You know you drive an F-body when... I had this list saved on my comp. a while back and forgot about it.
Still get a kick out of it! Enjoy
You know you drive an F-body when...
1) It takes you 8 hrs to change the spark plugs
2) You have to worry about breaking your rear end with even stock power
3) When you have to buy tires every year
4) Driving up the on ramp to the highway means wide open throttle
5) When you go under an overpass or through a tunnel you downshift into first and go full throttle because it sounds like an indycar
6) When you're trying to sneak out the house and you have to push your car about 2 1/2 blocks away just to turn your car on so you're not heard at home....
7) You find yourself listening to the exhaust instead of the tunes
8) You can spot another f-body or vette from a half mile by the daytime running lights
9) When you take more pics of your car than anything else.
10) When you see someone you know... you drop it down into 1st, slowly roll by them, and tap the accelerator while lookin at them like "yea... you know you're impressed"
11) When you cruise thru the mall parking lots just to see how many car alarms you can set off
12) When you refuse to put on a front license plate cuz you gotta see that front bowtie
13) When you meet total strangers that have the same interest and act like old friends from high school..
14) Mullet is your hairstyle of choice
15) When you are always looking for more traction
16) When old people shake their fist at you.
17) When old guys give you a thumbs up
18) When you have to drive at an angle driving on to/up steep driveways and roads
19) When you secretly watch people in the parking lot as you start your car up... and you get a kick out of it when they turn to see what the hell that was
20) You completely disregard fuel economy and just drive for the hell of it
21) When you're waiting for your check to clear just so you can add another mod
22) When you tell people not to lean on your car
23) When you don’t mind people staring at your car
24) You drive pass an all glass building and just look at your car’s reflection
25) When you take the long way to a store just so you can have as much driving time as possible
26) If someone says "strange", you don’t think about it being weird. You think rear ends
27. Your always trying to find out what that "tick" is
no. there’s not ticks in my car
28. Your homepage is Ls1tech
29. Instead of trying to beat the red-light, you hope it turns red you so u can race from the line
30. When a conversation starter becomes "So what have you done to her?"
31. when you are coming to a dip in the road too fast, your stomach twists, and you involuntarily pick up your feet cuz you know the exhaust is about to scrape.

51 your girlfriend/ wife knows to hold on/ brace her self when you are about to make a turn or an on ramp
52 you have pulled out a decibel meter to see how loud you exhaust really is to prove to you neighbors that its atcually in the legal limits
53 you refer to you car when its on jackstands as being in its natural state
54 you can actually cruise at 1200 rpm if you want.
55 people are always trying to familiarize with you saying "I had a sports car once, or I had a muscle car once..."
but somehow they've all sold them and now own a boring family car.
57 Moms pull their children closer in parking lots when you drive by.
58 you hate driving with all the SUV's, trucks, and Minivans on the road because you can't see past them at all
59 you have received more scratches and bloody knuckles from working on your engine than anything else in your life, combined.
60 You smoke 90% of the cars while normally taking off from a stoplight.
61 You cry more when your head gaskets blow then when you lost your girlfriend.
62 As much as you may hate fixing it, you always seem to wonder around it and mumble about what you are gonna upgrade next.
63 Getting every little ricer and their momma trying to rev at you at the light and then they take off.
64 Being told you're speeding down the street when you have it in 1st and going only 10-15.
65 You can justify spending all day claying/waxing the car but can't seem to find time to fix the broken door handle to your bedroom.
66 You spend $3500 on suspension and traction parts just to have everybody tell you to do a burnout.
67 when your passenger complains of whiplash when you get on the entrance ramp to the freeway
68 you think your car is feeling slow until you give someone a ride and they practically crap their pants.
69 you swear there are no squeaks and rattles - even if it's only because the exhaust, wind/road noise, and stereo
system are too loud for you to hear them.
71 You can justify spending more on a trans and rear then the car cost
72 You understand parts letting go is part of getting faster
73 Your car gets sideways at the end of the on ramp to the freeway
74 you get lots of compliments from white trash chicks
75 your quarter panels mysteriously ding themselves up
76 your vibrating driveshaft gives your girlfriend the "Big O"
77 you have wet dreams about the LT4 Hot cam kit
78 you have to prop the armrest compartment up with a stick
79 you constantly say "yeah, but if my LT1/LS1 had a supercharger" whenever someone brings up the '03 Cobra
80 When you hit a car 12 feet away with your door when you get out
81 when you spend more time fixing your car than you do driving it
82 you drive WOT up to 135mph and then brake as hard as you can back to a stop, and your passenger is scared speechless and vows never to ride with you again
83 someone asks you why the transmission is slipping at WOT and then you tell them it's actually the wheels spinning into 2nd and 3rd gear.
84 when you see another car, you immediately look at its exhaust and its tire width.
85 You have more belts showing than tread.
86 People dribble the "invisible basketball" when you drive through residential neighborhoods. ... You know, the slow down thing ...
87 Your exhaust system is well over $500-$600 dollars
88 It never feels fast enough anymore
89 You make excuses to yourself to justify going WOT
90 you don't mind pulling up to a red light if your in the front, it's a chance to work on reaction time
91 If a passenger closes the door by pushing on the window you give them a 10 minute rant on how that will lead to rattles and NEVER TO DO THAT AGAIN...
92 you know where every speed bump within 50 miles is, and what angle you need to "attack" it from...
93 a loud ricer will make you physically sick...
94 you won't be seen near the "performance" section of the auto parts store because you know it's all neons and exhaust tips...

95. When it comes to doing a cosmetic or performance mod you 90% of the time do the performance mod.
96. For a year you leave your passenger side finder and door a different color because your trying to finish your N2O setup.
97. Your H/C an stalled f body beats a stock C6Z from a dig an you get asked "how much are you spraying?"
98. you beat other cars with your laundry in the back seat.
99. Your tuner says your car is too loud.
100. AWD cars will not give you a dig run.

Yeah, I read all these off to my girlfriend and I definitely have about 85-90% of these.
How about
101. After you've washed your car and someone opens your passenger door, you cringe when they touch the paint and get fingerprints all over it.
102. You consider about 90% of teenagers in imports "ricers" even if all they have is aftermarket wheels.
103. When you hear another cammed f-body flyby and you ALWAYS think "Yeah, but my car's louder."

LOL good read.
29. Instead of trying to beat the red-light, you hope it turns red you so u can race from the line
So true every time I get a red! Though it’s a bonus when I get to do this to the damn thugs with the loud bass tunes and vibrating rear license plates!

All of these are so true.
Few more...
104. One or both of your windows won't roll down at the sametime.
105. You've become acustomed to the gear whine that others complain about when riding with you.
106. You spent more time listening to a new rattle or noise going down the road then you do talking to your girl or listening to the radio.
107. You wish the hump on the passenger side would magically go away.
108. Anytime is a good time to test for traction.
109. Your sad when something breaks but happy that you get to upgrade.
110. It actually doesn't get as bad gas mileage as people think. But you don't care about mpg's.
111. You get the "does that thing have a 350 in it" atleast once a week.
112. Even if your car is alittle dirty you still steer away from puddles.
113. You try and park away from everyone in a parking lot and come out and your car is surrouned.
