The kids in the neighborhood think your cool because you have black fingernails and they don't know its from all that grease....... You have a more types of degreaser than your wife has of shampoo in the shower...... The UPS guy has a package from Luke or Rich for you and doesn't even look at the address to deliver it... If your friends aks about the bus before they ask how the family is doing...... Lets hear yours............ |

If all family trips are routed in relationship to major bus events, salvage sale centers or if there is going to be enough luggage space for parts found along the way |

If you wake your wife in the middle of the night from your nightmare, screaming: "HIT THE KILL SWITCH - HIT THE KILL SWITCH" |

You describe your sister-in-law as "having all the sex appeal of an '04". |

- You step on the pedal to open a trash can lid, then wait for the RPMs to come down before releasing the pedal. - Your wife no longer needs to ask if there is "enough room" to take certain items along on vacation. - You cringe when a new visitor to the board asks whether a CDL license is needed, 'cause you know it's gonna open that can of worms AGAIN. - You've stopped watching the stock market and started watching diesel fuel prices. - You would actually consider changing a flat tire on the bus by yourself rather than calling road service. - Your wife can overhear you comment that you want to replace your "old air bag" and she no longer takes offense, - To you, the wheels and tires on "stick 'n staple" motorhomes seem to be getting smaller and smaller. - You see nothing unusual about putting the latest satellite technology (GPS / XM Radio / Dish TV) into a vehicle built before the world's first satellite was ever launched. - You hear someone comment how HUGE the new Ford Excursion (or Hummer) is, and you quietly chuckle to yourself. - You are trying to convince the family that this year's family vacation spot should be Elkhart, IN - You find yourself talking more about 8Ds, and less about 38DDs - You do not have your current conversion completed, but are already thinking about how you would do it better next time. |

You forget the shift pattern in your five-speed car because you have now become so familiar with the five-speed in the coach, AND put the car in first instead of reverse at just the wrong time. (true story) (does not apply to those nose-in-the-air automatic owners) |

On your family vacation, you took more pictures of buses than of the family. The neighbors all have learned to expect strange sounds emanating from your yard at all hours. (well not tooo late). You drool over Miss July, but she has 8 wheels. |

You give the wife whiplash when you forgot you were driving the Buick wagon and tried to double-clutch the brake pedal. |

If you read the above posts and they ALL made you nod & go uh-huh! But the number one way you can tell you're over the top is: Your WIFE (who used to throw fits when you did it) now points out & correctly identifies bus makes & models when you're travelling! JTNG: What does your sister in law look like? I think my '04 IS sexy! |

You are constantly commenting on that old gals duelies and your wife has stopped slapping you. You don't freak out when you see alittle oil (< 1 quart)below the bus after a good run. You have become an expert in the differences in chaulks, sealants and rivets. You proudly wear your dirty coveralls into ANY establishment. You are starting to look at a bus part and say "I can make that in my garage" |

You have to get a one cu. ft. BOX for all your bus expenditure receipts because your file folder is now 4" thick and you can't cram anymore in. |

*When you hear the word MCI you think of a Bus, not the phone company *You can tell at least (5) funny stories that involve a sewer hose. *You find yourself talking "shop" with truckers. *You buy a house based on the length of the driveway & city vehicle parking codes. *You've been asked "Who's the band in the Bus" at a rest stop. *The words "Polished Stainless" make you salivate. *Your Christmas/Birthday/Anniversary/Fathers Day Presents are all bus related. *Your wife can "Rivet with the best of them". *Your family budget includes the category "Bus". *You can name every make & model of bus that you pass on a trip down the interstate. *You know what "Sika Flex" is.

You can't resist taking stuff home that smells like diesel fuel... Your wife stocks spray bottles of purple stuff to clean up the tracks you leave on the floor. You like that old T-Shirt that has the black carbon stain across the front. It's comfortable.! You realize you just put diesel fuel in your weedeater... Your favorite towel is a shop rag.... |

When you meet a lovely lady for the first time and the very first question you ask is..."Can you shift a close-ratio non-synkro heavy duty 10-speed RTO-910 Roadranger truck transmission"? THEN...you ask them if they are single. |

TD- "the smell of diesel gives ya' a woodie" Yeah... the ultimate test. The Freudian diesel fuel test. (oh-ooh, what if gas turns you on too?...shi-ih-ih-ih-it) (any pump in a storm?) (not that there's anything wrong with that) |
