71. When you're taking about flashing your ECU to stage 1 and your co worker starts telling you how crazy you are, "flashing a phone is one thing but a car is completely different", and you dont think it's that risky.
72. When at work instead of actually working, your working on reading every single post in this thread because it is the only thing that get's you through the day with a smile on your face!
73. When people think you're checking their car out at a light but you're really looking at your car's reflection.

Definitely have done that with the framed windows as you forget about them when you get in someone's car that actually does have framed windows. Also, instead of hitting your head, you may hook your arm inside of them.As for the gas cap, there is a place to put it. Next time you open up your gas door hang your gas cap over the S-Shaped Hinge.

Definitely know about the hitting the brakes in traffic as I'm pretty much almost always more worried about the morons driving behind me rather than the people in front. That's the reason I usually do try to leave more room in front so as to build the buffer distance for when you have to hit the brakes, speed up & then hit the brakes again so that the person behind me doesn't plow in to the back end of my car.
