You know you have too much horsepower when...........  
    Everybody else is afraid to drive the car    
Children & household pets hide when you open the garage door.
 Fuel is delivered to your house.............in       45 gallon
drums.
   
 You arrive before you've taken off.
   
You wear a fire suit to drive to Walmarts
You spend more on tires than food.
   
You use parachute braking.
   
The next size of brake disc is larger than your wheels.    
The glove box is full of earplugs.
   
 The police have a picture of your car taped on their dashboard    
You remove a $1500 stereo to save 2lb in weight.    
You have to buy your petrol from NASA.
Your tune up bill is bigger than your mortgage.  
Your tune up shop names his new shop after you.    
You can't sneak out at peak tv time, never mind when its quiet.
You get stopped for 170 in a 30 but the cops will give you a warning if you'll give them a lift home.
   
You need a 5 point harness just to keep your organs in place when you "gas it".
   
It takes 10 gal of fuel to start the engine.    
Your nitrous bill is larger than all the dentists in your county.    
You've been banned from the drag strip for speeding.        
You mirrors fold in at 175.
    
Your battery is as big as your engine.
    
You use your fuel pump to fill & drain your swimming pool.     
Your trunk is filled with pictures & info on your induction set-up
OPEC ask's monthly for your predicted mileage.     
You have to use nitrous getting out of the garage.     
You think your open headers are restricting your horsepower.     
You believe the main purpose of a wing is to prevent flight.
 Your yard holds more broken engines than your local salvage yard.
Your tire life is measured in hours rather than miles.     
You refer to the corner down the street as "turn 1".    
Your speedo reads in Mach numbers.
   
Iinstructions for ejection seat usage are on the glove box.    
   And last but not least the City Council has erected "No Sonic Booms" signs in your neighbourhood.

Sounds like Uncle ED all except the stereo. He just cut a little off the body to save weight.

The police have a picture of your car taped on their dashboard. Thats about the only one I am guilty of.
