3. Your 'significant other' is afraid to drive your car.
4. You are afraid to drive your car.
5. You spend more on tires than on food.

7. You look in a state police car and see a picture of your car taped to the dash.
8. You throw your underwear in the garbage rather than the hamper.
9. You have to go to the track to buy gas.
10. Your mechanic names the new wing of his shop after you.
11. Jacques Villeneuve and Michael Schumacher wave you by.
12. You can make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.
13. You're tempted to wear your fire suit just to drive to the office.
14. Red signal lights shift to green as you're approaching then shift back to red as you're receding.
15. You arrive somewhere before you left.
16. You get pulled over for doing 155 in a 35 but the cops will let you go if "they can look under the hood."
17. You remove the $2000 stereo system to save 6 lb. of weight.

22. You need parachute braking.
23. Your 'significant other' won't even ride in the car.
24. There is no possible way to "sneak out" of your neighborhood at 6 am.
25. Your pets scramble for their hiding spots as soon as the garage door is opened. (Pets, and all the neighbors...)
26. Family photos throughout the house are replaced with life-sized posters of your car.
27. Fuel is delivered to your home: in 55 gallon drums!
28. You carry earplugs in your car.(doesn't everybody???)
29. The only spot on the car which receives any regular cleaning is the windshield. (what else is there to clean???)
30. You find out that side mirrors don't hold up at speeds exceeding 145 mph.
31. Young children cling to their mommies in fear when you round the corner.
32. Birds fall out of their nests from the rumble of your 5" dual exhaust.

37. The nearest Geological Seismic Surveying Station Operator knows your address by heart.
38. A booming voice greets potential passengers with, "That's right ....you paid for the whole seat but you'll only need the EDGE.
39. The earth slows in rotation when you hook up on your new slicks and head east.
40. You have to screw your slicks to the wheels.
41. Your exhaust pipes are larger in diameter than your driveline.
42. Your fuel pump flows enough to water a golf course.
43. Your compression's high enough you could run diesel fuel.

I have to agree with the following points, but i don't have the power!! hehe
2. You can't drive your car in the rain. (it will rust away)
3. Your 'significant other' is afraid to drive your car. (noone dares go near my car)
4. You are afraid to drive your car. (only in town...)
5. You spend more on tires than on food. (hmmm... in the family i have 2 horse floats, 1 car trailer and 6 cars to keep wheels on.. thats my contribution to the house)
6. You spend more on car insurance than on house payments. (pretty much the same as above)
10. Your mechanic names the new wing of his shop after you. (my mechanic only remembers me cause i annoy the hell out of him, well you would be wanting to know why he changed the timing belt too after 1000km!!)
23. Your 'significant other' won't even ride in the car. (no one has driven my car.. no one is game)
24. There is no possible way to "sneak out" of your neighborhood at 6 am. (I have sticky-beak neighbours, they knew when i got thrown off my horse and was left laying in the paddock unable to move!!! Didn't come to help either)
25. Your pets scramble for their hiding spots as soon as the garage door is opened. (Pets, and all the neighbors...) (Even my horses run away..)
26. Family photos throughout the house are replaced with life-sized posters of your car. (why not? its my pride and joy)
30. You find out that side mirrors don't hold up at speeds exceeding 145 mph. (my mirrors didn't hold up at 130km/hr!!)
36. All the wildlife within a 800ft radius around your house got the HELLOUT. (i live in the bush, haven't hit a roo yet.. so they must be worried)
