start naming every make, model and year of cars you pass when your driving at work for fun!
when your friends give u shit every day for talking about things like drag coeffients of vl walkinshaws over standard vls!
when friends state that you know every 1/4 mile time and weight/power of most the cars on the road!
i could go on but it would just prove more embarrasing
also only 28 days till my skyline arrives :) haha

When you wind down the window in the car to hear the sound a passing modified car makes.
When your ringtone on you phone is a turbo spooling up
when you put posters on the wall you put it with the car showing rather than the bikini cald chick on the back.
when youd rather not eat so you can buy that next performance part
when your house gets broken into and the frist thing u go and check is the half cut out the back to make sure they havent taken it even though there is no humanly possible way of getting it over the fence without a crane.

ROFL Omeg @ "winding down your window to listen to the sound a modified car makes"
1) I'll go you one better, "telling the missus to be quiet, while ur winding down the window, to listen to the sound a car makes as it goes past" (i've done that before.)
2) You can't be assed turning your head anymore becoz ur ears work fine and u can tell thats a "253 with extractors, a holley and a shift kitted auto, in a torana" (this used to be me, and i've proved to be right on far too many occasions to be admitting to it) :dizzy:
3) You'll risk pissing the missus off to watch a 1 minute snippit of information about a performance car, meanwhile its the end of her FINAL episode of "Sex in the City" :boink:
4) You can tell whose a car nut becoz "he actually moves TOWARDS the tyre smoke"
5) You can tell whose a car nut becoz "he wears out of fashion shoes, but fuck they are good for race changes and heel/toe'ing it"
6) You can tell whose a car nut becoz "you'll catch him immitating an exhaust noise, while steering an imaginary wheel in mid air while stamping his right foot down"
7) You can tell whose a car nut becoz "not only can he name the year, make and model of the car, he can tell you what the drive configuration is, country it was made in, if its a rebadged version of another brand of car, a rough guess at how many were made, if thats a standard colour or not and can tell you how big those rims are from 100 metres off" :shake:
When you seem to take notice of a lot of corners and think to yourself, I should come back later and try drift that..

When you passenger in some one else's car and u check left and right when turning corners then put your foot down to accelerate off, you then comment on how he could improve his car handeling throught better suspension and tyres

when you're a passenger in someone elses car and you watch their gear changing and it irritates you when they shift too early/late and can't resist the urge to comment on improving their technique
when your driving along, see a nice car, pull alongside , smile, get a smile back and you know its game on

*looks at shoes* shit never noticed that before :(
When you come out of a 3hr yr12 exam and ask your mates if they heard that WRX driving past 2 and a half hours ago.

When they say yes.
your mates fly past your house, just to piss you off and you can tell it was them by the sound...

When you consider naming your children arbee and tujay (RB & 2J)
When your a passenger and you know the driver is going to do something by the way they shift down or adjust their line
When you try to drift everything
When you try to race everyone
When you find yourself going sideways down the isles in the supermarket with a shopping trolley
When you find yourself going sideways whilst walking to the lunchbar downstairs..(Making rev limiter noises)
When you spend more on car magazines in a week than you do on food or alcohol
Ohh dear god i do this sort of stuff daily..
Im down with the Car sound thing, its good being with girls who like cars too as they shut up at the same time.. hahaha, ohh also when you go to thrash and they know it they brace.. Its amazing to watch a girl NOT smash around in the passenger seat as you thrash through the hills
I love cars.

on monday mourning the first thing people ask is "have any runs on the weekend"
you meet someone for the first time and the 2nd question is "so you like cars"
the little kids on the street try to bet you by the end of the rd then give you shit cause you let them win.
get a job on saturdays just so you can drive cars on hoists and park them in the carpark at the age of 14 for $20

When you take off the plumback hose from the BOV hoping for flames on gear changes but it just pops and wants to stall.

When letting the BOV rip next to a pedestrain and looking in your mirrors to see if they look up with a WTF impression on their face.

But yea, theres a chick in swan view with a slivia, P Plater, its turbo with the nisan sports front bumper.
I seen a chick in a Rx4 coop, and some hotties in a prelude, with an exhaust.
Also theres a car club in perth just for chicks.......
*Having discussions about chicks that you have seen in performance cars*
it's a shame many of them are tom boys.. and have clits that would put most of us to shame.
they are car whores. not car lovers.

I do this shit too, spooling sound, bov, pops and crackles, when i am walking down stairwells in carparks etc where it echos i usually make angry sounds it sounds awesome like when you drive through the tunnel. you just gotta hope there is nobody else around.
shopping trolleys drift so good, they just stay sideways for as long as you like. its good when you shift the weight and hang it out sideways way before the end of the isle. then you link the u-turn and fishy all up the next isle. always get weird looks doing that, combined with wastegate sounds. i think i need help :( but reading this thread i dont think im alone!
