-You Cringe when the passenger goes to shut the door, because you KNOW they are going to slam it.

-You have to dry your car twice, because after the first time, you open the hatch and the rear quarters get soaked again.

-You dont rotate your tires, You just move the fronts to the rears and buy 2 new ones for the front.

-You create curse words for GM because of the way they engineer stuff, but you wouldnt buy anything else... EVER!

When you go into a Shopping Center you park in the farthest corner from the door, and gather shopping carts on the way in, and put them in the cart corral. You do this so you won't find them against your car when you come back out.

I got a huge kick out of it (mainly because I am largely guilty of just about all of these) and I think most of you will also

1) It takes you 8 hrs to change the spark plugs nope

2) You have to worry about breaking your rear end with even stock power yep

3) When you have to buy tires every year nope

4) Driving on the on ramp to the highway means wide open throttle
ohyeah. yep

5) When you go under an overpass or through a tunnel you downshift into first and got full throttle because it sounds like an indycar pop it in neutral

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 so you're not heard at home....
^ive done that, 2 1/2 blocks isnt far enough away! haha yep

7) You find yourself listening to the exhaust instead of the tunes yep

8) You can spot another fbody or vette from a half mile by the daytime lights yep

9) When you take more pics of your car than anything else. lol

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" nope
everytime

11) When you cruise thru the mall parking lots just to see how many car alarms you can set off nah


12) When you refuse to put on a front liscense plate cuz you gotta see that front bowtie nope

13) When you meet total strangers that have the same intrest and act like old friends from high school.. yep

14) Mullet is your hairstyle of choice nope

15) When you are always looking for more traction yep

16) When old people shake their fist at you. yep

17) When old guys give you a thumbs up yep

18) When you have to drive at an angle driving on to/up steep driveways and roads yep

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 lol yep

20) You completely disregard fuel economy and just drive for the hell of it yep

21) When you're waiting for your check to clear just so you can add another mod yep

22) When you tell people not to lean on your car yep

23) When you dont mind people staring at your car yep

24) You drive passed an alll glass building and just look at your cars reflection yep

25) When you take the long way to a store just so you can have as much driving time as possible nope

26) If someone says "strange", you dont think about it being wierd. you think rear ends nope

27. Your always trying to find out what that "tick" is
no. theres not ticks in my car umm

28. Your homepage is Ls1tech -StoleIt nope

29. Instead of trying to beat the redlight, you hope it stops you so u can race from the dig YESS

30. When a conversation starter becomes "So what have you done to her?" yep

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.nope

-You can make a conversation peice about how many times you've changed your window motor.

-Your heart skips a beat after filling up the tank.

-You see 2 slow cars racing and you join the race just to see the look on their face as you pass them from 5 cars behind. (Did that to 2 jettas yesterday)

Here's a couple more:

You only put half a tank in on Saturday night because you don't need the extra 'race weight'

You drive a 'normal' car and you think there is something wrong because it barely moves at 50% throttle

...just a couple of things that I realized today that is odd and I am guilty of...

When you can take your door panel off with your eyes closed

If the intake is the first thing you look at when you pop the hood of another f-body.

If someone says B4C or 1LE and you know EXACTLY what they are talking about

My Dad has beat this into my head since I learned to walk and the same for me with my daughter! My wife looked at me like she couldnt believe there was someone else that was as **** as me about SLAMMING THE GOD DAMN DOOR! As a matter of fact yesterday I got out of the car and yelled at a teacher at her school for slamming the door.
