#35 The turbo'ed Honda in the other lane is grabbing third gear before you're even done pulling through your tall first gear, and he's still falling behind. #36, when he catches you at the light and gives you the one-finger salute to tell you you're number one! #37 The light turns green, but you sit there smoking the tires, just to watch people's faces. #38 Every turbo diesel pickup thinks you're easy prey, until you leave them crying for their mommies. #39 you're racing a new Cobra, and the cop pulls the Cobra over, letting you go, probably assuming the Cobra was passing you. #40 All females lose any interest in you and call you names the instant the idea of a Camaro enters their heads. (Gimme good old '79, when every female wanted a guy with a Trans Am)

When you can do 0-60 faster than you can roll up both your windows.
But I'm also guilty of most of those mentioned in the original lol
Haha, oh god that is hilarious, because everyone knows its true.

If the Cobra was winning, you need to learn how to drive.

I am soo guilty, on ramps and underpasses, and i almost always go under the speed limit and I have old people here near me, hell even younger married people too yell stuff like slow down.

#38 You live in an area so saturated with rice burners you get a thumbs up from the cops because you have a "Real" car.

Parking garage one yup I play the who has a car alarm game everytime, and I watch cause the parking garage I am in most of the time is a mall in a town with a lot of asians (Arcadia, CA.) and I have seen some asian guys but mostly asian girls jump when I have started my car up, really cracks me up.

Never had to push my car but then again I am in my mid 20's and was not a fortunate kid to have parents who could buy me a camaro when i was young enough to have to "sneak" out.

#39 - When you hide your keys when you're out of the house so in case of an emergency, no one can drive your car.
