You smell something driving down the road and you think "is that my car or the FORD in front of me "...

In my case it was my car. It was shortly after I had the headers installed. I was sitting at a red light and thought "someone's car sure stinks", then I realized it was mine and started laughing.
After a meet I had a fellow CEG'er follow me home. We arrived at my house and he said "it's nice to follow someone who's car smells like mine" (he has headers too). LOL!

Excellent idea! However, it would taker several threads as the poll option has a 10 place limit...

We just need someone to come up with the top ten and we'll all go along with it. I don't know how well a poll would work if we can't even put all the options and choices down at the same time in the same thread?!?!? :shrug:

I don't know who Eric Knauber is but...
Robert Knauber was the first CEGer to remove his door ding guards. He started the whole Knauberizing thing.
He's a Capital CEG member.
 
Pale Horse,
I consider myself a decent enthusiast, but out of your entire list I qualify for just two of the points...... :confused:
