You get worried when your winter car doesn't burn oil.

You get pulled over ... it's not for speeding but to check out your car.

- when you've spent more on cleaning products for your 8 than you have all of your past vehicles combined

- when you buy a 2nd vehicle to drive to and from work to keep the miles off of your 8, but you end up driving the 8 to work anyway

- when you leave the movie theater and go to your car and can't figure out why your keyfob or key won't work in your Nordic Green 8 because you KNOW it's the only one in town only to find out that yours is 5 spaces away and is no longer the only Nordic Green in town

You're driving a rental car (for any reason) and you find yourself thinking like you do when you're in your 8:

"I need to get in the other lane and turn soon but that other car is in the way... it doesn't matter, I can take 'em!"

and you proceed to drive like you're in your 8, speed up, pass by a margin and smile!

... When you're with friends and you have to all go somewhere, everyone fights over who gets shotgun.
... when people who you don't even know, know what car you have. They find out through other people talking about your car.
... When every weekend you spend atleast 3 hours washing and waxing

LMAO, this is so true. I'm driving a rental right now but people I don't know come up to me and say, "Don't you drive that small hot red car?" I smile big and say, "Yep! That's mine!" :D

When you enjoy that conversation:

"How may cylinders does it have?"-- "None." -- "But how does it move than????"
