Should be fun to hear about the crazy stuff we all do to and for our cars. :)

Alright I will go first.

...when you've spent more money modding your car than the car cost new. :beer:

When you'd rather spend an evening in the garage building a motor than inside with your wife/girlfriend.

When you are getting granite countertops and travertine backsplash installed in the kitchen and ceramic tile floors in the bathrooms (three separate appointments) and you tell the workers they have to reschedule if it's raining because they absolutely positively cannot use your garage as a covered shelter to cut the granite and tiles.

So far I had to reschedule the bathrooms and luckily enough, the granite guys came tonight to do the kitchen and it didn't rain. But if it's raining tomorrow morning, I already told the backsplash guy that he would have to reschedule cause he needs to cut tiles, too!

When you stop at a red light and immediately hit the trunk release button, to obtain the glass cleaner and microfiber cloth to remove that pesky spot on your windshield.

When you are better acquainted with people on car forums than your actual friends of several years.

When you talk about your car and people have no understanding of what you are saying because you speak with words like (LS1, 427, C5, TT, etc)
