[gokiburix]

your clothes always smell like exhaust.......:blink:

[Llittle_Llama]

You keep reaching for and trying to turn the dimmer switch up for the dash lights even though it been turned up as far as it will go for over 5 years.

 

This is the sixth year in a row at the beginning of the rainy season that you've said: 'I'm fixing the de-froster next summer for sure'

 

As the cop is asking how fast you think you were going, you slowly slide your left foot over the hole in the floor.

 

All your pants have at least one or more broken belt loops.

 

You define irony as: Failing the emissions test because the emissions sticker peeled off the hood and was sucked into the air filter.

 

It wasn't for parts from 4 other trucks including a 720, a 280Z a 200sx, a G M van, a Maxima and a Toyota.

You agonize over "hooks or no hooks"

[rat tail dragger]

If you know how to drive through your frequented parking lots without going over a speed bump.

 

If people have to ask why you didnt just go over that speed bump

 

If your cupholder consists of your crotch between shifts

You have a container of each type of fluid your Datsun uses behind the seat.

You have a pillow in the worn out spot of the bench seat on the driver's side.

You have tried 4 different rear view mirrors on the doors, trying to find a set that don't vibrate at freeway speed.

You have used aerosol windshield de-icer on the inside of the windshield on a frosty morning.

You have found that a microfiber cloth works better, and faster, than the defroster on a non frosty cool morning.

You can start your Datsun and hold your breath until the defroster starts to make inroads on the foggy windshield on a cool morning.

You have seen, and are suitably in awe, of mklotz's Datsun parts collection.

......you jump into other cars with your ignition key in your left hand.

 

..........you jump into other cars and reach toward to dash for the e-brake handle.

 

...a six foot fireball from your carb doesn't phase you. You instinctfully adjust your timing.

You get home from a long day at work. Then go out into the garage and work on your datto for five hours & when you come into the house you say "that was fun".

i was JUST about to post that!

[Nismo1970]

If you get pissed off at you insurance company for putting Nissan instead of datsun on your info.

 

If you get mad when old guys ask you if your 70's 521 is a Chevy Luv.

all the time, lol!

If none of the e-brakes in your Datsuns (including the rally car) ever work because that would require spending lots of time on unimportant cable work. Besides, it's a manual trans, just leave it in gear.

 

You've ever drug a car out of a field, trailered it 2 hours home, only to cut it up and squirrel away the usable parts.

 

You have to explain why the 2 valve 1970s non-crossflow head still flows better than 90% of the crossflow heads of newer vehicles.

 

You have to explain what a lash pad is.

 

You have to get the neighbor kid down the street interested in Datsun.

 

aaaand, if you teach your best buddy's kid at age 2 to say "Datsun!" when asked "What's the best car ever built?" (Now that's she's older she says Subaru because they have a turbo wagon) :D

Yup , so true , my old MK 1 GT Cortina (non xflow) was way better than any others i had ...

 

You sell your very original classic 1964 EH Holden (collectors piece) to buy a 520 ...:D

WERD!! :lol:

[Llittle_Llama]

if you read this whole article and 90% of it applies to you!

[datzenmike]

You're driving the company van and slam your left foot to the floor at a stop sign by mistake and hope your partner didn't notice.:D Happens every Monday.

[]2eDeYe]

Your better half catches you on CL and you now have to install closet doors to make up for buying more datto parts. The whole time your installing the doors your thinking about the other cool parts you got she doesn't know about :lol:

[datzenmike]

You have a FSM hidden in the bathroom.

[izzo]

You trade your custom build server for a datsun........

 

 

Your gf says, Thats the LAST TIME i drive you for 3 hours to pickup a vehicle....

Hehe, I actually hit my knuckles on the dash where the e-brake should be in other cars

 

...if you looking on Craigslist is worse to your other half then you looking at porn.

Your favorite tool is a wire feed wrench.
