im not gonna read thru all of this so here is mine :

Your passengers tell you that your phone is ringing, then you tell them its not your phone, its just that your motor is turning 9k rpm...then they say "really, i could barley tell the motor was running" ahh the smoothness of the rotor motor!

When you almost crash from taking turns too hard because you're "trying to get the rainwater out of that dimple in the hood."

Every day you get in your car there is a random rattling that pops up in a different place each time.

How about when you have to argue with the garage thats doing your state inspection, when he says "its a 4 cylinder right" and you go "it has no cylinders" and hes like "well yeah its a 4 cylinder". And you shut up because rather than explain to him that you are not an idiot and he is, it is so much less work to simply say yes its 4, gimme my sticker

Can't say this one applies to me. The only rattle I hear in my car is my sunglasses in the overhead compartment. I have around 33,000 kilometres on my baby.

when you keep checking the gas gauge and see it go down before your eyes. And when you see that little orange light, it really means get to a gas station asap :P
