I'll go first.

...you own more than 4 jackstands.

You have one of the busiest paypal accounts without owning a business.

Most questions start with: 'Where can I find the cheapest...'

you can't fix one thing without fixing another first and before that something else and so on and so on and so on and so on.......................

if your parts stash is worth more $ than your car is.

BTDT this was mine on a previos thread

You think a sign like this means to down shift and step on it.

Your wife says no I'm not bringing dinner to the garage.

You think a garage is where you work on things not store things.

Sorry, I knew I probably wasn't the first.. but recently I had to make a special trip to go buy a pair of jackstands to use because the 4 I had were under the 914

I'll come up with something more original and add it later

Ohh that hit close to home. I think ... In fact I know I qualify

Your wife asks you: "Is it safe to drive?" And you respond: "Safe is relative!"

If when in a conversation with someone and rust is mentioned and you think about your car.

you get pissed because the street values are going up......

...you try to start in second when driving "normal" cars.

or, ...you pop the hood when pulling up to the gas pump when driving a "normal" car.

(I'm guilty of both)

You have been heard saying..........."Nice longs........."

Pictures like this make your pants fit funny:

You ask if it's a six and if not...when you are going to convert it....

You keep a spare tire in your car for crash safety

Cole

You have more pairs of jeans that are saturated with oil/transmission fluid/brake fluid than you do clean pairs.

Your neighbors hate you

You can't understand how cars without spare tires manage to clean their windshields.

You go out with your wife/girlfriend dancing and you insist on going to the Sway Bar.

Wherever you look around you there are bumpers, license plates and door handles of other cars.

You pour oil into your furnace at home beacuse you think its not working correctly.

... if you own one or more welders and thats not your profession

When you have more car parts on your coffee table than in the engine bay of your car.

You have ever had to decide between being cold in your car or breathing the smell of burning oil.

if you've ever rebuild your carbs on the patio, just to get out of the garage for a while...

if you tell people "I have a porsche, but not the one your thinking of..."

you have spent more on parts, than you did for the car itself.

"rust" is the scariest word in the dictionary...

...routine maintenance turns into an engine drop, which turns into a complete restoration that takes 3-5 years.

when people ask you what kind of car it is and you reply:
it's a por 15,
i mean porsche 914."

Except substitute burning oil with swepco or 87 octane. Your choice.

Jen

When your wife helps you pack the extra clutch cable in your lunch bag and writes on the outside the AAA phone number.

Quilmes

When you leave the car at the office overnight and the next morning everyone in the office asks you 'what's wrong with it?'

Your neighbor thinks your rich because you own a "Porsche"...

if you've spent quite a bit of time watching quite a bit of the world pass by a narrow horizon marked only by your feet, which are angled slightly and pointing toward the sky, and two tires (on a good day).

pete

When you can change the clutch cable on the side of the road and still make it to work on time.

IF YOUR NOT AFRAID TO WORK ON YOUR OWN PORSCHE

When you go through a drive through and the person ask is that a Fiat or Fiero or (insert your own here).

you know you own a 914 when the stanford DPS starts hassling you about an "abandoned vehicle".




bastards.

...when "Teener" means your car and not your girlfriend-on-the-side.

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 park facing downhill because of your hot start problem.

Jen

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.


KT

If your asking for 3 car lents in a 1/4 mile race agains your son pocket bike

if you have a big grin on your face every time you drive your car ...

Andy

if you have read this entire thread.

if almost everytime you go to show someone your car it won't start.

The first warm February day gets you all distracted and misty eyed, and you think: Hmmmmm, that first drive of the year is coming, and it is gonna ROCK.

You own a MIG welder for car maintenance.

You can ask a female 914 owner "How's your hell hole?" knowing that you won't get slapped.
