Default Typical Cobra Owner . . . can you relate?

I know I have too much horsepower because:


1. The emissions test guy starts laughing as soon as I pull onto the rollers.
2. I can't drive my car in the rain.
3. My 'significant other' is afraid to drive my car.
4. I am afraid to drive my car.
5. I spend more on tires than on food.
6. I spend more on car insurance than on house payments.
7. I looked in a state police car and saw a picture of my car taped to the dash.
8. I throw my underwear in the garbage rather than the hamper.
9. I have to go to the track to buy gas.
10. My mechanic names the new wing of his shop after me.
11. Jacques Villeneuve and Michael Schumacher wave me by.
12. I can make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.
13. I'm tempted to wear my fire suit just to drive to the office.
14. Red signal lights shift to green as I'm approaching then shift back to red as I'm receding.
15. I arrive sometimes before I left.
16. I get pulled over for doing 155 in a 35 but the cops let me go "when I let them look under the hood."
17. I removed the stereo system to save 6 lb. of weight.
18. I am not allowed to run in the Silver State Challenge.
19. I get an anonymous phone call asking if I'm interested in being in the Cannonball Run.
20. My face looks like I'm riding a NASA centrifuge when I drive the car.
22. I need a parachute for braking.
23. 'significant other' won't even ride in the car.
24 There is no possible way to "sneak out" of my neighborhood at 6 am.
25. My pets scramble for their hiding spots as soon as the garage door is opened. (Pets, and all the neighbors...)
26. Family photos throughout the house are replaced with life-sized posters of my car.
27. Fuel is delivered to my home: in 55 gallon drums!
28. I carry earplugs in my car.
29. The only spot on the car which receives any regular cleaning is the windshield. (what else is there to clean???)
30. I find out that side mirrors don't hold up at speeds exceeding 145 mph.
