when you spray your exhaust manifold bodycolor...

when you make your own rollbars without actually thinking what may happen if you were to roll it over...

when you have dual exhaust out the back of a mercury capri!!!

when you have 94 bumpers on a pre 94 capri a custom hood and bubble cover and you keep your hood closed to hide your tiny vj-11 turbo... and you keep the damn thing at STOCK RIDE HEIGHT...

when you talk for months about getting the AEM truboost guage/controller, and when you finally save the money to get it.. you go and buy 200 lbs of stereo equipment instead...

 when everything you have taken off the car somehow turns red before making it back on the car...

and last but not least.. putting a fishtank in a car of any kind...seriously... and then saying its ,quick, fast, a goer, powerful,torquey or any word other than heavy and slow...

I"m on that l1st.  My stereo is my mod.  I can say my passenger knows when we are going up a hill, because a peddling mechinism drops down and the passenger is expected to peddle to help get us up the hill.
