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

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?

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.

xlwhellraiser

iTrader: (1)

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.!

5678TA

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..

34. Your wife realizes that the "other woman" is the parts store.

35. You spend more time on thirdgen.org than you do with the wife.

CrazyBear

for the parents... when you can tell any year of f-body apart but not your kids.

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.

CrazyBear

when you go the the junkyard and cry when you see another fbody sitting there.

StreetRoc85 350

36. You always open the passenger door for your girl, not to be a gentleman but to make sure she doesnt crush the side bolster of the seat!

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

Except #7. 1st mod should be a louder stereo...
But listening to the muffler rumble is nice too

iTrader: (1)

How's about if you have a new garage and new truck but can't get the truck in the garage due to the car and all the car parts!

Dam these cars take alot of parts

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.

Tmic87TPI

iTrader: (3)

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

39) When your neighbours give you the "oh no hes back" look after the winter storage unveiling....

88-I.R.O.C.

iTrader: (3)

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...

Busted

-you get pulled over for doing 3 over in a 60

-the cops follow you home at least 2 times a week

-you've given up on opening the doors and just leave the T-tops off and jump the doors

thats just what I've got from my 3 weeks of experience with them

dirtywhiteZ28

#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.

titan

#41 You make that little grunting noise every time you get in or out.

dirtywhiteZ28

#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!

hot92RS

I agree with all the ones about gf or wife. My whole familiy thinks I am having an affair with my cars.

dragracing_diva

These are KOOL!!!! and soooo true...

Here's another:

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...

I once bought a shop "protech auto" new fender covers cause theirs were dirty hahahha

krisb410

iTrader: (9)

What am I missing here???? You bought a shop, new fender covers, because the ones the shop had were dirty?

dragracing_diva

I think he is trying to say he didn't want that shop's dirty fender covers on his 3rd gen...

Railguy

iTrader: (4)

exactly diva thanks for clearing it up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes i didnt want some greasy contaminated fender covers on my third gen lol whats there not too get


lol

tff rail

krisb410

iTrader: (9)

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?

19transam86

how about this..... Once you start your car you don't leave it, not because someone will steal it but because the parking brake doesn'e work
