You have to roll up your window if you end up next to diesel truck at a stop light to avoid black face

you look at the semi next to you on the highway and think "I know I could make it under that trailer"

You pull into a parking lot and a young hispanic kid walks over from his chopped Impala and he asks you "man, how'd you get that so low...."

..All true...

However, you all missed the top two....

People like your "Fiat"

and you regularly meet the "yep, my dad used to have one of "them"" type people....

You can recite the spare parts recommendations for long road trips.....

You know Porsche serial #s by heart.

You can tell one MPS type from another.

Your tail shifter shifts pretty good.

You get all misty when you find a gear shift knob that doesn't have a crack in the clear coat over the shift pattern or the bakelite isn't chipped.....

You know why your 914 doesn't have a crest on the hood.

You can get home when your accelrator cable breaks as long as you have two shoe laces to tie together.

You LIKE the smell of warm oil.

It *always* takes two hands to open the engine lid.

You have to plan you trips to avoid dips, pot holes, speed bumps and steep driveways.

You brag that you can drop or install the motor in an hour.

You sit, lift, spin, plant your feet before you close the door. ( tell your passengers, too )

When you show somebody your car for the first time, you alway crack the: "where's the motor?" after the two trunks are open.

Any sign of trouble- could be a vacuum leak.

Every on ramp is the start of Le Mans.

you claim your car is a "real" porsche until you beat a 911 and then its a volkswagon. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) or maybe its the opposite way around.

You have ever sat down on a wet seat after raining, even though the windows are up and the top is on.

Or you need an umbrella while driving in the rain.
