-when you bought the car over six years ago and the longest you've driven it was when you bought it, Florida to Wisconsin, with no radio.

-you've read the factory service manuals, and have forgotten more than what most people know.

-you cuss thermostat snap-rings

-you know speed and reference sensors will interchange with bmw's.

-you're $500 944 will be a race car....someday, after the 951 gets running.

When the girl you were dating when you owned an 83 knew exactly how to duck when you took the top off at a stop light.
You know to walk through the mazda section of the scrap yards looking for the "mazda 944"

If when you get out of the car you always take one last look over your shoulder and think to yourself "damn that's a sexy looking car."

If your Facebook cover photo, laptop ,and cellphone walllapers are all pictures of your car.

if the local tire guy says, "they don't make 16 inch tires anymore...."


if somebody comes up to you and says, "you know that's really an Audi."


if a clutch job costs more than the car.....


if your local mechanic says, "we don't work on 944 Turbos."


if a new torque tube costs more.....


if you see a car just like yours advertised on craigslist with the words 944 PRICE REDUCED as the heading.


if you end up junking the car.

You walk a mile every morning to school just because you don't want to get another scratch in your high school parking lot.

Your friends ask if they can borrow your car to impress girls (the answer is no)

You take the twistiest route to your destination.

You never get a headlight flash or a wave back from Cayenne owners (I think this works for all other models too)

that's very good.

if you studied chemistry, engineering dynamics and fluid mechanics 200 feet from where the liquid fuel rocket was invented, (chemistry) in the building that bears the inventor's name; yet, you still get into a pissing contest over how to overbuild an exhaust for a petulant 4 cylinder engine from 3 decades ago.

When you paid $11.5 for a Turbo S and think you overpaid. Then proceed to put another $11.5 into it to fix everything.
