when you drive your bucket of rust gemini to work so that your freshly polished skyline doesn't get dust on it.

when your dad offers to let you drive his porsche, you say you don't want to downgrade and take your skyline

You know you drive a Skyline when pedestrian couples walk past you at a red light and they both check your car out. And you pretend you don't notice but secretly you love it.

You know you drive a Skyline when you wait around till it's warm in the morning, and till it cools when you get home, wasting time and petrol because you worry about hurting the RB.

You know you drive a Skyline when you're doing 60km/h in a 60 zone but constantly checking your mirrors for cops.

You know you drive a Skyline when you make a list of "to do's" and "mods" and leave it on your desk.

You know you drive a Skyline when you park, step out, and take a pic with your phone and people are watching you and wondering.

You know you drive a Skyline when you drive something else and realise how good your 'line is.

You know you drive a Skyline when you read this thread and laugh cause 99% of the posts you can relate to.

You have a several page exel spread sheet of "to do mods" with all the prices, part numbers, suppliers etc with totals down the bottom of each section - and it adds up to a lot more than the purchase price.

Guilty as charged your honour

When you spend 10 minutes explaining to your non-line mate about your desperate need for more negative camber and you get -> :D

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
