You Are a Track Nut, if...

[FTS]

Inspired by a thread from our friends at the Cayman Register, I thought we should have our version. Add your experiences as you see fit:

You are a track nut, if...

• Your wife suggest that you need new suits, and the first thing that comes to your mind is Nomex two-peice racing suits and underweare.
• you schedule your family vacation around your track/race schedule.
• you send your boss, at the beginning of the year, your PTO schedule for the entire year.
• You collect coton long-sleeve shirts two-drawers-full, because they'll be used well during track days.
• you avoid replacing the 6-year old street tires on your other cars to save money for race tires that only last half a season.

this and #2 - guilty
1 set of wheels on car and 3 sets with tires stacked
stock parts all boxed and stacked
griots detailer cart loaded and rarely used
couple jacks
etc...

wife wants to always put useless crap in the garage and I throw a fit that rivals the best tantrums of my 3 year old daughter :-)

All good ones guys, keep it coming.

Here is the latest from me:

My wife asked my mother over the phone if my warranty had expired already, or she still had the chance to return me back! The answer was a "click." Oh btw, we have been married for 23 years now
