You know you drive a TI when.. - All of your friend's jaws drop when you tell them how much HP your car has after whooping them in a dragrace (and it is 85+ less than theirs)
- You cannot figure out what the two switches to the left of the steering wheel do.
- All your buddies think you are crazy for going completely insane when you see another TI.
- people call your car "cute"
- You get bad gas mileage because you rev your car's engine as often as you can.
- Your engine makes a weird, high pitched turbo sounding noise but it isn't the turbo.

| LOL!! The high pitch noise happens only when the car is warming up. It feels like it's using the manual gear box. But after that, accelerating becomes smooth, and the turbo noise goes away. My neighbors always think I'm speeding in my own driveway  __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

mine makes it even worse when I double-clutch and rev my engine because of the intake I have, sounds pretty sick | | | | | 11-18-2008, 05:14 AM | #49 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Austin Posts: 3,059 |
Can't wait to experience the same thing. Just waiting for my intake from HuGo. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

When everyone you know gives you mod suggestions for your car because their Accords and Avalons don't have enough good mod options. | | | | | 11-18-2008, 04:08 PM | #52 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Denver, Colorado Posts: 3,212 |

-about 15 min. before the party is over you're already configuring the lightest passenger load.
-your significant other would leave if they knew how much more you loved your car.
-you've seriously considered selling your body or robbing a bank for the performance well-being of your ti.
-you would give your first born to have a company sell a complete full line of ti products.
-fear the post description parenthesis which contain (except 318ti). | | | | | 01-21-2009, 03:04 PM | #54 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Austin Posts: 3,059 |

Also, my headlight switch has no light behind it. | Probably the funniest, and truest one for us all. You could also say you know you're a Ti owner when your buddies get in the car and you automatically remind them not to use the windows, and that the sunroof must suffice. __________________  | | | | | 01-21-2009, 09:27 PM | #59 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Rocky Mountains Posts: 610 |
