An enthusi-ass will speak condescendingly to researchers with more experience than them (In my own research I believe I have solved world hunger. Note: this is often said during the first few months of data collection).

An enthusi-ass will tweet about how they need to let their brains rest after having it blown, including the tag of the teacher (implying they have fully and completely understood complex subjects where others struggle).

Car Enthusiast

An individual that loves anything to do with cars and their counterparts, one who can talk for hours about cars and not get tired of it. These people do not hate on others for their vehicle choice and modifications (so called "rice" is irrelevant, that is total shit) but simply encourage creativity and learning. These people are in a somewhat small but lively community worldwide which engages in car meets, TV shows, blogs, forums, games, magazines, etc. Some enjoy just talking about their rides and others like to get their hands greasy. There are those who put time and money into a project car that brings pride to themselves and a beautiful sight and sound for others. Some enthusiasts will form their own cliques such as drifters or those at the drag strip. There are the young teenagers who have less resources but can manage to build up a nice ride and learn from the best. Some enthusiasts prefer American muscle over imports and vice-versa. Some of us bump our music cruisin' down the road. We can look at any car and say anything about it: where it's from, it's drivetrain, it's value. For some it is all about that great rear-wheel drive. Sometimes we just want to get in our car and drive a hundred or so miles to think over things and enjoy the car for what it does, what it's capable of in your hands as a driver. Car enthusiasts will always be where the cars are, sharing our love of the automobile for what a car is, art.
"That's a beauty you have there, (insert car here)s are fucking awesome. Let's ride."

ghetto-enthusiasm 

strong excitement or feeling about something not typically exemplified by someone that is considered "ghetto". often verbalized using vulgar slang in a positive fashion towards something to which it would normally not be directed.
At the National Zoo one day, I heard someone behind me shout, "Yo! It's a mo'fuckin' giraffe!". He certainly had his share of ghetto-enthusiasm about that animal.
More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
