you know you have a VQ when you spend more time on this site then facebook..
Tru Dat, Tru Dat
Hell especially true for me since I don't use that facebook junk. Now days, people lose their jobs using that site if something is posted on your space that is unfavorable to the company you work for
You know you're in a VQ when the cheapest way to reset your CEL is
to fill her up with premium (after using regular).
You know you drive a VQ when you'd rather spend spare cash on mods than
on replacing your windshield that has a 3 feet long crack (you refer
to this as not a priority).

You now you're driving a VQ when you need to refill your oil every freakin month! Or every 2 weeks if you enjoy high RPMS

You know your driving a VQ when you talk about the awards in won.

You know your driving a VQ when you motor mounts are always going.
You know when your working on a VQ and 95% of the job working on it is easy but for some gay reason the last 5% of the job sucks and you cut up your hands badly.(aka doing an alt or motor mounts)

You know you're driving a VQ35, when the driver of Integra with the "Type R swap" you just yanked on the freeway, looks at you incredilously when you say you only have an intake for a mod, and then to make him feel better, you say: "It's the same motor on the 350Z," and it does [make him feel better].
you know you're driving a VQ when you don't mind having 2 in a row, both automatic, and not give a damn about that.
You know you're driving a VQ, when your fenders are rusted, you steel rims are brown, but the ''tunned''(typo intended) civic besides you wanted to prove something, but you proved him that you have nothing to prove.
You know when you're driving a VQ, when you sit at a redlight and the guy in the Boxter besides you wants to impress you by revving his motor, and when YOU do it til redline and your intake screams ''I CANT HEAR YA!'', he looks at you with a ''WTF!?was that'' face !Hilarious!
oh oh oh check this one out!!--
-You know you're driving a VQ, when you're driving a VQ.-
You know you're driving a VQ when the time comes that you may have to replace the car in a few years and you know that more sensible choices are out there... but, after reading this entire thread, you know that in your heart you want to replace it with another VQ...
You know you're driving a VQ when you even like how the engine sounds with rusted exhaust.

You know you drive a VQ when you take every bad comment about your car as a personal insult.
Read this after I replied...
My wife had to take my car since hers was out for paint and blamed her: almost hitting a median and driving the wrong way on a road... then getting pulled over... on my "dim headlights".
We are still fighting because she wont take it back.

She's right though. 95-99 headlights aren't really that good..... at all.
Didn't say they were... but that's my baby.
