You've used your headrest as a pillow to sleep on your garage floor...

[BColeman]

You've got a duplicate of every tool in your garge, in your car.

You read car magazine, fall asleep with your head in one, wake up in the middle of the night after a great dream of cars, realize your still dressed from work, go to the garage to finish reading the magazine, fall asleep again dreaming of cars, in the morning go out to your car, pat the roof, get in, start it up, grin ear to ear when you start her up, and take off like you are in one of the dreams you just had.
