I saw a funny thread on the EF forum (spinoff of the "you might be a redneck if..." jokes) and some of the things were sooooo true, so I thought I'd start one for itr owners here to relate to.

Some of these things are really hilarious.

I'll start:


You might be an itr owner if.....

you get out of bed in the middle of the night to go check on your car

you do a full walkaround of your car after coming back to it when going out to eat/ shopping/ etc

you drive a broken down pos beater rather than take the itr to the movie theater

you bum rides from your gf so your car won't sit outside some club

you refuse to drive your "summer/ track tires" in the rain (really just to keep rain from getting on your precious paint)

you flame everyone for not autoxing/ road racing

you catalog your door dings mentally

you have your next 15 mods/ $10k in mod money already planned

you know the difference between 96-spec and 98-spec

you know the difference between a 4.7 and 4.9 final drive wrt top speed and autox - AND you can cite the advantages/ disadvantages for intended usage...

you removed your rear seats - not for weight savings, but to easier install a cage/ rollbar + prevent passengers from ever sitting in the back


I could go on an on, but let's hear what you guys have...

You drive all spring/summer/fall on your track tires/rims/spec VR pads. Rain too.

 

you can rattle off your VIN like its your SNN

 

Everytime you see a 92 Civic hatch you think, THIEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Owning a Type R is like a dream..............when you wake up it's gone!!!!!!!!!!!

If you dont let anybody work on your car, even do the oil changes
If nobody drives your car but you
You get pissed when people put drinks in your cupholders
You would rather sit at home and do nothing than going to a fun party in a shady area

 

You treat your RRR like a rare Ferarri even though it's only a $2x000 car!

 

I actually do most of that ****. *runs outside to check on car*

&lt;----who wonders if he is really THAT sick..........

lmfao .. thats almost me exactly. i get paranoid

 

all of the above and always checking to see if those red emblems are still there
after being away for any long amount of time

 

- you know how to pack eight track wheels/tires and all your track gear in the hatch

- you check your oil every time you fill up the car with gas, and you keep quarts and funnels inside the car

- you know the paint codes without having to do a search

- you know which color ITR is imaginary

- you can name the five most common tires used on the ITR, and the prices and advantages and disadvantages of each

- you know the real name of the "suede" fabric

- you spend more time on the internet arguing about different viscosities of oil than you do actually changing your oil

- you refer to your basement as the "tire warehouse"

Alcantara....Ohhhhhhhhh.......

 

When people see you walking to your car, someone always comes up to you and asks you "is it real?"

 

you know you an itr owner.. when:

- cruising rpm is almost where other cars have redlines
- you're used to rear view split (curtesy of spoiler)
- at some point start to do work yourself
- sometimes wish you had cruise control on longer trips
- unable to keep your car stock
- avoid shitty roads

 

if you have nightmares about your car getting stolen. , i had one so bad last night i could see the people breakin the window to get in and i woke up and couldnt go back to sleep

- you shift your body up and down occasionally while driving so that you can see whether or not any of the cars behind you have a light bar on the roof.
