When you wash and wax it every time you get done driving it, and you put her in the temperature controled garage with a silk car cover, padded tyvac cover and 3 moving Pads.

You're obsessed with your FD when you plan to spend the rest of your life with it, and grow old, and die with it

I feel better now. I wasn't sure if I was the only one who has had nightmares about overheating, wrecking, or hurting my car in general. Well it may not be normal but I feel better that others have had the same nightmares.

You know your obsessed with your FD when you sit in front of a computer and read all these things and feel like your not alone anymore.
When you have a schedule for what you have to do and a day planner for where you have to take your car and when.

You know you are obsessed with your FD when you...

Write a "You know you are obsessed with your FD when...list"

You beat another FD and feel bad because you are practicing "REX on REX Crime"

You are late to EVERYTHING because you wait 4 minutes for it to warm up

Have to take Paxil (depression medication) because your FD has been in the shop for a week

Finally...

You know people on this board by their frist name...and you have never even met them

When you spend more on car **** than shelter. When you have race wheels stacked up in your living room, only because the room you normally store your parts in is already full of wheels, tires, and parts. When half of your clothes have become "work clothes" because you forget to change before working on the car. When you spend all your time working on the RX-7 and have year-old (or more, I don't remember) oil in your daily driver. Hell, when you have a daily driver just so you can break or take apart your RX-7 and still have something to drive to get parts and supplies. When you are expecting multiple packages of car parts to arrive "any day now".

When your school uniform shorts have "Goodyear" spelled backwards from leaning over the fender and checking the oil. When you spend more time washing her than driving her. When you park so you can see her from your Algebra II class window. When your 18x12 in tires are almost worth their weight in gold.....god, i love this car.

When you've planned multiple ways out of getting your DD wrecked so you can use the money on the FD.

When you are about to basically drop out of college to:

-dump money into it
-work so you can dump money into it
-drive it incessantly
-work on it all night with your boys
-pursue a career somehow involved with it

I seriously think I need to re-evaluate my priorities. My FD is not my top priority, it IS my priority. Nothing else comes close. I may end up regretting my purchase of it somewhere down the road, but I don't care right now...I am too shortsighted and narrowminded to care. Someone please straighten me out.

...when you spend just enough money for 30 pack of $.17 ramen and the CHEAPEST smokes you can get...and the rest goes to the car.

...when you admit that your FD is a money pit and act like it's OK

...when you save just enough money to buy a dozen roses on Valentine's day...and give them to your car

...when you drive REALLY slow near dark buildings JUST so you can see a reflection of you in the car driving.

...when you USED to own an FC, and your other three friends who drive FD's pick on you every day for a year until you FINALLY save enough money and buy one.

When you're late to work because you are too busy driving your FD

When you're late to your girlfriend's beacuse you are too busy driving your FD

When you spend all your money that you earned by washing dishes, selling other fixed up cars, and selling off body organs to buy upgrades for your fd

When you wipe off and shine up your car everytime you stop

When you park it somewhere that can be seen from inside the building (work, house, mall, anywhere) and admire it anytime you get.

When you park it, get out and let your eyes fall over the smooth, gorgous body lines and let bad thought flow through you mind.

When you drive around very populated areas showing off your car.

When you are having a bad day, go out for a nice long ride, and all your troubles just melt away to the sound of the turbos, exhaust, blow off, ahhh, I want a new engine so I can have my car back.

When you install a APEXi Power FC, it doesn't get tuned right, your engine goes boom, and you feel like you lost a member of your family.

When your list could go on for ever, but you're too tired to keep typing because you spend all your spare time on this forum.

- you know you are obsessed when you are maimed and cant type with your hands, and instead are typing with your feet or maybe worse .

- you are typing nonsense (look above) and still aren't making sense.

- "huihrgdlhsdjfhgljksdhfg" actually sounds like a word that you can look up in the dictionary...

- someone please help me...
