The emissions test guy starts laughing as soon as you pull into their bay.
Your 'significant other' is afraid to drive your Jeep.
You spend more on tires than on food.
Your insurance company had to create a whole new actuarial table to cover you and your vehicle.
Your insurance agent sends 'Thank You' postcards from Tahiti.
You have ever argued with your wife over making the mortgage payment or buying that new set of leaf springs while they're still on sale.
Your local city council has passed an ordinance making it illegal for you to even enter a school-zone unless you are on foot.
Traffic advisories are issued whenever your car is spotted during rush-hour.
You have 4X4 shops on your telephone speed-dial.
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
Fuel is delivered to your home in 55 gallon drums.
You measure the fuel you use in "gallons per mile".
The local airport complains about the noise coming from your garage on Saturdays.
You get upset when your kid only gets a 'C' auto shop but not when he flunks math or english.
You consider ABS and traction control as options for the 'driving impaired.'
You're registered for wedding gifts at www.4X4parts.com
You buy new parts because you can't remember where you put the spares.
You bought another jeep before buying a house.
You find that you need a new house because you've outgrown your garage and the neighbors 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) 8 vehicle climate controlled garage with an attached shop.
2) Outside parking for 6 cars, a motor home, a crew cab dually, a 28'enclosed trailer and a 34' 5th wheel.
3) 3 phase 220V outlets in the garage for your welder.
4) A grease pit.
5) Convenient to a hazardous waste disposal site.
6) Deaf neighbors.
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 motor home.
You know that Orthodontic work is the equivalent of three sets of tires.
You look at the purchase of tools as a long term investment.
Your wife says, "If you buy another set of tires, I'm getting a new mink."
Your garage holds more cars than your house has bedrooms.
You have enough spare parts to build another Jeep.
More than one parts supply house recognizes your voice and greets you by name when you call.
You have parts in your cubicle at work.
You have a separate drawer for 'garage clothes'.
Your criteria for selecting a significant other include auto repair skills. Air tools optional.
Your family remembers your hair color as "grease".
You astound the clerk at Sears by bringing in a snapped breaker bar every other week or so.
You enjoy driving in the rain or snow on the way to work or school.
You will gladly pay up to $8 for a quart of engine oil.
You save broken parts as "mementos".
You spend more time polishing your exhaust tip every day than you do bathing.
You would choose a roll bar over air conditioning if it were an option.
You consider the redline a "conservative suggestion" and the rev limiter "a fun limiter"
Your idea of a good time is sitting around figuring out gear ratios and the ideal final drive ratio for given situations.
When someone refers to "The Good Book", you think of "The Auto Math Handbook"
You own five Jeeps and only one of them is street legal.
You quote your street tire wear life in weeks rather than miles.
You regularly live test your rev limiter on that straight that's a little too long for 2nd but not worth going into 3rd for.
After you tell your wife where you'd like to go on your vacation she answers: "Why... is there a 4X4 event there?"
