3. Your 'significant other' is afraid to drive your Stang.
4. You are afraid to drive your Stang.

27. Fuel is delivered to your home: in 55 gallon drums!
28. You carry earplugs in your Stang.

39. The earth slows in rotation when you hook up on your new slicks and head east.
40. You have to screw your slicks to the wheels.
41. Your exhaust pipes are larger in diameter than your driveline.
42. Your fuel pump flows enough to water a golf course.
43. Your compression's high enough you could run diesel fuel.

There is no such thing as too much power. There is only "not enough money". :bna


And as a Lightning owner, I feel discriminated against. :(

You have enough power if you can leave black streaks on the track from the exit of one turn through entry on the next.

You put your helmet on when trying on a new pair of glasses.
The car in the lane next to you wants a 2 sec. head start.
