I believe that a car guy is anyone who is passionate about cars who knows at least the basics.
I also believe there are different types and different levels of car guy.
Lets take me for example, I’m very knowledgeable about the subject, work in the trade, own 3 trucks and have a decent amount of experience.
However, I tend to be the most passionate about the old stuff. I am a classic car and truck enthusiast whilst being and all around car guy.It’s just when I sit in the seat of an old car or truck, I get more of a “feeling”
Even my young brother went crazy about my 55′ Chevy truck. He took pictures and sent them to all his friends he loved it so much.
When anyone can get that excited about any vehicle, they have some car guy in them.
Chevyman21 put it well, too me its you like cars, and at least know the difference between the engine and the steering wheel.
I’d say that all you need is just a general interest in cars. I’ve met people who work in the industry who absolutely despise cars and I’ve met people who love them and have picked up a wrench in their life. Which was the bigger car guy? I suppose the best answer is the same as it is with most self imposed titles; do you feel like you are one? Do you feel like you’re a car guy? If you do, then yes you are one. If you don’t, then you’re not.
Just my two cents.
