You know you have too much BHP when...

The emissions test guy starts laughing as soon as you pull into the MOT station.

You can't drive your car in the rain.

Your 'significant other' is afraid to drive your car.

You are afraid to drive your car.

You spend more on tyres than on food.

You spend more on car insurance than on house payments.

You look in a police car and see a picture of your car taped to the dashboard.

You throw your underwear in the bin rather than the wash.

You have to go to the track to buy petrol.

Your tuner names the new wing of his workshop after you.

You're tempted to wear your fire suit just to drive to the office.

You arrive somewhere before you left.

You get pulled over for doing 155 in a 35 but the police will let you go if "they can look under the bonnet."

You remove the £2000 stereo system to save 6 lb. of weight.

You get an anonymous phone call asking if you are interested in being in the Cannonball Run.

Your face looks like you are riding a NASA centrifuge when you drive the car.

You need parachute braking.

'Significant other' won't even sit in the car.

There is no possible way to "sneak out" of your neighbourhood at 6 am.

Your pet’s scramble for their hiding spots as soon as the garage door is opened. (Pets, and all the neighbours...)

Family photos throughout the house are replaced with life-sized posters of your car.

Fuel is delivered to your home: in 55-gallon drums!
You carry earplugs in your car.

The only area on the car that receives any regular cleaning is the windscreen.

You find out that side mirrors don't hold up at speeds exceeding 145 mph.
