You know that they had an article in a mag not long ago saying that the relationship b/t man and his car is one of the strongest on the planet.. Wonder why??

well uh, yes some of ya'll do need help. but if i had an FD i'd be obsessed too. i'm not going to lie. i sometimes think its funny when guys go up to their fd's and they notice the smallest scratch and make a huge deal about it, when really its not noticeable. but when i have mine, i will too understand

When you check autotrader everyday to see if there are any FD's in your area that are being sold so you can check them out to see how clean they are.

Funny that you mention that... I have those hangers in my garage too. This morning it was a little windy outside, so when I opened my garage door the wind came blasting in making on of our shovels fall off. Lucky it didnt hit any car, but it scared the crap out of me...

You know I had a nightmare about my FD overheating. I was doing time trials and before you knew it I looked at the temp needle and it was as high as you can get it. I woke up saying "DAMN IT I DONT HAVE ENOUGH FOR A REBUILD RIGHT NOW, HOW STUPID COULD I BE!!!!!" all this in a cold sweat and your g/f waking up saying OMG and rolling over to go back to sleep...LOL!! This is a true story!

when you have large blocks written in your dayplanner every now and then that are marked "quality time" or "driving time" and you ditch a lot of really important things so you can drive aimlessly for a while.

-when you give your family members gifts, and they are performance parts for your car.
-when you wash your FD 3 times in one day because a tree in your yard is dripping sap, but you don't want to park on the street.
-when you talk to/about your FD like it's your significant other.

I've got it bad too. I always try to think of an excuse/destination for myself or a reason to go drive my FD other than just going out to drive, but it always ends up being a driving trip with nowhere in particular to go.

you guys hit in on the money.

wash & wax weekly. (well i've been getting a bit lazy, the honeymoon is over hehe.) - check

washed car inside garage - check

pop hood at the mall, supermarket, video store - check (btw, it's outside right this moment with the hood up faced into the wind, and a car cover over it. luck thing i live in a good neighborhood. yeah i don't have a garage space)

drive aimlessly for hours - check (I drive round and round an island... hm last trip i made was 50 miles to get a 50¢ can of dog food at 11:00 pm)

bad dreams about car overheating/crashing/acts of god - check

Saving up for either a rebuild or engine transplant as we speak - check (veh ight)

Pissed at the miniscule of miniscule scratches, door digns, bird droppings - check

park 4-5 rows away from general public to avoide aforementioned - check

walking away from your car and look back every 10 feet to be sure it's still there.

demand that people either take off their shoes or walk when they ride with you.

cruise this forum till 3:00 am before starting your hw.

last but not least,

Honestly believe forum members are real live individuals.
