You know your a first Gen owner when..
your cars morning backfires from the choke being pulled out is your neighbors unofficial wake up call.

When everytime it rains you get a sideways sliding feeling, and smile.

When painting and polishing your car, even though it needs mechanical love, becomes habit

When building a engine that is 2x more then what you paid for your car seems like a financial investment.

When your automotive school looks at you like your involved in black magic and sorcery.

And my personal fave, when said school classmates look at your engine and say"dude, my cola has twice as many liters as your engine.... How the HELL did you make to 106 in a auto o_O"

You contemplate what song suits your car's personality best... then you give up and shuffle all IRON MAIDIEN instead.


You made plans on rebuilding your engine before you bought the car.

When you are talking to a guy at a gas station who claims he had a 1st gen and he could never blow it up even though he didn't have a working water pump and you nearly vomit. Then goes on about he is making one for its true purpose "drifting". Then you do vomit.

When you people send you 13b parts thinking they are 12a parts

On a side note I have everything to do a 13b swap LMAO

When it sits on jackstands longer then the tires
When your good tire is the spare
When you find more rust and say it isn't so bad that I can not only look through my car but also put my fist through a panel.

When you spend money on performance parts for a car that won't pass inspection until the rust is fixed.

When you try to justify all that's wrong with your car by saying "it's supposed to be that way.

When your family contemplates putting you in an asylum because you spend so much money on it.

When your Wiffy-poo is explaining to one of her friends the difference between champagne taste's and beer budget's - as your bolting on your bright shiny new Race Beat exhaust system.

When you contemplate the next set of upgrades after putting over 3k into getting a new engine setup in, have a full list for the build, and it get's new additions often and finally, the car becomes so much a part of the family that everyone is helping get it up and running or lending moral support. Got some good new additions lately.
