1. He fixes your car.
This part is fabulous. Instead of going to a mechanic who is going to overcharge you, have your guy look it over. He can probably fix it — heck, he might even do it for free!
2. You have seen all the "Fast & Furious" movies.
There are literally like ten different movies — something bad happens and this group of fast-driving friends end up saving someone and the world. No one really follows the story, they just like looking at the car. Thank goodness that Paul Walker is cute.
3. You get to your destinations faster.
Most car guys have a lead foot to begin with, but if you are driving in your guys boosted vehicle...best believe you are getting there faster than the average joe.
4. You know all the specs of your guy's dream car.
A romantic night to these guys is snuggling in bed watching car videos on Youtube. I've done my fair share of this and eventually, you do learn some stuff about cars.
5. You're basically a mechanic.
You have been around for all the work that he has done on his car that you could basically do the job yourself. I've seen radiators changed, multiple car stereos put in, water-pumps, multiple compression tests, a supercharger put in, and multiple oil changes...I'm pretty much a mechanic at this point.
6. You learn new things all the time about cars.
Because you are forced to partake in the madness that is his dream car, you learn a lot of stuff, too. A couple years ago, I wouldn't have known the difference between a turbo and a supercharger. Also, did you know that some cars are illegal in the U.S. until they are 25 years old? Weird, huh?
7. You find yourself in the middle of highway races with strangers.
You guys are just minding your own business when your guy gets a devilish look in his eye, looking in the rear-view-mirror. You know what is about to happen and nothing you say can stop it. Your guy's inner speed-racer cannot be tamed.
8. You catch yourself turning your head when a nice car drives by.
With all that time spent on cars, you can appreciate a nice car when you see one.
9. You find yourself tagging your guy in car photos/memes more than you care to admit.
Somehow, a bunch of modified car pages show up on your Facebook now and you just feel the need to share them with your guy.
10. You find yourself secretly wishing you had a show-worthy car.
You see the way his eyes light up when he talks about his car with other people and you want that, too. Plus you look at so many different car photos, you know which one you want to drive around. Hey, if he can spend all that money on a car, why can't you?
11. You go to car shows more than you go out on dates.
This is kind of sad, but if he buys you food at the car show, does that count as a date?
12. They will do anything to get their car to maximum power.
Who knew car parts could be so expensive or you would have taken stock out in it?!
