@hash, tnx for remembering and showing interest in my nick. Well like all friends here I like to know about wheels and what goes inside them, that is why it is auto-phile. It comes from audopphile (A person having an ardent interest in stereo or high-fidelity sound reproduction) that is my other passion. A Bose music system is on top of my whish list.
But amazingly dictionary says the following:
Main Entry: autophile
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: one who loves themselves
Etymology: auto `self, one's own'
Source: Webster's New Millennium™ Dictionary of English, Preview Edition (v 0.9.6)
Amazing, amazing isn't it everyone loves him/herself
