Re: You know you drive a F-Body when....

[quote=Justin1989;3974124]#40?: When you have a routine of buttons to press when parking and starting your car.

I actually thought about making a sticky note on my dash to remind me so I don't break the car. I also use an electric fan switch (constantly worried about leaving it on and killing the battery). Oh, and I need a new key cylinder for the drivers side so I have to open from the passenger side anyways.

Re: You know you drive a F-Body when....

Quotes
"35) When you know alternate routes through parking lots to avoid speed bumps.." Made sure I choose a row without 'em have to park farther away but oh well

"for the students.... when you spend more time looking at f-body parts in one day than you do doing your homework in one month." You don't know how true that is

"38) When you plan your routes according to which ones will keep you moving, instead of the shortest route, so your car doesnt overheat." Sadly also very true

When stupid people think your black camaro is a KITT. I mean come on that's happened so many times to me WHY?

...Tried doing this at 3/4 throttle with a healthy TPI 350, ended up doing a 180 at 80 kmph. The expressions on the faces of the oncoming motorists were priceless as I threw the car in neutral and safely reversed off the side of the highway.

I used to get that with my old base model 'bird, but I would get "nice Trans Am!". After a while I got sick of correcting people and just went with it

I drove my car for over 10 years in the snow, with a little planning, and avoiding a few roads, it was fun!!! But unfortunately I have not driven it in 5 years and I don't think I could do that any more after being spoiled with good snow cars!

Re: You know you drive a F-Body when....

I had a friend with a '86 Z28 w/TPI350 swap in it. He got 2 houses up the street in the snow... in an hour. The houses in my neighborhood are pretty close together. He missed work that day.

you go to buy paint at the parts store and the manager asks to see the latest pictures of your car ... or even better.... this has happened to me once or twice... the manager at the parts store has a list of things and the prices for you to upgrade your car... lol
