You know what the problem is with being a true gear head? The kind of person who has motor oil running through their veins? That when you cut yourself you make a mess that even bleach cannot clean up. No, no, in all seriousness it is that you are cooped up in a job that is not race car driver.

It does not matter if you are lucky enough to follow your passion and be a mechanic even, time spent away from working on and racing your ride is time wasted. But thankfully, there is something that you can do in that wasted time, that at least keeps you close to your passion, even if it does not directly allow you to hit the gas. And that is indulging in some hilarious car memes that we have collected specifically to soothe the gear head brain. So engage your transmission, and start your engines

Well, by the looks of it, you had to have quite a lot of fun to get to the point where your wheels look like that. Sure, the fun is over, and now you have a big bill to pay, but hey, you had fun. Isn’t that the point of all of this? To have fun?
