Cool

. You are too frightened to drive outside the city cos there aren't enough gas stations.

. The emissions at idle could power a civic.

. You dont have back seat drivers anymore cos there is not enough room for a rollcage and a back seat.

. You open the garage door before you start the car so you dont suffocate.

. You dont need wipers anymore cos they will only scratch the Lexan.

You have to let the car idle to 25 mph before touching the gas

The frame shop keeps spares on hand specifically for you

Hoosier owes their rising stock prices to you

Your driveshaft is solid titaniam

You can't hear your stereo or your spouse (not a bad thing!)

Manufacturers pay you to take their stickers OFF your car

You drop the clutch at idle and still squawk the tires.

Sounds like my cousin almost. He starts the car, dogs start barking, houses shake, alarms go off... He gets pulled over for the car being too loud.

He also did 130 in a school zone...

What kind of car does he have? Unrelated, There was this awesome 1980ish Camaro I saw yesterday, It sounded pretty beefy when it was driving but then alongside the bus it was shaking it! I was just in ecstasy.

when the cam is so radical the wife/girlfreind calls it the cars shifter
"mr happy"

the only time a cop has ever given you a ticket is cause you ran out of gas during the pursute

when you jump on the gas in your front wheel drive it changes lanes by itself

I floored my mom's Windstar once and the entire front end hopped...the front wheels left the ground then came back down with a nice squeal (since they spun in the air). It also moved to the left about a foot...it was the wierdest thing ever...impressed the chicks on the sidewalk though
