Default You know you love your scion to much when...

The purpose of this thread is to have other members "chime" in by adding things they think shows they love their cars too much or cars too much in general. So here's a way to start the list. On club4ag.com there is a thread like this with 100 pages and its fun to read.

You heel and toe on your way to the grocery store...
You speed up to other scions on the highway to find out its a 60 year old grandpa putting away...
You double clutch at every downshift even if you don't have to...
You look at your car every night right before you go to sleep...
You post about things like this...

When you start taking off random parts and cleaning or painting them because you don't have enough money to mod it any other way but still want to change it somehow. What a run on...haha

When you run back and forth between cars while washing them and kiss each car goodnight...so to avoid any jealousy.

When you do a walk around on your car every time before you get in it.
When you take 10+ glances at it when your leaving it in a parking lot

Well, I'm a 60 year old but not a grandpa.

I've had my 2006 Scion xA RS 3.0 for 6 1/2 years now and I have to admit that I don't love it, but then I don't believe I have loved any car. Hopefully I will soon be able to sell it. It's a nice car, but it's just a car.

You've worn through 2 heavy duty drivers side floor mats with the heel of your accelerator foot.

You spend more time with your Scion than you do with your wife.
