    When your daily way to your office goes like:
    - start the engine and warm up the oil
    - check the tire pressure since the engine warms up
    - put the BELL helmet on
    - slipp over the OMP gloves
    - start at your house – first straight goes full throttle up to 3rd gear
    - first turn 90° left 2nd gear
    - full throttle 3 miles
    - break hard, shift down 180° right turn, first gear
    - highway – pedal to the metal
    - ignore all signs (this are just & only RECOMMENDATIONS!)
    - overtake/pass the racecontroll a.k.a. the cops on the highway
    - highway excit, break hard, shift down 2nd gear, slide & drift the 240° right turn
    - cool down the breakes and engine for the last mile till you arrive at your office
    - done :D……….now relax, have a nice day and prepare the rest of the day for the race back home.

    I do that as well :)

    I can usually tell what kind of car it is from almost a 1/4 mile behind, just by seeing his tail lights.

    You own the right car before a house.
    You choose to live where roads are good.
    evrywhere you travel you rate in terms of driveability.
    you have no problem waking at dawn on a sunday so you can drive.
    you think a $3500 suit is ridiculous, but a wheel tire exhaust upgrade is reasonable.
    when your wifes car is an appliance for transport, but you would cringe at the thought of parking any of your cars in public places full of appliance car philistines.
    when 99% of drivers are phlistines with no appreciation, and occasionaly you meet people who seem to understand and even they lack total car focus
    When you discover your kindered sprits inhabit F-Chat.

    Oh yes and you can distinguish the silhouete of a crown vic(cop car) at great distance and always look to see whther it has blackwalls(cop) or whitewalls(civillian)
    When the best fun you have had in a long time was 3 hours going up the blue ridge parkway and even the cop at the end did nothing to dampen your good mood.

    When there's two of us and we have 7 vehicles on our auto insurance policies.

    When each one has a name ("Sophia", "Kermit", "Kaspar", "Big Red", "The New Truck", "Your Little Truck", "White Diamond" (aka "Whitey") and driven on the days which best suit their personality.

    If you are coming up on one from behind ,you look for rear anti roll or sway bars.
    usually there is a heavier black presence under the axle.

    To do the Monterey tunnel right, you come in from the side street between the sport center and the parking garage. This leaves a sizable gap when the light turns green.

    About a month ago I found another black 355 Spyder down on Alvardo and we made our way towards the tunnel. We hit it just right with no one in front of us........
