How To Tell If You’re An Idiot
By MARK VAUGHN
AutoWeek | Published 01/30/07, 4:58 pm et
I often get letters from car enthusiasts asking, “Am I an idiot?” Some people just don’t know, so I have provided a handy list. Keep a tally and at the bottom we’ll score you.
1. You have a car with fog lights.
2. You call them “Driving Lights.”
3. You switch them on.
4. You wear gloves when you drive.
5. You wear driving shoes when you drive.
6. You wear the driving shoes and the gloves to school/work.
7. You drive one or no races in the course of a weekend track event but you stroll around the paddock all three days with your driving suit at half mast, the arms of it tied around your waist “in case someone needs a backup driver.”
8. You know entirely too much about some obscure race car that no one else on the planet knows or cares about.
9. You talk about the car in #8.
10. You send condescending letters to your club newsletter correcting some minutia about the wind wing vent positioning of car #8, usually beginning with the line, “Anyone who knows anything at all about cars knows that the (car #8) blah, blah, blah…”
Okay, let’s score you.
One to three “Yes” answers means you need serious psychological help. Or a girlfriend. I suggest both. Ideally for you, get a girlfriend who also owns car #8.
Four to six “Yes” answers means you should just give up now and please get off the internet for the good of mankind.
More than six “Yes” answers, please, just donate all your internal organs to an internal organ bank then go jump in the nearest compost heap. This will be best for all concerned, mostly the compost heap.
Now, those who see themselves in the above or, better yet, have friends and fellow racers say they see them in the above, please send your outraged hate mail to pfloraday@crain.com. He will dispose of it properly.
