    I was fartin' around and found the same list with some more added to it...

    31. Young children cling to their mommies in fear when you round the corner.
    32. Birds fall out of their nests from the rumble of your 5" dual exhaust.
    33. All the major Tire makers are sending you free slicks in hopes of endorsment deal.
    34. The UPS guy took to taking Steroids so he could keep up with your shipments.
    35. The Fed Ex guy had a nervous breakdown.
    36. All the wildlife within a 800ft radius around your house got the HELLOUT.
    37. The nearest Geological Seismic Surveying Station Operator knows your address by heart.
    38. A booming voice greets potential passengers with, "That's right ....you paid for the whole seat but you'll only need the EDGE.
    39. The earth slows in rotation when you hook up on your new slicks and head east.
    40. You have to screw your slicks to the wheels.
    41. Your exhaust pipes are larger in diameter than your driveline.
    42. Your fuel pump flows enough to water a golf course.
    43. Your compression's high enough you could run diesel fuel.
    44. The sparks from your wheelie bars start grass fires on the side of the road.
    45. Your engine idles at 2800 rpm.
    46. You measure the fuel you use in "gallons per mile."
