...instead of accelerating after making your turns, you realize you can now accelerate into them.

...you find you're now ordering car wash and car wax by the barrel.

...you realize you're now comfortable in small, dark, enclosed spaces.

You constantly whisper to your girlfriend/significant other sitting beside you 'race car'

grandpawmoses · 08-08-2014, 07:47 AM

The valets fight each other to see who gets to park your car

Mustang drivers look away from you when you stop at a red light beside them

Mustang drivers girlfriends look at you when you stop at a red light beside them

When asked at the drag strip "That's a V6 in your car? I reply "Yep and it's stock" Then the V8 pony guy walks away shaking his head.
