1) It takes you 4 hrs to change the spark plugs

2) You have to worry about breaking your rear end with even stock power

3) When you have to buy tires at least once every year

4) Driving on the on ramp to the highway means wide open throttle..fun!

5) When you go under an overpass or through a tunnel you downshift into first and got full throttle because it sounds like an indy car!!

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....

7) You find yourself listening to the exhaust instead of the tunes

8) You can spot another fbody from a half mile by the daytime lights

9) When you take more pics of your car than anything else.

10) When you see someone you know... you drop it down into 1st, slowly roll by them, and tap the accelerator while lookin at them like "yea... you know you're impressed"

11) When you cruise thru the mall parking lots just to see how many car alarms you can set off

12) When you refuse to put on a front liscense plate cuz you gotta see that front bowtie

13) When you meet total strangers with Fbodies that have the same interest and act like old friends from high school..

14) When you are always looking for more traction

15) When old people shake their fist at you.

16) When old guys give you a thumbs up

17) When you park at an angle in a driveway or take up 2 spots in a parking lot

18) When you secretly watch people in the parking lot as you start your car up... and you get a kick out of it when they turn to see what the hell that was

19) You completely disregard fuel economy and just drive for the hell of it!!

20) When you're waiting for your check to clear just so you can add another mod

21) When you tell people not to lean on your car

22) When you dont mind people staring at your car

23) You drive pass an all glass building and just look at your cars reflection

24) When you take the long way to a store just so you can have as much driving time as possible

25) If someone says "strange", you dont think about it being wierd. you think rear ends

26. Your always trying to find out what that "tick" is

27. Instead of trying to beat the redlight, you hope it stops you so you can race from the dig

28. When a conversation starter becomes "So what have you done to her?"

29. when you are coming to a dip in the road too fast, your stomach twists, and you involuntarily pick up your feet cuz you know the exhaust is about to scrape.

Pretty good man.

klause83z28

yep.. changing #7 is the worst of them all.

and every speed bump the car has to come to a complete stop becausue if I don't it will scrape.

What about those that run F bods AND mustangs?

I know! We are a little

Firebat

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.

82 Iron Duke

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?

pearl_iroc

ezliving4ume

The worst one yet
#31 you hear sqeaking and know its not a mouse

CrazyBear

32 when you wash your car more than yourself cause you know everybody isn't looking at you when your driving.

33. when you know more about your car and it's performance than the engineers who designed it.

all of those apply except #24 and #27

xlwhellraiser

When you avoid the tinyiest bumps because your car might break something.

You know you own a third gen if your car rattles in places that even you can't figure out.

The windshield washer fulid flies over you and your passanger when you drive a convertible.!

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..

Do other owners of other cars have this much fun? I don't think so.

But listening to the muffler rumble is nice too
