    Default How do you know you own a cr@p car

    You lose at the stop-light challenge to a 96-year old on a scooter.
    When you fuel up, the attendant asks, "Can I re-duct tape that windshield for you?"
    While waiting at a stop-light, people run up asking if anyone was hurt.
    For the last five years, you've had to settle for making "vroom-vroom" noises while sitting in the driveway.
    You keep losing dates on right turns.
    Traffic reporters are starting to refer to you by name when discussing peak hour traffic.
    Your tires are balding faster than John Howard.
    The engine burns more oil than fuel.
    You wouldn't mind if you were car-jacked.
    You judge suitable parking spaces by the degree of downhill slope.
    You have the local tow company on speed-dial.
    The engine catches fire and you don't notice anything wrong until the fire truck pulls you over.
    You can leave your car parked, unlocked, with the keys in the ignition, and not worry about it being stolen.
    Public transportation starts to look good.
    The city sends you a notice requesting that you remove the "abandoned vehicle" from your driveway.
    Even homeless people look derisively at your car.
    Every time you start your car, the local smog index jumps a whole point.
    The local mechanic says that doing a tune-up is just "throwing good money after bad."
    You double the value of your car every time you fill the tank.
    The 8-track tape deck finally eats your last tape.
    When you try to sell it, Local Shopping Centres won't accept your ad because they "have a reputation to protect."

    lets go. some good some sad mostly done in 6minutes.

    when the vacume bottle holds more pressure than the tires.

    when your window winder breaks and you complain that the AC just died.

    you claim the squealing brakes are because its not warm yet

    the clutch slips less after applying some teflon

    its got more decibels than horses.

    your essential toolkit includes: a bottle of whisky a gameboy and a phone that can only receive calls

    bodyroll takes on a very scary new meaning.

    it acctually can run on hopes and dreams.

    cops are tired of defecting it and just let you around in it [ yeah right! ]

    when starting it in the morning even begging doesnt work

    [pardon if this is offecensive to anyone, let me know, ] its being referred as being such a bomb that even terrorists are taking an interest at the buy price

    you can double the speed simply via drafting that old hatch up front

    it can stop on an airfeild, not a dime.

    getting sideways is slowly becoming second nature

    james bond once used it for its oil slick system

    chuck norris couldnt defeat it/ [ i had to add a chuck joke im sorry ]

    over 20 mechanics know you by name.

    after an inspection the RAC declared that it will be classifyed as a rock and therefore is uninsureable.

    the ECU runs dos.

    crashes and scraps straighten the panels

    stickers acctually add horsepower

    and im about out so i'll leave it at that.
    attn Über geeks, i play Second life. Patrio Graysmark.

    When you are at the Transfer Station (Rubbish Tip), scroungers start removing parts from your car.

    any rice bubble is a cr@p car (it's nice to say that) hehe. i simply can't stand those rice bubbles such as hyundai excel's, daewoo's etc - hopeless body kits, dark bonnets to make it look like it's carbon fibre, absolutely massive 15 inch rims...hehe, air vents on the bonnet...........and the car really does have "more decibels than horses"
