to the point of unhealthiness by the love of automobiles.
Auto = car
Psycho = disconnected from reality aka abnormal state of mind

Some antics include:
a) getting out of his car
in the middle of a live lane on the Hwy 401 to dry his soaked intake filter after his car stalled.
b) obsessively washing his car on a weekly basis. Almost daily in winter due to road salt.
c) has given a name to his car,
frequently refers to it by name, and has the
license plate changed to her name.
