You know you've gone too far with your car when ...

[Vegaman]

The emissions test guy starts laughing as soon as you pull into their bay.
You see a picture of your car taped to the bulletin board at your local police station.
You have to go to the track to buy gas.
You're tempted to wear your fire suit just to drive to the office.
You get pulled over for doing 155 in a 35 but the cops will let you go if "they can look under the hood."
Your 'Significant other' won't even ride in the car.
There is no possible way to "sneak out" of your neighborhood at 6 am.
Your pets scramble for their hiding spots as soon as the garage door is opened
You find out that side mirrors don't hold up at speeds exceeding 145 mph.
You set off every car alarm in the parking lot cruising for a spot to park
You have every light memorized and timed so you don't have to stop and chance overheating.
Guys on crotch rockets won't race you.
You notice the wipers go straight up at 120 mph and won't go back down unless you're below 90 mph.

When you learn the hard way that you need bead-locks.

When the aerodynamic suction created by your hotrod sucks the back window right OFF.

When the harmonic balancer on your cast crank goes on vacation without taking the engine along, like an NFL field-goal.

When the guys who clean the track after oildowns regularly give you REALLY dirty looks. (insert ricer comment *here*)

When you start pricing wheelie bars. (or is that just far enough?)

When you realize (while towing out of the sand trap) that it WOULD have been smart to price a 'chute.

You hit the starter and the engine fires, causing the car to flip on it's side. A wider track width helps, I've been told.

When you hook up hard heading west, hit the nitrous button on your hemi, and all of a sudden, the sun goes down. And then comes right back up again. ;D
