You know you're a VQ driver when...

The VW guys started a thread called "You know you're a 1.8t driver when..."

I think we can do better than their 5 pages.

So let have 'em...

When you rev your engine at a stop light because you know no other engine sounds the same.

When in your profile your quote is from Ward's top ten engine list.

People always ask you why your engine ticks

You've only got a K&N drop-in and can make double the torque of your friend's modded Civic.

When you let friends drive your car, they try to turn the ignition when it is already on, because it's so quiet! <--Me

When a friend drives it, plants the gas for the first time, and you see a huge grin creep across their face.

...you consistently take the long way to work.

...you conveniently forget something at the grocery store and "have to make a second trip" (oh darn! )

...you make excuses to run out to the other office for something quick during the day to get a mid-afternoon VQ fix

...you're on the highway in top gear and don't even need to downshift to spank whatever idiot is trying to pull a fast one on you.

...you look over at that punk 3-series revving on you and you're not afraid.

...you don't fear a WRX from a roll.

...when you realize how slow your Accord V6 really was, even with mods!

........ damn near any mid-size sedan in or close to the Maxima is prey

........ you see another modded Max (good mods not rice) and you get a warm feeling inside

........ you love Maxima caravans and Maxima meets, the more the merrier (so far 16 at a time is the best I've participated in)

i love these threads

- your at the import hang out spot and you constantly have to pop the hood to prove you DONT have a supercharger.

- you wash your car in the winter. outside. at night. two days in a row.

- you watch videos from meets instead of regular tv.

- you stop racing four cylinder anythings.

- you start hanging out with maxima boys more than your reuglar non-motorhead friends.

- you can launch at idle and still win a race.

- your girlfriend says to you " why dont you just fuc! the car "

You respect other VQ owners so much that you don't race them in the streets for reasons of speed/mod-pride.

when you drop it to third on the interstate for no real reason

you let 4 bangers beat you at the first light, dust them at the second

I can't beleive she told you that

-When you start modding the car yet it ran off the factory with 190/205 hp/tq-4th gen that is.

-Realising that redlining fourth is good for 130mph+.

-Get mad when stoopid-non-shifting-***** put up wrong time's for the 3.5 6spd.

-When you go to other boards and search for maxima and spend a few hour's wondering why they are alway's hating.

You get your time slip at the autocross and the person handing it to you does a double take when they see your car (and then start babbling in amazement that something that big is so agile!)

-Your the only import who isn't a torqueless wonder!

-You find yourself telling your friends about your engine even though they don't care

-You 'get off' when you floor it

-Wish the whole world knew how great your engine really is.
