TJ, you will appreciate this....
You know you drive an F-body when...
1) It takes you 8 hrs to change the spark plugs
2) You have to worry about breaking your rear end with even stock power
3) When you have to buy tires every year
4) Driving up the on ramp to the highway means wide open throttle,
ohyeah.
5) When you go under an overpass or through a tunnel you downshift into first and go full throttle because it sounds like an indycar
6) When you're trying to sneak out the house and you have to push your car about 2 1/2 blocks away just to turn your car on so you're not heard at home....
^ive done that, 2 1/2 blocks isnt far enough away! haha
7) You find yourself listening to the exhaust instead of the tunes
8) You can spot another f-body or vette from a half mile by the daytime running lights
9) When you take more pics of your car than anything else.
10) When you see someone you know... you drop it down into 1st, slowly roll by them, and tap the accelerator while lookin at them like "yea... you know you're impressed"
everytime
11) When you cruise thru the mall parking lots just to see how many car alarms you can set off
12) When you refuse to put on a front license plate cuz you gotta see that front bowtie
13) When you meet total strangers that have the same interest and act like old friends from high school..
14) Mullet is your hairstyle of choice
15) When you are always looking for more traction
16) When old people shake their fist at you.
17) When old guys give you a thumbs up
18) When you have to drive at an angle driving on to/up steep driveways and roads
19) When you secretly watch people in the parking lot as you start your car up... and you get a kick out of it when they turn to see what the hell that was
20) You completely disregard fuel economy and just drive for the hell of it
21) When you're waiting for your check to clear just so you can add another mod
22) When you tell people not to lean on your car
23) When you don’t mind people staring at your car
24) You drive pass an all glass building and just look at your car’s reflection
25) When you take the long way to a store just so you can have as much driving time as possible
26) If someone says "strange", you don’t think about it being weird. You think rear ends
27. Your always trying to find out what that "tick" is
no. there’s not ticks in my car
28. Your homepage is Ls1tech
29. Instead of trying to beat the red-light, you hope it turns red you so u can race from the line
30. When a conversation starter becomes "So what have you done to her?"
31. when you are coming to a dip in the road too fast, your stomach twists, and you involuntarily pick up your feet cuz you know the exhaust is about to scrape.

I don't even know if the radio in my car works. I'm trying to figure out something else cool to put in it's place

Most of the above apply to me. I don't think a set of tires would last me a year unless the engine is out for 10 months

Those are ones that apply to me. I think this is more a car in general thing rather than a F-body only.

You guys read between the lines. You guys win! Bottom line is we're all car enthusiasts, no need to bash others' cars. Regardless of what we drive, we still feel and act the same way about it. Most of us anyway.

I attempted to help Andy change plugs once. I said BUMP THAT! I'll stick to Fords! My big block car wasn't that hard to work on.

Lol, first time I did an LS1 I hated it. After that it's not that hard. Me and Ric did his in an hour. He did driver's side and I did pass side. I'd much rather do an LS1 than LT1. It took maybe 15mns to change P&Ws in '67 though, hahaha
