Saw this on another forum and I know I'm guilty of a few of them lol
1. When you run home during your lunch break to wash the car after a morning rain, leaving you hungry with no extra time to eat.....and you're ok with it.
2. When you see your passenger hang his/her arm out of the window to hold the roof and instantly become furious at the fingerprints they are in the process of leaving.
3. When something seems wrong, you can't focus on anything else that day...work, gf, national emergency...etc.
4. When it's stored during the winter you notice your overall mood is down.....then you take it out for a 3 day warm streak and you can't wipe that shit eating grin off your happy-go-lucky ass.
5. When you make your friends eat the beef jerky / bag of chips etc outside of your car before they are allowed to get back in! This has happened many times, and I NEVER back down. Eat it outside, or call me when the taxi drops you back home, haha.
6. When your GF/WIFE bitches at you that you give more attention to your car then you do her.
7. You have owned 4 S197's in the last 6 months.
8. When your naked wife says "come and get me" and you say "just a second, I have to finish posting to this thread".
9. You spend your Friday nights cruising back and forth in front of the local Chevy dealership hoping to find someone test driving a Camaro.
10. When you go out to eat you park where you can see your car from inside at the table so you can make sure no one is f***ing with it.
11. When you spend more on the S197 than the missus.
12. When you would rather celebrate your S197's birthday more than your own.
13. When you look at your car in the garage as you turn the light off and smile to yourself.
14. When you park the car to go into a store, you catch yourself turning around at least 5 times to look at your S197.
15. The amount spent on aftermarkets closes in on the actual sticker price of the car new.
16. You see an '06 V6 with Cobra badges, body kit, 3 foot wing and 22s and your eyes get a little teary.
17. You find the squeaks and rattles part of the "charm of owning an S197".
18. Every Christmas, you have a list of parts with prices next to them and websites to order it from so when anybody asks you what you want, you can give them a list with items they can choose from that fit their budget.
19. You go through your garage looking for shit to sell so you can buy "just one more thing" for it.
20. Whenever you get pissed off, you go driving. Whenever you're really happy, you go driving. Whenever you're sad, you go driving. Whenever you're bored, you go driving. Whenever you're......
21. You are suddenly an economics major and an actor. You explain, at passionate length, to your wife how if you were to buy this part or that part, you can save XX amount of $$ on gas, tires, whatever other BS you can dream up.
22. You get into an accident and jump out to beat the shit out of the person who hit you. Then, you go back to the car to call the police and see your wife sitting there and say, "Oh yeah!!! Are you OK?" **Disclaimer...you do this and you will soon be unable to afford your Mustang, much less a Bigmac**.
23. When you go visit the stored stang and you wait as the garage is shut, not because you are worried it wont close, but because you want to look at it for every possible second you can before you leave!
24. When you park in a parking spot and end up coming back to it with a smile on your face and going around the car atleast 2-3 times to make sure there are no dings or scratches!
25. If you park at the very end of the parking lot where no one else is parked to make sure no one opens their door on you or to avoid the likely scenario of "runaway" shopping carts.
26. If you find yourself having to decide whether or not to spend money on booze or new toys for the car.
27. When you have the girl your seeing come pick you so you don't have to park your car outside her house overnight.
28. When your shopping with your woman and you keep yelling at her her to hurry up because it's wal mart and you can just picture a shopping cart ramming into your paint at any moment.
29. When people constantly ask you "is that yellow" (For Grabber Orange members)
30. You tell your wife about the latest TSB about emergency brakes being damaged in the cold so you get to park in her garage.
