You know your a Car Enthusiast when....

When you can state within two year accuracy the Brand/Model of every car you see on the road, and feel compelled to state the differences between trim levels. I'm not talking about sports cars, - I'm talking about the factory sleepers.

"OOoooh, that's a 2000 Bonneville SSEi - 240hp/280tq Supercharged"

I'm a member of that club. Every car I see, I make a mental note.
 
When you remember friends better by what car they drive instead of names.

When your cell phone contact list looks like:

Mom
Joe S2k
Tony MSP
Jake P5
Dane Viper
Rob WRX
 
when your girlfriend who isnt a car person hears you talking so much she starts criticizing ricers without thinking and says things like "all show no go" unsolicited.
 
when you wince everytime you see a huge wing... or does that make me just a ricer hater?
 
when you have a sixth sense that a nice car is around. i can feel if an sti is near.(wow)

you look at a car magazine and you get upset when the Import model is blocking your view of the car. And you say to your self....MOVE your ass out the way. ! I wanna see the damn car!

when you can tell the difference between a 5.7L Camaro starting up and a 5.0L Mustang just by the sound of the exhuast

when you can tell what kind of car is driving by hearing the factory exhaust.

when you significant other thinks you love your car more than you love them.

when you know whats wrong with your car, without having to look, by the noise it makes.

Sadly, reading these replies, I find myself going yeah I do that too, to most of them...
 
when you spend countless hours on a forum about cars, patting eachother on the back when you could be out driving.

.. when you walk in the door of your apartment and are immediately tripping over aftermarket parts you have yet to install.

.. when you hear an exhaust system somewhere nearby and instantly abandon whatever you were doing to investigate.

.. when your 'to be completed' mod list is longer than your 'completed' mod list, no matter how much you've already done/spent.

.. when you get your paycheck, the first thing you start contemplating is what car part to buy.

.. when you park at the farthest, most remote corner of the parking lot so that other cars/people won't come near your ride -- no matter how far you have to walk to the store.

.. when you've gotten into a fight or seventy over your ride, someone else's ride, or something to do with cars.

That also looks familar except mine is 40 people from NEPOC, so its a lot of proteges. Not to mention a lot of random forum members. Then random cat's you meet at the track. I have lots of of "so and so" Supra or "so and so" megasic rx7.
 
Hmmm... this may fall more under forum addict but, you spend so much time obsessing about your car on a forum that you know people by their online name by heart but can't for the life of you remember their given name when you see them at meets. :p

especially when you are by your self are you are saying this out loud
 
You're typing up a purchase order # that begins MXP... and you repeatedly type MSP... instead.
