...when your neighbors come out of their house when you're washing your car and tell you "you're going to wear the paint off that car".
...when this forum's down, you don't know what to do and go out for a drive.
...when you chase down other proteges you see on the road just to see if they've modded anything or try to talk to them.
...when you find modded proteges when you're out, you write down the license plate and look up who it is when you get home just to know.
...when you'd rather look at pics of the nice proteges on this site than watch porn.
...when you stay up late look at the same parts for your car that you've looked at hundreds of nights before again and again just thinking "one day"
...when you're at the movies and your date finally just tells you to just go check on your car.
...when you refuse to go get food for your sick girlfriend at the time just because its snowing and you dont want to risk damaging your car in any way.
...when you'd rather risk driving your protege for 15 hours to another state on bald tires than taking a plane.
...when your girlfriend asks "can we FINALLY take my car? just once?"
...when you wash your car more than you do laundry.
