5 Ways To Spot A Petrolhead In Everyday Social Situations
1. Taking the racing line everywhere
Whether it’s in the office, at school or the supermarket, petrolheads will never meander. The racing line will be adhered to at all times.
2. Drifting supermarket trolleys
Speaking of supermarkets, you can always spot petrolheads because trolleys are the best drift weapons this side of a Nissan S-chassis, and no self-respecting car nut could resist kicking the back out on one of these beasts.
3. Comparing the stats on everything
People who like cars are often obsessed with stats, and more importantly comparing stats to find a winner. Find yourself in a group of strangers at a party, and the petrolhead is probably the guy who’s comparing the figures on two inanimate objects…
4. Braking from the passenger seat
Petrolheads hate it when other people drive. If you’re in the car with someone who’s going through the motions - mainly braking in quiet terror - they’re probably serious about driving.
5. Everything is a shifter
No matter what it is, even if it’s not shifter-shaped. If it’s by your side, it can become a shifter for the bored. Spot someone grabbing a television remote and absent-mindedly smashing through the gears, and you’ve found your secret petrolhead.

My parents and friends get made when were in the car and I make the noise of the car with my mouth the same time the car is
I kinda caught myself drifting shopping carts..
#4 is soooo me
Everything but #3 for me…
I do #1 in my wheelchair everyday
Don’t forget the part when a decent sounding engine drives by the person immediately looks for it lol that’s me
I racing line through school all the time lol! And I shift umbrellas and faucet knobs.
I even do wheelies on a supermarket trolley if I’m bored with drifting it. The way for me to know which Arnis stick is mine when it’s mixed with the ones of my classmates is that it has a stick shift pattern. I also use my model airplanes as a shifter like a lot of times.
Always “ Taking the racing line everywhere “
