Or when you can't afford to buy your girlfriend flowers because you splurged on a new set of tires for a few auto-x weekends..
and it happens every other weekend...
Falkens are my roses..How come no one buys me flowers...
I'm glad you can relate, everyone else just thinks i'm an inconsiderate schmuck who'd rather spend time on 3 wheels than cuddling..I'm going to have to agree with them. The real tragedy is no real autocrossing down here. It just kind of floats from location to location..The only one that is close is about 40 minutes from me, and thats every 5 weeks..I guess I'm going to have to get a girlfriend, because I'll be god damned if I EVER get into drag racing. Which seems to be the main focus here. With Titan Motorsports and Central Florida Turbo literally next door, you can tell where the priorities lie. Although it is kind of cool seeing 9-11 second supra's everyday..
There is SO much autocrossing up here. Every weekend, sat&sunday. The local 50+ year old dragstrip is closing this year. I haven't been there in years. I wish I knew about the autocross years ago, when I had the mustangs and my Crown Vic...man that would have been fun.
All the crosses are 40-90 minutes from me....Wife wants to go, but doesn't like being embarassed. She's pretty good, we did the Rev-it-up on our anniversary last year (another good example of a car enthusiast)
My kids love the cars and speed too, they're getting started early....they went ot the autocross saturday...

Well in CT I went every weekend. Since I've moved down here, I've been itching.

when i'm driving at night i guess the cars behind me based on their headlight patterns. you know you're getting good when you can spot a civic with ghetto apc projectors 3 cars behind you at 1 in the morning. my wife thinks i'm a dork.
as a side note, you know you're an enthusiast when your wife says nitrous is for cheaters.

When by the time casual car lovers start talking about new models, you've already seen the prototype, the debut, online reviews and tests in Car & Driver, Road & Track, or whatever your personal car mag of choice is.
When your wife start spotting your dream car for you. (Currently Mazda6 5-door)
When you throw out all of your old magazines except the car ones.
