YOU MIGHT BE A RACER IF …..

  • You walk proper lines through the grocery store.
  • You've been known to yell "It means 'check your
    mirrors' dammit!" at your television.
  • You've paid $4.00 a gallon for gas without
    complaining.
  • You buy new parts because you don't know where you put the spares.
  • You bought a race car before buying a house.
  • You bought a race car before buying furniture for
    the new house.
  • You're looking for a tow vehicle and still haven't
    bought furniture!
  • You find that you need a new house because you've outgrown your garage and the neighbours are threatening violence if you park one more vehicle on the street or in the front yard.
  • The requirements you give your real estate agent

are (in order of importance):
1) an 8 car climate controlled garage with an attached
shop.
2) Outside parking for 6 cars, a motorhome, a crew cab dualie, a 28' enclosed trailer and a 34' 5th wheel.
3) Three phase 220V outlets in the garage for your welder.
4) A grease pit.
5) Convenient to a hazardous waste disposal site.
6) Deaf neighbours.
7) Across the street from a paint and body shop.
8) Some sort of house with a working toilet and shower on the property somewhere -or- hookups for the motorhome.
