Default Something You Do With The S...

I like to smell my tires after a spirited drive. I love the smell of tire smoke, on a side note I like the smell of diesel.

I sometimes shift gears by using the very bottom of the stick shift, the lowest part below the shift knob, it makes it feel like I have a short shifter.

Another one would be I don't like driving behind trucks/vans. I have a phobia about trucks/vans tires causing rock chips on the S.

Rest my ass during a long drive by standing on the dead pedal and pushing against the back of the seat.

I do both of these, even though I don't drive an S (yet).

hmm, I also sometimes hold the bottom of my shifter to simulate a short shifter.

Some other things I do:

-Before I go on anywhere in the S, every pine needle/leave/twig MUST be off the car

-I sometimes just stand behind my car to listen to the grumble of my exhaust and smell the catless fumes

-When I dry my car after a wash, it must ALL be dry or I freak out going back and forth getting every last droplet of water

-I talk to my baby

There are others, I'm sure, but I can't think of them right now...doing some C programming at the moment

That's not unique

I can't think of anything unique I do with the car. I guess I'm lame (or normal).

smell the exhaust after spirited drive. you can smell the burned oil

drive 2100rpm in 1st gear in parking garages. makes a nice intake pitch. sounds like an airplane. snorkel probably makes it more noticeable.
