Of course this was a corvette piece and I forgot to get one reference. It goes to show how much all car guys are alike. When I met my wife she thought all the pictures of enzo in my house was my dad. The first thing I asked her was whether her driveway was paved..... Â:-)

So how many of these things have you done? ÂI have to admit I have done 95% of these......

Â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ If you've ever bought a piece of clothing to "match the car." â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ If you have multiple cars in the family, but everyone refers to the corvette as "THE car" â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ You've driven an hour+ and had to take a day off work to buy a $10 car part (that does not affect the operation of the car in anyway) â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ If your car is 26 years old and you find out that it still has the original fuel filter, and you're HAPPY! â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ If you have more than one car, and the one that is 20 years older than the other runs 10 times better â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ If you know the exact DATE which your car was built (Jan 16, 1974) but forget your girlfriend/wife's birthday (Uh, I was going to get you something honey but I) â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ If you know the exact day you bought your car (April 3, 1999). But forget your anniversary. â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ If you've ever explained (in detail) to your girlfriend who "Dino" is â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ âIf you have 100% cotton towels for your car and you use old, worn-out ones in your bathroom. â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ ÂâIf you refer to your Ferrari as if it were your child. â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ If, instead of your spouse, you carry a picture of your car in your wallet.

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ You hang pictures of Ferrariâs in your GARAGE so she's not lonely. â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ If you go out to say goodnight to the Ferrari

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ âYou spend more time vacuuming the 20 square feet of carpet in your Ferrari than your 2000 square foot house. â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ Feel that you must scrub the underside, you never know, some mechanic may get the wrong impression of you if it's dirty. â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ Find yourself looking at your reflection in large plate glass as you drive by. â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ If a bird craps on it, you stop turn around and go home to clean it off. â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ You try to order a build sheet for your Ferrari

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ âYou have a window sticker hanging in your bedroom. â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ You think all Japanese cars are junk driven by young punk rice boys that want to race you â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ You think there's a chance it may rain.. I'll take the other car

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ SUVs aggravate you because they are bigger that you are.. â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ Even though you've never changed oil in any car you've ever owned, you want to do it on your Ferrari because nobody else knows how â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ You go to the drug store to buy cotton swabs for your car instead of your ears. â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ You cause traffic jams as you maneuver your Ferrari around a puddle of water in the street. â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ When nobody is looking, you talk to it and swear that it understands you

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ You get very depressed if you've been cruising all day and stopped many times but nobody comes up and says.. "Wow, nice Ferrari!" â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ You keep a shop manual in the bathroom for your reading enjoyment

Â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ If you understand that "Owning" does not necessarily mean "Driving".

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ You have one pair of sunglasses that are designated Ferrari shades. You never wear them while driving the "other car". â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ You spend half an afternoon and cause bodily harm to yourself trying to get that last little leaf that's stuck to your radiator through that little hole on the right side of the shroud. â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ If every time you talk about your Ferrari to ANYBODY, you say "The Ferrariâ instead of car. â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ If nobody under the age of 30 is allowed in your garage. âIf the weatherman predicts rain and you are VISIBLY upset. â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ You get upset when other Ferrari owners don't wave back. â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ You have more than one Ferrari picture in your house, in every room.

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ You wave at other Ferrari owners when you are out for your evening jog.

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ Your friends make sure they bring up your car more than you do, when you meet new people. â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ You tell everyone that you will drive yourself when a big group is going out even though there is plenty of room in another vehicle. âAnd everyone fights over who gets to ride with you. â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ You subscribe to Cavallino, Forza, Autoweek & Road & Track â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ You look at parts for other Ferrariâs no matter what model you have.

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ While looking to buy a house, garage space and condition is the first thing you look at. â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ You decline a night at the "gentlemen's" clubs with friends, because you need to be up early the next morning to get to the track. â

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ You grit you teeth, and scowl, every time you see a Porsche on the road.

ÂÂÂÂÂÂ Your 10 year old kid has been programmed to warn his little friends to stay away from the car without you having to prompt him.
