When you look at your Boss's Ferrari California, and the thoughts in your mind are:

"Where is the sump plug?"
"What size spanner do I need to take the fly wheel off?" and
"Why the hell did they put the engine in the middle?"

Also:

When you get into a Porsche 911 and think:

"Now this is a proper Beetle!"

:twisted:

When you out run an old tannie in a citi golf on the highway, And feel good about it.
or when it's your turn to move into the fast lane to overtake a mini, giving them a smug look as you pass by, then you feel really good about it. :hangloose:

...when its really windy you walk (or cycle) to work and pretend its because you need the excercise or want to save petrol...

This one really only applies to those of us that only own a ACVW and have no other form of transport.
