When you are driving along and somebody is turning right in the road and you can squeeze through the gap between the car and the kerb. Leaving the car that was following you struggling and eventually gives up and waits.

Doing an extra go round the roundabout with a massive smile on your face.

When you have the oldest car at your work and you couldn't care less that you are parked next to a 09 reg.

When you see someone in something like a porsche park badly so no one can park next to them. So you squeeze into that gap to prove a point.

When you wait smile when you put your windscreen wipers on because you know your passenger will laugh.

You also get used to giving your speech about your cars history, as well as 'yes thats a choke', 'if you press that it spins around', 'your trying to get out by locking and locking your door, just pull that handle', or if someone is waiting in the back and you say 'pull the nob the says PULL' to which the back of the seat flings and nearly knocks them out. 'nope that was the recliner'.


That had me in stitches, because i pretty much say that word for word, and i love my wipers, they make a tune, which makes me giggle the more i hear it.

I was waiting at some light before and i had dogs looking at my car... then they started barking lol must have thought it was a dog too haha.

we own the best cars. weather they start or not.

You can park as badly as you want, and still be in the lines :)
