Well, to end the confusion, I have compiled...

| The Top 16 ways to tell if your car isn't normal: |
'---------------------------------------------------'
16. You can easily explain the merits and shortcomings of various
carburetors when fitted to the particular engine in your car, as
well as various other carburetor/engine combinations.
15. You belong to a club whose members all own the same kind of car.
14. The guys at Grand Auto, Kragen, and Pep Boys all look at you funny
when you ask if they carry parts for your car.
13. You shout with joy whenever you spot another car like yours on the
road. And your significant other wishes you got that excited when
you see her.
12. You play with Matchbox cars -- that look just like yours.
11. The best part of the movie is when you spot the same type of car as
yours in the traffic jam during the bank robbery. (You also watch
really bad movies just because they have your kind of car in them.)
10. You order all your parts mail order, and not because its cheaper.
9. Everyone you know avoids mentioning your car unless they're having
trouble sleeping. They also won't tell you when they're looking for a
new car.
8. Someone confuses your car with another make/model -- and you feel
slighted.
7. You've owned your car for as long as Reagan can remember. And you're
violently opposed to legislation that would take cars more than 25
years old off the road.
6. You've told your children that they must pass your car on to their
children.
5. You subscribe to an expensive magazine (possibly foreign) that only
covers your type of car.
4. You wave frantically and make funny faces at other people you see
driving the same kind of car.
3. Your significant other has to stay with you at parties to make sure
you don't start talking about your car.
2. Two words: 90 weight
1. Your car is older than you are.
