You know you are a SC owner when:

-You blew up your stock w58 thanks to boost.

-Wished that our cars came with r154s

You know you're an SC owner when:

You have nightmares about headlight condensation on a monthly basis.

You haven't touched your stereo system and it still sounds better than your friends cars that are 8 years younger.

You stop at a red light and everyone is staring at your car, not the brand new Cadillac next to you.

You know you're an SC driver when:

-Local PD is giving you a thumbs up for riding clean on HWY 17
-Your car has been impounded 3 times according to the state of California
-Attracts negative attention at a Honda meet.

or it might just be me.

- You've driven yourself nuts trying to figure out that BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP sound is when you turn off the car (its the sunroof open/tilted reminder)

- you keep spare driver side window regulators in your trunk

- you complain about WHY toyota decided to put a coolant line right under the TB above all those water sensitive spark plugs.

(I already had quite a scare when i was removing my TB. Forgot to put rags underneath and a good 2oz of coolant pooled over the #4-6 cyls.)

- you've mastered taking off the TB in less than 15min.

- You/a friend/GF/Wife etc. have been almost put into a coma by your trunk lid that you've been too lazy to fix the struts for.

(my trunk almost crushed this little kid's hand. My ex was getting something from the trunk, and the lil kid tried to reach in the trunk to get something at the same precise moment my ex let go of the trunk lid. THe trunk came down on that kids hand with a furious anger. Her hand was ok, just a little sore for a few mins)

I WOULD agree with the trunk lid one, except I USED TO HAVE THIS massive knot in my shoulder blade area that would not go away... well one night when i was going to gwt something out o the trunk, the lid fell and the little clamp right in the middle hit the knot dead on at full force, hurt like hell, but it went away that nigh! I had this knot for months mind you... True story. My SC is a masseuse.

My contribution:

You know you're an SC driver if:
-You think you're a "drifter" once you buy your car (not me personally).
-You think people are always staring at your car when they aren't.
-You'd rather waste gas and drive your SC on a nice day than take the family beater that gets 30 MPG,
-Your AC smells like a wet dog.
-You get sick of hearing about fogged headlights on the forums.
-People tell you to turbo your SC400 when you don't want to.
-You get tired of people telling you to lower your car when you JUST put your new wheels on.
-You get aggravated at people on the forums telling you to mod your car when you like it stock.

you know you're an sc owner when the only thing you dont pass is a petrol station

you dont turn left or right in an sc... you turn port or starboard

you get reminded by lexus/toyota just how big the car is by it playing that beep sound when you reverse the same way trucks do

going over speedbumps feels like the automotive equivalent of a steeplechase

everyone as far as the eye can see that is behind you can tell when your turn signals are on... sc rear turnsignals have even been sighted from space

but I still love it

You know you own an sc when your passengers ask you how you know if you are out of gas?

(My needle for gas is completely blacked out)
