- you believe that somewhere, out there, there's a 944 with the factory dash board that doesn't have any cracks (you also belive in the holy grail)
- you feel like you're driving a UPS delivery truck whenever you drive anything other than your 944
- it took you 3 days to figure out the correct way to exit the car when you first got it (turn, feet out, pull up)
- you can't imagine why all cars aren't built with 50/50 weight distribution

Holy Crap! I own a 944! (and been lovin' it
- well most of the time 
).How about this:
- You give up any engine performance improvements and focus on upgrading the suspension instead.
- You enjoy wrenching on your car almost as much as driving it ('cause you have to)

Heres another one.
You have new spare misc parts just laying around the house, and the garage for when said part does break.

Or:
You are always thinking about your next upgrade.
Trying to pay for parts without your wife finding out.
Realize the you have spent thousands more on the car than it is worth, and rationalize that by telling people, "It's a classic, it won't depreciate".
Take a look at your computer bookmarks/favorites.
"Fest" has a special meaning
You have memorized offset measurements

...you get a point-by and the while passing, the other drive not only has to lift, but brake as well to let you bye.
...you have bent valves on your bookcase as a momento of the latest blown timing belt
...you're always surfing ebay your parts you may or may not actually need.
