar has satellite! I was running a phone line, what's one more wire.
2. I don't know who told you but the mower engine was apart anyways! It is a riding mower, it would have been wrong not to.

When your teenage daughters bribe you with " If you let me spend the night at so and so's you'll have time to work on your car "
When your daily driver is a peace of Shat so you can pour money into your toy.

You look at your wife and say, "I have a car problem..."
"I need a bigger garage."
She laughs and says, "yup...you sure do!"
Oh wait-that's you know you have an awesome wife when...

When you refuse to die from cancer just to finish your car !
The first thing most people ask you when you meet is "how is your car"
A real reunion is when all the cars get together and you get to meet new friends.
When a car isn't completely good enough until you put parts from a faster car on it !!!
If you don't rub your car as much as your woman, your not a real car guy.

Mine - when the ratio of nice clothes suddenly changes and you have more clothes that are oil ( or any other automotive fluid ) stained than clothes that your wife will be seen with you in.
I used to have lots of cool t shirts a bunch of jeans that were presentable and all sorts of sneakers, now I have a lot of rags, " car clothes" an 2 pairs of jeans that my wife will be seen with me while i'm wearing them.

and I'll add that you also know when...... you're at work and you stain a perfectly fine shirt or pants with oil or cutting fluid and you're not even phased, you just think "oh that's ok I guess I just have another 'garage shirt' ".
