this kinda goes along with the whole pacific northwest thing....
you know you drive too much when...
-it's perfectly acceptable to pass on the shoulder when all other lanes are occupied by slower cars...
-you use the rain gutter initial d style to take that corner just a bit faster...
-you constantly downshift then upshift in traffic because you love the sound of your own exhaust...
-you have an email address written on cardboard like reza that you keep in your car "just in case"...
-you have a favorite stretch of road that you know inside and out that you could drive in your sleep...
-you belong to a car forum where you talk with other people who have the same passion for automotive excellence...
-there is a performance sticker SOMEWHERE on your car or cell phone or school binder or wall or desk, ect.
-you have a favorite car that if you owned you know every performance and aesthetic upgrade you'd make...
-you "tweak" your car when you bored just because you can...
-you have installed at least one part in the parking lot of the place you bought it...
-road cones instantly become slalom courses...
-you take the windy backroads because it's "faster"...
-you're that guy at work that everybody goes to for questions about their rides...
-people check their seatbelts when they get into a car with you just to make sure it's fastened...
-the "oh shit handle" on the passenger side is worn smooth...
-there is no loose change anywhere it could rattle or shift because that's just annoying...
-your friends seem to take FOREVER to get anywhere...
-people always look to you to drive when there's a time limit involved...
-people in other cars look at you and shake their heads at stop lights...
-you know almost every "tuned" car in your area...
-and my favorite. the local police recognize you and your vehicle in everyday situations...
i know that the majority of these apply to me...do they apply to you?
