Read up to page 22, and apologize in advance if this was has already been used after that page:

You know at least 6 different methods to tension a timing belt.
You have the tolerances and bolt sizes memorized, but can't recite your gf's cell phone number by memory.

When people think your a rich ahole porsche owner and you say they are really cheap yet if you're praised, you boast about all the money it costs to own one. I love being hypocritical cuz I always win!

Every time you walk into a car parts store for a tool they look at you like you've lost your mind.

or

- you own more suspension tools than a wheel alignment shop

instead of buying parts for one car, you buy another project car, and then another...

you never want to scrap your parts car because "one day I'll turn it into a track car..."

When people ask you what year is your RX-7
When you couldn't pass up that other 944 and your wife wont talk to you for a week.
When the only car in your garage actually doesnt run
When people ask you why does your 4 cylinder take 7 quarts of oil.
When you dread covering everything in oil from changing the filter cuz you just cleaned the mess from the last one.
When you hit your 5 gallon recycle limit for oil after you change the oil on just your 944s
Your wastgate opens and everycop in the local area knows who and where you are,
When somebody asks why you have three different turbos on your work bench and you just shrug.
When you spend the same amount for four pistons as you did for eight psitons for your big block.
When you think about how boring out the cylinders in your 944 would save you money in the long run
When your wife refers to your 951 as girlfriend number 2.
When you laugh at your Audi friends when they complain about how much their car cost to fix, only becasue you think thier bill is cheap.
When you stock up on certain parts for those just incase moments.
When you go to sears for tools and they know you by name.
when you buy a timing belt kit for your wifes subaru and think only 150... that cant be right.
When you plan use vacation time from work to take care of those things youve been putting off.
Say what you want but these cars are too much fun, I've been spoiled. I could take what i spend in maitenance and insurance and buy a brand new car, but it just wouldnt cut the mustard.
