Default You know you own a Boosted G / Z when.

I started this thread in the Gdriver forum, and figured it would make you guys laugh too, since it directly applies to you as well :P


When your G/Z spends more time on the lift then it does on the road.

Everytime you start your car, you turn on your headlights and press the Traction button.

When you jizz your pants when you see another G35C/Z on the road, and you have to get close enough to them so they can hear that your boosted... and When they do their face lights up just as much as yours does!

When you look in your rear view mirror everytime you go into boost looking for white smoke.

when your g/f thinks you love the car more than her and you spend more $ on the car then her as well,

You know the cel code you just threw with out having to hook up up the OBDII.

You finally have a smile on your face everytime you get in your car for a drive or step away from it and take a look back...(regardless of how broke it's making you)

When your passenger asks you "what's that sound?" and you say "which one"...

When u drive without the radio on cause u think u heard something weird and ask the passenger to shut up

When you drive by a building with mirrored windows and almost rear end parked cars repeatedly because you can't stop staring at your car in the reflection.

When Your wife/GF is used to hearing you yell, "**** my ride sounds sweet!"

When you spend your breaks at work checking whats new on Gdriver or typing in "Turbo G35/Z" on youtube to see if theres anything new.

When you are about to go through a tunnel or parking garage you open your windows, and your sunroof and try to see how many car alarm you can set off.

you're filling up today even though you just did yesterday, yet you have no remorse.

You pull into a friends Garage, see a Gallardo, Espirit V8TT, Testerrossa, SLK55 AMG, Countach, and a Ducati Monster, and you SWEAR you can pull on them all.

Have a friend (that you trust and not an idiot) to drive your car so you can see it in action.

MeanZ-
I respect others vehicles. And u wouldn't appreciate it if I put tha thing into a tree I wouldn't think. Lol. Those 13" rotas were extremely light so I knew to be a little cautious. When u bring the new z back-I'll push it to the limit if u want me to.

I'm not even boosted and I drive with the windows open and radio off just to listen to the air intake/plenum. It makes really cool sucking noises that confuse passengers! I am told this is because I have a cone filter? Who cares it sounds neat. I want a SC though. :-)

These are so true!

When you realize you could've bought a GT-R, C6 ZO6, CTS-V, Viper, M3/M5 with cash.

When you are told your exhaust sounds awful...

Your realize you should've bought a used lambo...

Your invested money is inversely proportional to the miles you drive the car...

You scare small children, can't find traction below 60.

Trap 130+

... When your lap times depend on knowing how to control a throttle and not just mashing it down on every exit like the NA *ahem slow cars do.
