My wife had to add a 924 one:
You spent more on your stereo than you did on your car.

...You don't mind waving at other motorists from the side of the road after something breaks.
...You like ricers challenging you to races at every stoplight
...you are happy when you have another eletrical gremlin to tackle because it occupies a lot of your free time.
...if you ever sell, the sum of the parts is greater the whole

...so is oil and coolant mixed together
...you get shocked when you realize that the part to fix the constant heat is only $1 at the friggin dealer!!!!!
...installing that part requires you to be a contortionist...
...correcting people who call it "just a four banger"
...when spending a grand total of $3000 on a car that doesn't run that well is a pretty smoking deal!!! (turbo only)
..."$200 for brake shoes? Thats all??" suddenly finds its way into your verbal usage
thats all I got for now...

if popping the hood and wiggling wires is just part of your startup routine..
if you keep timing belts hanging on the garage wall as badges of honor...
if your parts guy knows you by name... hey Jason!
if you bought your car for $5k but you have enough in it to buy a 911...
if you drive your car more than to a show or onto a trailer- you might own a 944.

...You call a vendor for parts, and they recognize your voice before you tell them your name.
...When people see your car for the first time, they say "that's a Porsche?"
...When you and the UPS delivery man are on a first name basis, and talk about the current car project.
...When household appliances and furniture start appearing in your garage, due to the amount of time spent out there.
...When the car has been up on jack stands for so long, you forgot where you put the wheels.
...When backing into the garage, you line up the tailpipe with the big black splatter marks on the back wall.

Rennlist/Pelican is your homepage so you can search for ways to fix the various things that are clicking/ making noise.
When nothing is broken you don't know what to do with your time so you browse the forums or sit wondering what to do with your time!

...you know what a 9201 is
...you think of colors in terms of codes (e.g., LM3A)
...every 10 minute, $50 routine maintenance job becomes a 5-day, $500 job because you start thinking, "while I'm in there..."
...kids tell you, "Hey, nice Ferrari"
...kids tell you, "Jake called, he says he wants his car back"
...you think a hatchback on a Porsche is not only appropriate, but actually looks good
...you think giving the computer a whack is a perfectly fine way of diagnosing a no-start situation
