You now you're a VL owner when..

[GLD-086]

Just like the "You know when you're a Commodore owner when.." thread, but for VLs.

[Kickars2]

when you write the car off doing 200 km/h
and a gum tree stops you.

[Shounak]

When it appears like no-ones driving the car, just the peak of a hat
When the seat's so far back you could have your arm sticking out the backseat windows
When you keep hearing the annoying BOV
When you try to drag every other make of car at the lights

More VLT, but anyway..

[Troy711]

you know you are a VL owner when you own a VL

[VRSS]

when you move your number plate to the side fo your bumper to get more airflow, therefore giving you an extra 5kw
