You know you drive an F-Body if... - F-Body Online

your girlfriend/ wife knows to hold on/ brace her self when you are about to make a turn or an on ramp
you have pulled out a decibel meter to see how loud you exhaust really is to prove to you neighbors that its atcually in the legal limits
you refer to you car when its on jackstands as being in its natural state
you can actually cruise at 1200 rpm if you want.
people are always trying to familiarize with you saying "I had a sports car once, or I had a muscle car once..."
but somehow they've all sold them and now own a boring family car.
Moms pull their children closer in parking lots when you drive by.
you hate driving with all the SUV's, trucks, and Minivans on the road because you can't see past them at all
you have received more scratches and bloody knuckles from working on your engine than anything else in your life, combined.
You smoke 90% of the cars while normally taking off from a stoplight.
You cry more when your head gaskets blow then when you lost your girlfriend.
As much as you may hate fixing it, you always seem to wonder around it and mumble about what you are gonna upgrade next.
Getting every little ricer and their momma trying to rev at you at the light and then they take off.
Being told you're speeding down the street when you have it in 1st and going only 10-15.
You can justify spending all day claying/waxing the car but can't seem to find time to fix the broken door handle to your bedroom.
You spend $3500 on suspension and traction parts just to have everybody tell you to do a burnout.
or when your passenger complains of whiplash when you get on the entrance ramp to the freeway
you think your car is feeling slow until you give someone a ride and they practically crap their pants.
you swear there are no squeaks and rattles - even if it's only because the exhaust, wind/road noise, and stereo
system are too loud for you to hear them.
You can justify spending more on a trans and rear then the car cost
You understand parts letting go is part of getting faster
Your car gets sideways at the end of the on ramp to the freeway
you get lots of compliments from white trash chicks
your quarter panels mysteriously ding themselves up
your vibrating driveshaft gives your girlfriend the "Big O"
you have wet dreams about the LT4 Hot cam kit
you have to prop the armrest compartment up with a stick
you constantly say "yeah, but if my LT1/LS1 had a supercharger" whenever someone brings up the '03 Cobra
When you hit a car 12 feet away with your door when you get out
when you spend more time fixing your car than you do driving it
you drive WOT up to 135mph and then brake as hard as you can back to a stop, and your passenger is scared speechless and vows never to ride with you again
someone asks you why the transmission is slipping at WOT and then you tell them it's actually the wheels spinning into 2nd and 3rd gear.
when you see another car, you immediately look at its exhaust and its tire width.
You have more belts showing than tread.
People dribble the "invisible basketball" when you drive through residential neighborhoods. ... You know, the slow down thing ...
Your exhaust system is well over $500-$600 dollars
It never feels fast enough anymore
You make excuses to yourself to justify going WOT
you don't mind pulling up to a red light if your in the front, it's a chance to work on reaction time
If a passenger closes the door by pushing on the window you give them a 10 minute rant on how that will lead to rattles and NEVER TO DO THAT AGAIN...
you know where every speed bump within 50 miles is, and what angle you need to "attack" it from...
a loud ricer will make you physically sick...
you won't be seen near the "performance" section of the auto parts store because you know it's all neons and exhaust tips...

You call any cam with less than .55x maximum lift a baby cam.

I have a deal with people riding in my car- if it's a guy and he does it, first offense is a punch in the arm, second offense is a kidney shot, third is i pop them below the belt... nobody has yet to be dumb enough to get to offense #3

If it's a girl and she's hot- she's either gotta go on a date with me or hook me up with a friend of equal or greater hotness.
