6. When you're trying to sneak out of the house and you have to push your car about 2 1/2 blocks away just to turn your car so you're not heard at home....soooo freaken true luck im on a hill hehehe
Under 20 min. Headers and no smog crap probably helps me. And a grinded down 5/8" spark plug socket with 3/4" ratchet-wrench. But hey I get it, some things just can take way way longer then they are supposed to.
32. When you're about to start working on something on your car and you just kind of start staring at your car. Then you snap out of it and forget what you were supposed to do until you find the parts you just bought.
What about when you invite your buddies to go for a ride and thay fall out of the car looking like pretzels because there is no room in the back seat?

OHHHHHHHHH, what about if your wife or significant other is always yelling at you because she is jealous

19) You completely disregard fuel economy and just drive for the hell of it!!---exactly me.. i have NO idea how much gas mileage i get.. i pay NO attention to the odometer.. i only pay attention to what really matters.. GAS GUAGE that seems to always be under half tank..
7) You find yourself listening to the exhaust instead of the tunes---i have no radio.. my exhaust is too loud.. i would need at least 500watts to hear something.. my ipod blasting in my ears is barely enough..
my addition:
34) When security guards and police look at you, smile and wave, reguardless of the completely illegal exhaust..
35) When you know alternate routes through parking lots to avoid speed bumps..

37.) When you roll out from the light easy in first, pacing that ***** who thinks your racing, and then watching his eyes go wide as you snap the throttle wide open going into second and the rear-end steps out.
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.
haha describes me perfectly.
also heres one - you open and close the door for your girlfriend, not to be a gentlemen but because the door sags so low she can't close it!

38)
39) When your neighbours give you the "oh no hes back" look after the winter storage unveiling....
Guilty! Especially funny if you just get laying down about 70 feet of rubber and they come over the hill only to go through the 'fog'. Then i saw my neighbor later and he just looks.....and then he was like...SWEET! I love my neighbors...
#40 your local police officer pulls you over just to remind you that your registration sticker is about to expire. You know he's just jealous cause they took his away.
#42 That little grunt you made when you first bought the car turns into a long low groan till your back is staight and you didn't notice it till the neighbors kids started make'n fun of it!
When you park in the farthest corner of the race track pits because it takes you 20 minutes to get your car off the trailer with 6ft ramps, parked in a hole, and the tongue jacked up to keep the nose from scrapping...
And, when you buy a house based on whether or not you can get your car in the driveway without cremating the ground effects... GUILTY on both accounts...

Well I really don't think that applies here in this thread. How does that driving an F body and giving fender covers to a shop have to do with it? Is giving shop new fenders covers a common thing where you live?
I have never heard of someone dumb enough to buy fender covers for a shop. Why not just keep them and tell them to use yours when working on your car?
Pretty good man.
