When I am on minor roads especially the twisties I am looking ahead to make sure there are no parked cars that might be police cars with radar.
I totally respect the speed limits in the city but country roads I find tempting....

You park it and realize its great fun and need to drive it more.

So... you have a hidden camera in my house, or you're talking about yourself?!

When people ask what kind of car you drive and they raise their eyebrows slightly at your response. Then they ask if they can drive it.
when driving on the interstate and someone tries to race you and you very easily outdistance them in a few microseconds
when you realize you are the only car in the parking lot with a parking ticket out of all the cars that don't have a permit.
when the best part of your day starts somewhere around 4000 rpm

When....Your thinking of moving, and property search consist of being at least the normal operating temperature (distance) from your place of employment.

When your phone has 14 pix of your kids and almost as many pix of your car.
When your first thought upon hearing a good song is thinking "I wonder how this will sound in my car?"
Your assessment of the day's weather is "Top up day" or "Convertible weather!!"
