Racerchicks.com

Racerchicks.com is an enthusiast site for women racers that includes racing information, an online store, as well as a super funny list of things called “You might be a racer chick if…”.

Here is a short except below of my favs from the list, I have made some comments beside a few of them, shown in pink. For the complete list, please visit: http://www.racerchicks.com/motor/you_might_be_a_racer.html

You might be a racer chick if:

-You bought a race car before buying furniture for the new house.

- You’re looking for a tow vehicle and still haven’t bought furniture! (This is so true, i still don’t own a couch!!)

- You take your helmet along when you go to buy new eyeglasses or check out cars (seats).

- You feel compelled on a road trip to beat your previous best time.

- You refer to the corner down the street from your house as “Turn One.”

- You are happiest when your street car’s tires are worn to racing = depth (wear bars showing).

- You look at the fire hydrant at that corner and see an apex marker.

- You enjoy driving in the rain on the way to work or school.

- You always late apex the intersection and try to pass a few cars coming out.
- When you hear ‘overcooked it’, instead of food you think ‘off the track’.

- You can’t stand understeer. (Hence, the 911).

- You thoroughly enjoy showing the tailgater behind how to drive around a highway off-ramp.

- Your racing budget is one of the big three — mortgage, car payments/maintenance, dating. (Wow, they really know me!)

- Your email address refers to your race car rather than to you.

- You walk proper lines through the grocery store. (HAHAH! I especially like Whole Foods shopping carts because they corner better.)

- You’ve paid $4.00 a gallon for gas without complaining. (Yes here too!)

- You bought a race car before buying a house. (This one is so me!!)

- You think that traction control and ABS are for those who can’t drive. (AHAHAHAH funny on so many levels.)

- You save broken car parts as “mementos”. (I actually have a table in my house filled with nothing but broken 911 parts).

- The local police and state Highway Patrol have a picture of your car taped to their dashboard.

- You would choose a roll bar over air conditioning if it were an option. (This reminds me of the Mini Cooper I bought without cruise control because I didn’t want the sun roof option for the track).

- You’ve started looking for sponsors for your daily commute.

Can ayone think of any others? Do you relate to these?
