Smooth Wolf - I haven't a clue what the American version is of a Petrol Head 🤣

DeepEmbrace(dom female) - Usually I just hear people call themselves a "car enthusiast," "admirer," "car collector," "tinkerer," "DIY mechanic," "gear head," "[track or rally or drag] racer." In my circles, it is more about what exactly you like about cars, what cars you like, and/or what you do with cars that impacts what you call yourself.
