How about a "5",,,kaint finish what you start? You know,get bored move on,,lol. I'm a "2",,use to be a "1" but matured some. I have fixed or learned how to fix everything myself so far.
In college one of my fraternity brothers christened me with the nickname "Pistonhead" cause I was always messing with my car. That name has stuck with me for many years. Thing that's interesting is that my wife who I met while in college had the initials CAM. We've been together for 37 years. Guess it was meant to be.
1. I have a bunch of HiPo Engines 500+ hp All vintage Ford 2. I rebuild & build all my own stuff over 35 years 3. I have a warehouse full of classic's & vintage trucks. 4. I am obsessive compulsive & buy with out regard. I guess I am
Absolutely Retrograde Gear Head. It doesn't even have to be a car, truck or motorcycle, as long as it's an interesting machine. Any more ARGHs out there?
Motorhead: Cars, motorcycles, snowmobiles, go-karts, lawn mowers, leaf blowers, etc. Tinkerer: DIY everything I can from vacuum cleaners, dishwashers, garage door openers, kid's toys, computers, etc. Friends call me McGuyver
I guess I am a metal surgeon, resurrector of dead automobiles and dumb for not putting time and money into something that could make me more money. Oh hell, I am a motor head and love every minute of it!
Low and Slow in a 50's style Kustom driving the back roads on a nice day listening to Oldies Rock N Roll. I'm well past my fast age!!!
Used to have a 1500cc diesel Citroen AX that did 72mpg, which was great but the build quality was apalling! Still it was very lightweight and quite nippy.
Definetly a motorhead, I will work on any thing from hot rods to lowriders from mini bikes to hopped up lawnmowers.
#2 mostly, but also a little of what some of the other guys have added, like #4. I don't need fast anymore, I just want it to sound and look like it could go fast.
I am all of the above, so I guess I would say I'm an "automotive enthusiast". I like all things auto, all brands, all years and all manifistations. I got it real bad.... I also like motorcyles, tractors, four wheel drives, boats, go-karts, RC cars, etc. If it's got wheels and moves, I'm interested.
My thought too, although here I am agreeing with someone named Evil, Wicked, mean and nasty. Three pages of responses to a dumb thread.
A) you could have the most beautiful car in the world, but if it doesn't perform, than it looses my interest. I wanna go fast and I don't care how it looks. Function is beauty in my eyes.
Ha, ha! That is funny. But hey, at least this post is related to hot rods and not like say.....a post about clothes....*sorry Ryan*..
My Dad always called me a pain in the ass!. I am a confirmed hot rodder! My pretty kustom has a 475hp waiting for it. ad it is supposed to be the tame car
Guess I would be an enthusiast.I like cars weather they run or not;don't even have to be complete,can be a junk body or just parts.I just like to look at stuff.I have finally found out that I don't have to own them to enjoy them.
#2 with #1 on the side. If it has an engine I love to tinker with it, but I've loved drag racing since my first trip down San Gabriel in '62 and we are hoping for our return to the track this year in our HA/GR project.
