You know you have a problem when...

Your idea of a good time is going to the wreckers and looking under every VW hood for a diesel engine.

You save every useless part you pull off your VW in a corner of your garage.

You can hear a four cylinder diesel from four blocks away.

You enjoy the smell of diesel more than fine cologne.

You frantically wave to anyone that drives by in VW diesel.

You secretly obsess about finding a way to convince your wife to buy a Giles pump because "the car needs it".

You consider mufflers a useless option.

You could swap an engine using only your garage rafters, some tiedowns and a and old tire.

You have more spots on your driveway than a teenager on his/her face.

You've had your neighbors give you dirty looks while blanketing yours and their yards with exhaust smoke.

You think about big turbos while being intimate with your significant other.

Blowing a headgasket is a minor annoyance.

You consider 300 000 km to be "just broken in".

'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.

True, and it is far easier for me to convince myself than for me to convince myself then convince someone else! ;)
