When you read incessant complaints and worries about stuff that's completely normal on their cars because 50% of the people driving the car are too young (or inexperienced) to know better.

When you wave to every other 86 on the road (similar to motorcyclists).

You know you own a BRZ/FRS when you have to shove drinks in your door.

Porsche sports car drivers (cayman, boxster, 911) do the same thing. I've also tried waving to 86 drivers, but I haven't had any wave back yet.

When you wash your car even though it will rain all week. (Can't stand to see it dirty!)

When you take the 'long way' home which involves plenty of twists and turns, practising rev matching and heel-toe. And then when your near your home you take a lap around your neighbourhood/block as a 'cooling off' period for the engine.

I usually get a wave back about 2/3rds of the time, but, maybe it is about expectations, they may not be expecting a wave from a Porsche driver. I have sometimes been caught off-guard by people I actually know or vice versa.

I DID get hit twice by semi's - rear ended both times. And get this: they happened 8 days apart. That was in my 99 camaro and then again in my brand new 08 altima 8 days later. If I think back about it hard enough I still can't figure it out.

Yeah, I was that white-knuckled asshole going 55 in the right lane on the freeway for a while.

The three that make me rage the most are "all intensive purposes", "could care less" and... number one... "noone".

When most younger <30 women driving tC's smile or wave to you and most men driving tC's put their eyes to the floor board.
