Typically, a car whore is a man who is insatiable in his desire to own and experience different makes / models of high-line automobiles (e.g., vintage German and Italian marques). A car whore is often working on a limited budget and is an avid do-it-yourself mechanic (i.e., a DIY'er). This individual typically sells or otherwise changes cars over relatively short time intervals (e.g., 6 months - 18 months). When questioned about these behaviors, the car whore may justify it by likening himself to a wine connoisseur in that he is merely sampling various marques and models.
