      The car payments cost more than the mortgage every month...

      No, I live in a fly-over state.. where common folk can afford to buy land instead of renting it.

      Am I the only one that's a car nut here? It's taking over my life here.. I've done lost all control.. I may need professional help..

      Anyone else this obsessed? Why?

      I'm car crazy because.... I'm working one 40hr/week job to pay bills and one 50hr/week job to save up for my ride... then instead of sleeping all I can do is think about what I'm going to do to the car....

      I too work on cars during the week for a living, and am crazy enough to work on them on the weekend for fun.

      It's funny, because some buddies of mine were giving me crap about my outdated, 4-5 year old cell phone. I told them it still works great, and one of them said "this guy has $100k in cars but has a $5 phone". Funny, but true.

      I am car crazy because... erm... Hell, I dunno. All I know is that I am! I can't leave anything well enough alone. So far, I have thought of dropping a supercharged V-6 in my wife's Miata, cool wheels and such on my stationwagon, etc, etc... Oh, not to mention finishing my 442!

      because all I do is go something to do with cars. I eat sleep and live cars. No matter what car i get i always want another. There is nothing better than a fast car or a nice truck.

      Because I've got 5 parked in the yard, 2 in front of the house, 1 in the garage, 1 in my sisters garage, 1 in storage and am still looking for the next one.

      Because I have more parts in my home than on the car.....

      Because I have gone to sleep thinking out a problem and woke up with the answer......

      Because I have ended a relationship and used the car as an excuse.... ( not sure if that one qualifies )
