65. You downshift at least 4x more often than you need to....

What with a 3200GT, you'd have to go to hospital

66. When you drive a crummy van/car all week just to fund it (at the expense of the kid's education!!!)...
67. When you say out loud 'God I love this car' EVERY time you drive it!
68. When after 5 years of ownership you have no plans of letting it out of your sight.
69. Is just that!
70. When the wife knows about your Italian mistress and even approves!

 

[ManInBlack]

72. When you use the electric windows you pray they'll go back up.

 

[Felonious Crud]

73. When you use the electric windows as a volume control. And, unusually, down is better and louder
74. When you start hanging back as you approach a tunnel so you can play glorious musical tunes at various speeds for the length of the tunnel

84. Take up two parking spaces to avoid door dings..........or drive around the block to find a much larger/less risky parking space.

Cheers Wattie

School runs suddenly become exciting and must do's !

 

[BennyD]

MOTs and services become heart stoppers.

 

[GTMalc]

All MOT's are heart stoppers and always have been

 

[BennyD]

True, but I'd rather get 2 wishbones changed on a Ford Focus than a 4200! As we know, bills can run away pretty quickly on these things.

 

[GTMalc]

Yes I suppose so. The Classics tend to be just a weekend car only and as such don't wear out the same. My daily snotter along with my Mum's car now are my worries at MOT time. I'd rather go to the dentist. Mind you she is a good dentist
