found this while buzzin' around the net, thought it was funny.....
sad thing is how many of these apply to me....
sad thing is how many of these apply to me....
- You refer to the corner down the street from your house as "Turn One".
- You take your Snell 95 helmet along when you go to the Acura dealer for a
test drive of the new NSX! - You drive to the grocery store ... and feel compelled to beat your previous times!
- You are always trying to get the "jump" on a green traffic signal.
- You bought a new tow vehicle ... instead of braces for your kids.
- You just paid $4.25 a gallon for racing gas ... without even complaining!
- You drive your shopping cart through the "racing line" at the grocery store!
- You save broken car parts as little "mementos" and paper weights.
- Your "fantasy" garage will hold twice as many cars as your house has
bedrooms. (Or maybe 4 times as many motorcycles ...) - You can't stand anyone telling you how to drive ... because you're the best!
- You enjoy showing the tailgaters behind you ... how to really drive
"the line" around the Interstate on / off ramps! - Your "Favorites" on the Internet are all motorsports websites.
- You really hate long distance family vacation driving ... but a 2-day,
4-pit-stop sprint to the race track is an exception! - Your home library consists solely of parts catalogs, factory shop manuals,
old "valuable" motorsports books, and "in car" race videos! - Instead of family photos in your wallet, you have pictures of all the race
cars that you've ever owned! - You sit in your NSX ... in a dark garage ... making engine sounds,
shifting gears, and practicing double clutching ... while waiting for your engine
to be returned after an expensive rebuild! - You tell your wife / girlfriend (or both!) where you would like to go for
your next vacation. She answers, "Why...is there a *#!#!* race there?" - Your television / VCR is always programmed for SpeedChannel or a F1,
CART / IRL, or NASCAR race. - You gave away your complete set of 1950 - 1970 baseball cards ... but saved
all those old musty Sports Car Graphic, Motor Sport, and Road and Track magazines! - You practice the "racing line" and hit all the apexes just right on your
daily commute to work. - Your heroes are: James Dean, Juan Manuel Fangio,
Steve McQueen, Peter Revson, Ricardo and Pedro Rodriguez, Ayrton Senna, Jo
Siffert, and "Taffy" von Tripps. - You own five cars ... but only one is street legal!
- You have motorsports related decals plastered on the rear window of all
your family vehicles. - And ... you have even considered getting a "marque" tattoo on the wrist of
your shifting hand. Yikes!
