over here in chicago, we have lakshore drive which is a really nice cruise at night or early in the moring- one curve known as dead man's curve has a suggested speed of 25 and most cars adhear to it. in my ti however; i went through it at 40 and barely noticed a hint of body roll. ive been through this same stretch with many other cars ( blazers, MB 300, taurus,) and have ALWAYS had to slow down to at least 30 so as not to encounter significant body roll.

i always get excited to see another ti and there are alot of them, but most are being driven by middle age women - so its doubtful they know about 318ti.org

You know you're a 318ti driver when your girlfriend makes you chose from her and the 318ti and you chose the 318ti.(she left me but it's better without her...more time for the car)

Hello,to everybody

[tiFreak]

welcome, you made the right choice

[DaedHead8]

I second that. My girl doesn't understand our obsession for these cars either. I tell you, the minute she makes me decide between her and the car, she'll be taking a hike. Welcome to the org.

[Maverix]

Every girl I go out with KNOWS that my car is pretty important to me. Once they accept that fact, they really don't mind to much. The best way to let her know that you are really into your car is by starting every conversation with the number "3" and ending it with the letter "i".

[DaedHead8]

Hahaha, she knew how much I love my car, but then she moved in with me and really learned the depths of this obsession. I said she doesn't understand our obsession, she accepts it though.

When you spend $2K on it a week after you bought it.

You miss your first one so much.. you fly down to LA and buy another one.
You snicker every time you park in a 'COMPACT' designated parking spot.
You rather have a Ti Calendar than a Sport Illustrated calendar.
You consistently wander over to 318ti.org for anything, everything... nothing.
Love the lights on buzzer.

You bet your friends that you can park next to the car that's taking up 1 1/2 space, and still have room to get out of the car. (I've done this 3 times. Won each bet )

When your friends never want to ride in your car because they think its too difficult to hop into the backseat because they drive 4 door accords

You finally get them in and your friend (a girl) starts freaking out in a parking lot because she thinks you're taking turns too fast. Little does she know this isn't even near the limits of the car. She is in no danger whatsoever lol.

When people make "rich boy" jokes and you tell them that your car cost less than their Jeep Cherokee. They shut up but still LOVE your car.

When your 138 horsepower car beats your friend's ~200 horsepower car, because its way lighter
