Default You know you own one...

I know that theres a ton of other threads about this but i couldnt help but make a new one after this. We all have a story that made us realize we own an fbody. Although ive already had a couple today was the confirmation! On the way to work today i saw a new police speed scanner (your speed things) being set up on the opposite side of the road. As soon as i saw it i couldnt wait to get off work so i could make it blink those pretty red numbers at me haha. So you know you own an fbody when seeing a police scanner makes you excited to max it out! Lets hear any other good ones

Wait, you are NOT supposed to see how high a number you can get?

Me and the dog hit 22 mph on the one in my neighborhood. Trying this in my car would earn me a trip to jail where I live, unfortunately.

Those signs are worthless - they don't read triple digits. ;-(

My personal favorite that applies to me is... you know your a car guy... when you look at the clock and instead of seeing a time of day all you see is bore and stroke combinations.
