Darn! Now I have to buy more jackstands. Mine only match the red car (have 3
cars)!
More additions, forgive me if someone already mentioned them:
* You carry a box of spare parts in the trunk. Not just for one car, but enough
for two. In addition to a floor jack, jackstands, tools, lubricants, etc.
* You carry pictures of your car in the trunk, like someone can't figure out
what you have by looking at the actual car itself.
* You tell people how maintenance free roadsters are, yet others always ask if
there are times you don't work on the roadsters. And you tell them "rarely"!
* The number of pictures of your cars in your cubicle outnumber your kids 2 to
1.
* Your roadster parts are displacing canned foodstuffs from storage shelfs, and
you force your wife to use a ladder to reach the spaghetti sauce on the upper
shelves.
* Other guys are cruising the web downloading pictures of gals, while you're
hunting for roadster pictures.
* Every once in a while, you go through your roadster parts collection even
though you already know what you have, and your wife doesn't see you for hours.
