I was pondering this topic and came up with a few in no particular order. Please add your favorites.
1) You cut your fingernails when they break - and they're never too long.
2) (related to 1) You've attended a wedding, funeral, or other formal occasion with gunk you can't dig out from under your nails or stains that won't come off your cuticles.
3) You have 2 wardrobes, "shop clothes" and "clean clothes" (though the shop clothes may be freshly laundered - or not....).
4) All of your T-shirts say something automotive (mine are BangShift, ECTA or GTA, etc.) You don't own a plain T-shirt.
5) Non-car person friends know that any discussion with you will end up as a car discussion. They tend not to talk to you freeing more time to talk cars with the car person at the table.
6) You have a "shop" not a "garage". Remember, wives often think a garage is someplace you park a car.
7) You can't understand why car makers are working on self-driving cars nor why people want "transportation modules" instead of a driver's car.
8) Your long-suffering wife has resigned herself to living with it. I'm lucky that way.
9) Tool purchases are an "investment" and are among your favorite things.
10) You own, or know someone who owns (or wish you knew somebody) with a roll bar bender, Bridgeport, metal lathe, TIG welder, etc.
10 to get you started.....
