1. Your motor/wheels/suspension costs more then your car.
Well I got the car for 350..so thats not hard.
9. You can find the main relay in the dark, blind folded
With my hands behind my back. Which is about what trying to remove the damn thing is like.
13. You have broken into your car using a license plate
ACTUALLY...I used a screwdriver and a stick I found on the ground...only because the scredriver wasnt quite long enough.
17. Swapping a sohc motor is actually a HP gain
Y8 BABY!
19. You're only using 3 mounts
Hasport hydro kit, no choice.
20. You know where to put your drink while you are driving
The space between the seat and ebrake isnt a cupholder?!!
21. You can name why and the location of every rattle that goes on
Hell yeah I can. I caused every one of them.
23. You make sure the seat belt is fully retracted when closing the doors so that it doesn't pop holes into your door panels.
Seat belt bites blow ass. Belts in doors though are win.
24. You have ever tried doing a rear disk brake conversion on a 90 hatch with 20 year old bolts on your back with a hand ratchet
Done and DONE.
25. You walked outside in the morning with one eye on your driveway saying "damn I hope no one stole my 20 year old pride and joy"
The damn car is so small I CONSTANTLY think its not in the spot where I left it in parking lots...until you get 5ft from it and finally see the back end.
32. You dread summer rains with no a/c
But I do have AC... I installed it!
35. Your daily driver IS your project car
Truth.
36. Every time you shut your hood you realize the white plastic clip that holds the hood prop is broken and it pisses you off yet the 20,000 times you were in the junkyard you forgot to grab one.
EVERY goddamn time!!!!
39. You release the hatch with the floor lever only to find the rumble of shutting the door re-latched the hatch.
Actually its the pressure wave in the car, and it sucks..since you have to close the doors pretty hard.
42. You've done a rear disc brake conversion
43. When going into VTEC feels like the car is going to break up into a million pieces... and you wouldn't have it any other way
For sure...theres some vibrations that shouldnt feel good, but do.
45. You know you locked all the doors but cant stop thinking about it
46. Your clutch pedal squeaks
@!#^&$*%@^
52. You get excited every time you see a Hatch/Sedan/CRX at the junkard.
I get giddy.
53. When you think your car's stolen when you come out the store, but it's just parked between 2 cars.
Mentioned this earlier.
54. You can't wait to rock the blue antique tag.
With pride.
56. When even though you drive a hatch, you cringe at the idea of backseat passengers.
Only if speed bumps or passing people are involved.
60. When you have to slam the door for it to close correctly

How about 61.Your drivers side left bolster has a rip in it, and your passenger seat looks new.
How about. Most stock parts for any other car, are an awesome upgrade on yours..

Might own an EF When:
1. When restoring your car back to factory original is actually upgrading it...
2. When you have trouble pawning off all those Ricey Parts that were so popular 5-10 years ago.
3. When you have to Explain to your friends why you car is so Awsome.
4. When you wish the USDM models had Power Windows, Locks & Mirrors.
(Why Only the Sedans?)
5. When you can brag how fast your car goes, and then brag how little $$$ it take to fill it and what good MPG it gets.
6. When You wish hatch struts weren't so expensive, because there is a lot of other stuff you need to fix first.
7. When you realize that you have to go for cool Aluminum racing wheels, because there is no way your going to fit 24" Chrome Wheels on you ride.
8. When every V8 Car wants to race you because someone else in an actual fast EF allready beat them and now they have something to prove.
9. When Other people in traffic Lack the respect for you Tiny Monster that can not only out run them, but can out handle, and cut through traffic way better and still takes only 10 gallons from E.
10. When You Have become a MASTER E-Brake Drifter.
11. When Your dream car is a Mint Black 90-91 JDM SiR CRX w/left Hand Drive w/glass top & arm wrest & power options.
12. When You Keep Your 13" Steel Stockies as back up wheels.
13. When having a passenger is nice, because they can Adjust your mirror, close the window & lock the door for you.
14. When you realize that The Nicest ones left are owned by little old ladies that bought them because they were so cheap and economical.
