When you're neighbor that's SOOO proud of his Mercedes starts giving you dirty looks. Silly German car buyers.

When you check your oil level at a pubic place and some cocky pimply faced honda "tuner" says "hey stupid That's not how to check oil the engine is supposed to be off"... you reply something like with a dry sump you check it at idle and at operating temperature.. and BTW how much power did your 8" exhaust tip add to your naturally aspirated 2.0?

When it doesn't start or if it does start doesn't go into gear, swearing your going to "dump this Sh*tbox, then fixing the car, leaving the dealership and taking the car to 7200 rpms in the 1st three gears, then swearing your going to keep this car forever....a few months later..........it doesn't start

When your wife hears the car a few blocks away from the house knowing you're almost home and turns the Espresso machine on for you before you get home to make that cafe.

Yeah, that's a good wife. Mine would throw the machine in the trash because she hates the smell of coffee/espresso.

Drive your car like it was meant to be driven. It may be a piece of art, but life is too short to just look at it sitting still.

When you pull the door handle of other people's cars half way up and then pause before continuing.

When people you talk to on a city street, admiring the car, tell you "I've never seen one before"

When you reply, "Neither had I until I bought this one!"

When you get back to your car and find the Trader Joe's girl falling in love with it instead of doing her job! (even though it gets worse mileage than a truck)

When the guy in the brand new Porsche doesn't want to park near you.

Default When it stops working.

Or when you know the first name of the flatbed driver, Explaining to someone its not the "New kia" ( true story he was looking at my 04 from the front) ...Now for the record I think the pre 08's are junk boxes, Great looking but in this day an age..built like junk. Yes I would unload my car, but look at e-bay...nobody wants them. The tech at Miller Motors here in my home town of Greenwich CT had it right when he said ( after dropping another grand) 'You can't fix a poorly designed car you can only repair it"

- When you spend considerable time reading Forum posts about what best leather conditioner to apply, and those posts include lotions with elephant fat, aloe, vitamin E, collagen (you think I'm joking? Waxing / Leather needs of brand new Maseratis) and other exotic creams for the car. Then you look at what lotions your family owns for themselves and these are $1.99 bottles of whatever from CVS pharmacy!
