When you try and add a new engine configuration you don't already have for the next one. So far:
NA Flat 4
NA Flat 6
SC Flat 6
SC v8
Twin Turbo v8

I need a Porsche v10

When you detail your lug bolts and wax your calipers during a tire change.

Spring and fall when I do winter tire changeover, I have found out that cleaning the inside of the wheels is very easy with Windex and paper towels. The brake dust just melts off the wheels. No harm to the finish. Ready for a coat of wax.

Cars in front of you on the highway pull over into the slow lane to let you pass......Except Utah. Dang! I had a high speed dual out on the salt flats on the way to Salt Lake last week. Just outside Bendover I followed someone who was very comfortable changing lanes at 105 plus. Figure I had the Porsche and he didn't. I stayed right with him for quite a while, but I was already 10 hours into my drive and it was dark and around 17 degrees outside. Road is pretty beat up from trucks and lanes not as wide as the freeway in Nevada. I let him go and had no regrets.

780 mile trip averaged 76mph and 26mpg!

When you are sitting at a dealership purchasing a car and some brat opens and slams the door to a $207k Turbo S and you tell the kid to stay away from it in front of this parents.

...When your neighbor comes over seeing you laying underneath, figuring somethings wrong and asks in a sarcastic tone.. "Whats broke now".. To which I reply, "Nothing, I am just washing and waxing the undercarriage"
