When you fire the thing up and start looking for the John Deer tractor making the noise in your garage.

When you have to make excuses to your car friends for how ugly the engine looks in this car. No one will ever open the hood on these things to show of anything under there!

When it feels like the rev limiter comes on at 3000 rpm but then gets over it until it hits it again at 7000 rpm. And you are only going like 25 mph

When you wonder how long it would take to get rid of the sound tube that makes the horrible moaning noise into the cockpit

When you wonder if the second gear you are about to pull will finally be the one that kills the gearbox with whatever bad stuff is going on every time it graunches into that gear.

When you need a flagman to back out of your driveway so you don't run over the munchins walking to the school next-door.

When the goldfish living in the taillight seems perfectly happy with the water level.

When your realize that this is a three gear car on any autocross course that should only need 2 gears.

When you can't wait for the OE tires to die so you can justify getting some real rubber.

When you have to hit the button for sport mode before the car is worth driving.

When you sure as hell need to make sure traction control IS engaged when it is wet.

When despite all the above crap, you still enjoy driving the car because they got the weight and handling matrix down perfect.
