Signs that imports are taking over your life

[Glenjo]

You can spot a front mount intercooler from 2kms away.

You spend an hour at a party talking to someone you just met about the different versions of the 2JZ-GTE and fail to notice your missus leave.

Power oversteer is not the preferred way around a corner, it is the only way.

You feel jealous when you see an exhaust larger in diameter than yours. Even if it is on a truck.

Your bodykit generates more downforce than Schumacher's Ferrari.

The _expression "We built with spartan air" not only makes sense, but you know exactly where it comes from.

To you designer gear doesn't mean Hugo Boss or Armani, it means Jun, Trust, HKS, Apexi, Blitz, GReddy.

You intend naming your firstborn RB26DETT. Boy or girl.

Your insurance payments are larger than your mortgage payments.

You are deaf from too much exhaust noise, but can hear an external vent blow off valve from 4kms away.

You have no idea who won the football on the weekend because you were too busy downloading JGTC lap times.

The timing of milestones in your life are remembered by linking them to release dates for Evo Lancers.

Your car has more stickers than your bank account has dollars.

Reigning champion to you doesn't mean Marcos Ambrose it means Youichi Imamura.

You know that four wheel drives can break traction under hard acceleration because you do it daily.

You think the terms "significant other" and "emotional attachment" refer to your car.

You have more gauges in your glove box than most people have in their cars.

Despite the fact yours in the only car within 100 metres, you fold the wing mirrors in when you park up at the shops.

You don't know how much it costs to post a letter, but all air freight charges ex Japan are committed to memory.

Your last relationship broke up after a nasty argument as to whether a Sileighty was better than a Onevia.

You think of someone as stupid because they don't know the difference between a series 7 & a series 8 RX-7.

Your vote in the next election will be solely determined by who is promoting the least restrictive import regulations.

You don't just have a preferred mechanic, but a preferred wrecking yard, parts importer, vehicle compliance centre, insurance broker...

Your living room is painted prodrive blue. The furnishings are gold.

You support Brad Jones because he once drove at Bathurst in a Starion..
