Talking You know you have a car audio addiction when....

When you would rather listen to a CD in your car than in your house.

When you tear up your entire car apart to take measurements, and re-assemble it same day for work the next morning.

When you have spare MDF on the side of your house in case you need to make an enclosure.

When you walk through parking lots wondering what kind of system people have.

When you "scan" through Various car audio retail websites looking for "good Deals".

After getting a Eonon stereo, I've found I'm a totally addicted to car audio now.

I think you all have the idea now... Let's have some fun..

Aite I guess I'll contribute a little

You know you have a car audio addiction when:

-The number of subs in your trunk make your rear-view mirror useless

-The deaf guy on the sidewalk is yelling at you to turn it down

Maybe more later

when you go for drive just to listen to the stereo

your music bill is greater than your grocery bill

you get up in the middle of the night, because you can't sleep and check the owner's manual on your head unit for some small detail about it, and it cures your insomnia

you know the chassis dimension of your reciever

you have a wiring diagram of your vehicle tattoed on your forearm so it will always be with you

You know that you are addicted to cars when;

You have over 20 automotive based subsciptions.

You spend more time looking at photos of cars than pics of hot girls.

You get mad at the photographer for destroyng an otherwise beautiful photo of a car by puting a model in the shot.

You find driving your car to be more fun than chatting up your friends.

You have memorized the exact stats of every car that you have ever dreamed of.

If your wife calls you and asks if she should buy another filing cabinet so that you can store your hundreds of back issues.

When you have memorized ever artical by date and publication of evry artical writen in the last ten years in the 20 or so subscriptions of auto publications that you read.

When you have to have a beater because you can't stand to drive your other cars in the rain.

You have figured out how to park five cars into a three car garage.

You spend more money a month on cars than your home, food or entertainment.

If your first thought in the morning is wich car I should drive today.

When you start a thread dedicated to nothing but pictures of cars.

When you don't even see "audio" in the name of the thread untill you have gon on about just a car addiction not an audio addiction.

These are just a few of my car addiction symptoms.

You know you have a car audio addiction when:

... you have a $2,000 stereo in your car but only $10 worth of groceries and condiments in the fridge.

... you have a $2,000 stereo in your car but nothing at all in your savings account.

... you have a $2,000 stereo in your car but no medical or dental insurance.

Wondering why someone runs a stock radio, when you can totally rock your world for less than the price of their scan gauge..

or when your car payments are behind but you got a new stereo system that cost what several car payments would have if you only saved the money instead :)

You know you have a car audio addiction when you're constantly expelling bodily fluids on your stereo equipment.
