You Might be a Road Racer if.....

Post by MiataSteve » Wed Jun 04, 2008 8:17 pm

How many traits do you have!! :lol: Thanks Dave! :D

-You think the primary purpose of wings is to PREVENT flight.
-You take your helmet along when you go to buy new eyeglasses or check out cars (seats).
-You feel compelled on a road trip to beat your previous best time.
-You are happiest when your street car's tires are worn to "racing depth".
-When something falls off of your car, you wonder how much weight you just saved.
-When you hear 'overcooked it', instead of food you think 'off the track'.
-You change engine oil every other week.
-You sometimes hear little noises from your passengers when you get on the throttle right after turning in.
-You thoroughly enjoy showing the tailgater behind how to drive around a highway off-ramp.
-Your racing budget is one of the big three - mortgage, car payments/maintenance, dating.
-Your email address refers to your race car rather than to you.
-You walk “proper linesâ€

When you read car reviews,you skip over the commentary and head right for the specs. Then wonder how long till a nice used one will be available.

The first thing you look at on other cars are the tires.

You can tell by smell if a car has a cat or not and if they are running race fuel.

No matter WHAT you are driving,you see what it can do...

You won't walk to your neighbors house,but you will walk a two mile track.Twice.

You know when your harness expires,but not your inspection sticker.

You wonder why so many people waste so much money on stuff that makes their car slower.

You don't mind spending $10/gal for fuel

You removed your radio to save 3lbs. but you can't hear it anymore anyways.

Your favorite car never had a radio
