* except for in the turns, which you will never be able to prove because people will only race you in a straight line.

When you walk into a room and someone says "what's that gassy smell?"

When people get in your car and their eyes water..

When people get in your car and cough..

When you know exactly how every model civic slowly dissapearing into the background looks..

When you neck and neck with an s13, and then they shift at 6k and you keep pulling ahead until 8.5k where you shoot a fireball, and make them pee..

When someone sais ls1 and you cringe..

When you need a new o2 sensor every week..

When you frequently turn exhaust gaskets turn into crumbs..

When you go to floor it up a hill, and you get passed by a prius..

When old people look at you like hank hill looks at a gay guy..

When your Landlord says: is that car ever gonna move out of your driveway?
You buy a Portable garage to hide it and buy another FC that runs just to fool him!

When your sitting a light and you see the person behind you start coughing because of all the premix coming out the exhaust.

When your friends don't want you to lead a cruise because the premix makes them cry.

when your co-workers know you drove the 7 to work before they get into the parking lot cuz of the smell of exhaust down the road

when your friends don't have to look out the window to know you have arrived

when you can still do 100 mph with a blown engine

when your g/f knows more about how to fix a rotary than the average mechanic

when you get pulled over for doing the speed limit

when you constantly buy things "by accident" online - lol

when you get funny looks while you are premixing at the gas station

when stupid kids give you thumbs up

when you leave late for dinner and still get there early

when the g/f doesn't panic when you are sideways

You guys complaining about the FC being slow must have an na. My girlfriends t2 was "blown" yielding 65psi and would still haul *** on the road. Just couldn't hot start.

You know you own a rotary when your "blown" motor still has you passing other cars.

When you're going to leave in the morning, or from another person's house, you warm up your car for 10-15 minutes.....

uhg, this. Someone is going to have to start making reproduction trim pieces soon, before everyone breaks their 80's plastic pieces. I'm afraid of removing anything in my interior.
