Oh yeah, then you stay up all night, even though you just spent 10 hours on the road, waiting for the truck to arrive so that I can unload my baby and make sure she is alright. Phew, she is. Time to terrorize the neighborhood at 3:00 in the morning. The bitch is back!

...When you start having conversations with Dave @ KDR about his personal life because you've run out of things to ask him about your FD...

...When you look underneath your car after each and every time you drive it to see if your coolant and/or oil leak got worse...

...When you drive more cautiously than you have in your entire life for fear of being hit...

...When you have to see a loan specialist to fill up your gas tank...

...When everyone always asks what's wrong with your car when you're really just popping the hood to let it cool down...

(lol) I JUST replaced mine on the passenger side just a month and a half ago...but it was the original one. I'd already replaced the driver's side one some time ago.

I can DEFINITELY relate to these two...especially with the "oil". I have a dedicated "oil rag" that sits in my garage atop the water heater....JUST for wiping up anything that seeps out (lol). When I don't see oil, then I'm concerned (lol).

You chuckle to yourself and think of your car when you're taking a whiz and you notice the urinal cake is shaped like a rotor.

.... Everytime you go out side for a smoke at home you go and stand by it, walk around it, sit in it and admire the beauty of it, just because you can!

... When your girlfriend calls you and says "im just not feeling it anymore... i feel like you dont care anymore... we never talk.." etc when your putting together your car

... When every car that you can afford and need to buy is the BIGGEST downgrade from a 400rwhp+ FD

... When you blow your engine, pop the hood, get out, look at your friend and tell him "i think i just blew my engine.. hug me"

... When you cry yourself at night because you just put yourself in almost 20k in debt

When something else breaks right after you fix something.

When you hear strange noises when driving and know thats perfectly normal.

When you have nothing BUT guys ask about your car, hoping the day will come when girls actually start having a thing for FD's.

When you're scared to come to a complete stop from after going WOT because that determines if you broke something or not.

When all you have to argue against HP is handling (a big thing on this forum lol)

Usually your next car upgrade is actually a downgrade because you spent so much on the FD.

When you have no qualms about pulling the engine in your car, but would seriously consider paying somebody else to change your fuel filter.

That is so true!

I would rather pull the differential to change the filter than try to do it with the differential in place. I actually think it might be faster that way.

... when people across town tell you how sweet your car sounds from 3kms away lol

... when you go to the local performance shop and the owner is your best friend because he just bought an FD.

... when you and ONLY you can park in the no parking section right infront of the bar.

... when you are young, have absolutly NO financial obligations, make $70K/yr and STILL dont have $$!

You stomach cringes when Ray Crowe has a sale, because you know you'll be starving, and you idea of a gourmet meal is top romen with slices of hot dog in it.
