Default are you a SCCA nut

Just thought you might like to know your a SCCA nut if:

You think the primary purpose of wings is to PREVENT flight.
Take your helmet along when you go to a dealership for a test drive.
Every time you go to the grocery store you feel compelled to beat your previous best time.
Think it's normal to have the outside edge of your tires worn down. In fact,you prefer it because you have "better" traction now.
When something falls off your car, you wonder how much weight you just saved.
When you hear "overcooked it," instead of food you think "off the track."
Thoroughly enjoy showing the tailgater behind you how to drive around the highway off-ramp.
Once had an argument with your wife over whether you should pay the mortgage on time or get those new heads while they were on sale.
You push your cart through a proper line in the grocery store.
You've paid $4.00 a gallon for gas without complaining.
You bought a tow vehicle instead of braces for your kid.
You and your wife go house hunting and you never actually get inside the house because you are checking out the garage for 220v.
You sit in your car in the dark out in your garage and make car noises and shift and practice your heal and toe, while waiting for your motor to get back from the machine shop.
Your wife doesn't understand why you need three sets of tires for your car.
Your garage holds more cars than your house has bedrooms.
You have car parts in your cubicle at work.
Your registered for wedding gifts at Accessories Plus.
Your Christmas list begins with another set of Hoosiers and aluminum rack bushings, and your "significant other" knows what these are.
Your home library consists of auto parts catalogs, books written by F1 drivers, anything about Porsche, and 400 car magazines.
Your family brings a couch in the garage so they can spend some time with you.
You complain when cars in front of you on highway off-ramps don't stay on the line, causing your exit speed to drop.
A neighbor asks if you have any oil, to which you query, "Synthetic or organic?" and they reply ,"Corn."
You refer to the corner down the street from your house as "Turn One."
You always late apex the intersection and try to pass a few cars coming out.
You can't stand anyone telling others how to drive. Of course, you are the best.
You will gladly pay up to $8.00 for a quart of engine oil.
You hate long distance driving vacations, but you will gladly drive miles to a race track.
You think that Traction Control and ABS are for those who can't drive.
You save broken car parts as "mementos".You've tried synthetic oil and racing gas in your lawn mower.
You've tweaked your riding lawn mower to improve its cornering ability.
Instead of pictures in your wallet, you have time slips.
You would choose a rollbar over air conditioning if it were an option.
You know the "racing line" of every turn in your daily commute.
After you tell your wife where you'd like to go for vacation she answers: "Why...is there a race there?"
You have race shops programmed in your speed dialer.
You own five cars and only one of them is street legal.
Your brake rotors glow in the dark when you get home from work.
You get a volume discount at "The Tire Rack".
Your afraid to drive your car in the rain.
You fill your tires with nitrogen.
Your clutch is so stiff you need both feet to move the pedal.
You build a skid pad in your back yard to tweak your alignment settings.
You can launch your car in sixth gear and still smoke the tires.

"You push your cart through a proper line in the grocery store. "
-I just had that pointed out to me this February heheh! I hadn't noticed, but I really do.
"Your afraid to drive your car in the rain. "
-For a different reason, but yeah...I'm waiting for it to stop before I drive back to Austin.
"You refer to the corner down the street from your house as "Turn One."
-Actually, my neighbor came up with that one! But I've adopted it too.

Well three ain't bad. Pretty funny stuff!
