It's hard to read but I think this is it:
  • You've ever rebuilt a transmission in your bath tub
  • You've ever bought kitty litter, but don't have a cat
  • You drive with the radio off just to enjoy the sound of your engine
  • Your garage has more square footage than your house
  • You've memorized your car's option codes and your YearOne Customer Number, but can't remember your Social Security Number
  • You have your car's VIN tattooed somewhere on your body
  • You've ever had to drag race to defend your sister's honor
  • Your emergency room doctor asks for your blood type and you reply, "10w40"
  • Your local salvage yard owner calls you whenever something "good" comes in
  • You know what citrus hand cleaner tastes like...and you like the taste
  • Your kitchen table has more grease on it than your engine

Yup - but it was a Formula Ford tranny in a local motel near the track!!! Works great! After you're thru we handed the tranny out the window in the bathroom to the guys outside and degrease the tub. Perfect.

No, but I did remove the kitchen table and assemble a 327 in it's place. Does that count?

I used to clean engine parts in the dishwasher, it works pretty well. Just be sure and clean out the dishwasher with 409 or some other degreaser to hide the evidence.
