Default You know you own an f-body when...

You know you own a f-body when...

...You lock the doors with the t-tops off.

...You CAN tell the difference between a '67 and a '68.

...You had an easier time breaking up with your girlfriend, than selling your camaro.

...You swear chevy 350 is the greatest piece of technology ever invented.

...You refer to mustangs as "rustangs".

...You rip the fuel injected "junk" out of your post-1984 f-body, and opt for the "superior" carburator.

..."Smokey and the Bandit" is your favorite movie.

...1967 was the best year of your life, and you weren't even alive.

...you hear the word "rally", you think of rims.

...Your dream car's engine is going to cost more than the car.

...You think arrowheads and bowties go together like PB and jelly.

...You consider the year 1970 1/2 a turning point in your life.

...You deny the fact the Pontiac made TURBO firebirds, but you secertly want one.

...To you, IROC is a car, not a race.

...Cobra isn't just a mustang, but an ancronym for Cars Owned By Retarded ********.

...You know that horsepower sells cars, but torque wins races. And you use that to explain why f-bodies are no longer made, but Mustangs are.

...Dodges' smell funny.

...You swear that your f-body can easily outrun a corvette, that is, once you take out your 305 and drop in a 350.

...You have to fix your "door sag" at least once a month.

...Dan's Auto Garage is on speed dial.

...You get pissed when someone calls your shaker a hood scoop.

...Your alphabet isn't A-Z, but T/A-Z28 (with IROC, SS, and RS somewhere in the middle).

...Your idea of art is a three foot tall, black and gold bird on your hood.

...To you, 'buy low, sell high' means buying a firebird or camaro before 2002, then selling it after 2002.

...You know that hump in between your backseats in your 2nd and 3rd gen.'s all too well.

...FWD makes NO sense to you.

...You know all about the cupholder trick in your 2nd gen (thats a tough one).

...Your life fell into a spril of depression, drugs, and drunkeness after the Camaro and Firebird ceased to exist in 2002.

...You think corvette owners are jealous of your "real" car.

...Your five basic food groups are Mustangs, Civics, Challengers, Eclipses, and Novas.

...You are always explaining to Dodge fans that "ram air" is not what his pickup breathes.

...You really believe that Chevrolet will bring back the Camaro in 2007.

...You do not own a third generation 4-cylinder from the 80's. No really, if you do, you do NOT belong here.

...You wonder how Pontiac can build Aztek's, but not Firebirds (Those GM exec's must NOT have a conscience).

...You are going to buy a Pontiac Solstice and put Firebird decals on it.

...You still call your 2002 Camaro, a "new" car.


Found this on MySpace, thought it was great.

Talking

When you volunteer to go to the store to get a loaf of bread and come home 3 hours, 200 miles, 400 hair-raising turns, one set of rear tires, 3 near - speeding tickets, and a wild-eyed, ear-to-ear grin later.

When you love pop-up headlights but hate replacing their motors.

When a 30 mph curve sign reminds you to back it down to "bout 75".

When you are sure that every mustang owner is a hormonally challenged, under-achieving, smug, lying, ars, that can only get girls that are too mechanically UN-inclined to know that mustangs are not only crap but a poor substitute for a Real Man.

When you can't say the word mustang without a ****-eatin' grin on your face.

When even while dreaming your sitting on asphalt.

When you have low-back pain at the age of 27.

When you wish they would re-make Smoky and the Bandit with a "new" ram-air.

When you watch any car movie and think to yourself "This movie would be awesome if they'd get rid of that P.O.S. and drive my car instead!"

When you can replace a window motor in under 8 minutes.

You know that Pontiac made the best GTA.

You know that dual cats in 1989 meant it also had a 350.

You can't stand to sit in a car with passenger space because you miss that cockpit feeling.

You hear the words "nice car" every time you fill up.

I'm really bad about doing this one. My g/f pretty much knows that if I go to the store on a nice night I wont be home for a good 2-3 hours

When you get so frustrated with your longtubes you are ready to dig a trench to install the drivers side because you don't own a lift.

...When changing spark plugs on any other car seem easy.


I can't believe nobody mentioned this one.

...When you have to grind the **** out of your brake calipers in order to get your Prostars/Draglites to fit.
