You know you autocross too much when...
- You have to really concentrate not to slalom cones when approaching road work.
- You feel the need to put on a helmet when entering a parking lot.
- At a red light you inch your car forward to try to turn it orange.
And you are surprised when the light turn directly from red to green. - You blame your tires lack of grip when arriving late at work.
- You recommend Hoosier Wet as All Seasons tires.
- You unload your trunk, remove your mats and pop up your hood whenever you park your car.
- You look with envy at an old 89 Civic Si parked on the street while ignoring the Bentley next to it.
- You feel naked without a yellow wristband
- The first thing you ask a friend who's bought a new car is "How much does it weigh?"
- You think 13" rims are cooler than 20"
- You comment on the poor lines other cars in traffic are taking
- You know where Packwood WA is. By heart.
- Driving 1800+miles for 6minutes of driving at the destination is a no brainer
- the first thing you research in buying a new car is how well it did at Nationals last year
- the first thing you notice when test driving a new car is how much it understeers
- You've figured out how to remove the rear seats from your car
- You drive with the windows down, rain or shine, to lower the CG and hear what the tires are doing
- You know how to drain your wiper fluid reservoir
- you purposely try to late apex every turn on the streets
- you look for the weight whenever u got a car's spec sheet
- you think what's the max size of tires u can fit within fenders whenever u look at a car
- you think a stock miata can challenge Z06s, GT3s, and lotuses
- you think of R-comp tires you only think A6 & 710
- you think performance summer tires you only think XS/RS3/R1R/AD08/Starspec
- you don't want A/C or luxury package on your car
- you have a trailer at your house
- you set your goal to being a National Champ
- you won't put any kind of events, such as dating with girlfriend, on Sunday since you always leave Sunday free for autox.
- you late apex every single obstacle while you're walking/running.
- you simulate weight-transfer, steering input and gas input while you're walking.
- you look too much ahead while you're driving on the street.
- you think every family should have a towing/support vehicle.
- every time you reach into your jacket's pocket which you haven't worn for a while you find an autocross map.
- you save up your vacations for the SCCA national tour.
- you have a set of mini cones lying around on your office desk.
- you hear "autocross is gay" from cocky corvette and Porsche owners at least once a week.
- muffin top tires turn you on.
- every time you see an S2000 on the street, you check its tires first.
- every time you see a nice hatchback parked you look for a helmet in its rear compartment.
- you follow speed limit every where except in turns.
- you don't super size your meal thinking that if you do this ~1000 times you can have a new set of Hoosiers.
- you watch the weather channel 14 day forecast to see if you can run on your summer slicks, in the winter

You know you are AutoXing too much when you watch the weather channel 14 day forecast to see if you can run on your summer slicks, in the winter (wonder how many other people autocross in rain and snow)
