.....when you have the Pale Lemon Volvo in front of you lined up that well with your hood ornament/gunsight that you jam the cannon/horn button down hard and scupcake with delight when the old fart craps himself and his hat falls off.

Or when you are driving down the road, you are thumbing the steering wheel, hunting for the POV hat switch

When you wonder how many perks you will get for the benz in front of you,

When you are driving down the highway, there are three other cars beside you and you dont want to exit and break formation.

When you pass someone you look for the WEP

When you notice there are more hondas then spits

LOL well unfortunately I happen to have one in my garage and I must say that all Skodas are very undermodeled and extremely overpriced. Will have to check with dealer on ENY and perk values...

Using a smashed bug or taking a grease pencil to make a HUD pipper on your windshield.

Using you Stick-Shifter as a flightstick. <-Done this one

Pretending to use Brake and Clutch as rudders and almost wrecking.

Using the window roll-up handle as a pretend throttle.

I was talking to an engineer once about some work we were doing and agreed on a point he made and replied "rgr that"..I kicked myself at the time but chuckled all the way home

Serriously though, has anyone else found themselve leaning into a turn while driving? Man, that drives me nuts.

Yep; comes in real handy on my Yamaha.

The worst is when flying along in a T-6 and start feeling for the view buttons on the throttle and the 4-ways on the stick. Or seeing other traffic and wondering if you left the icons off.

... telling your wife she could merge onto the freeway better if she used lag pursuit to retain more E.

Man did she every look at me weird when I said that.

Actually, as a former stock-car racer, E fighting techniques in air combat apply very well for the various ways to pass another car in a turn. The lag-displacement rolls don't work too well though.

Yeah, lets just not mix the two jargons together..."Apexing" and "Tramlining" may confuse some of the mortals on this board

1: weird thing i do when i drive: When i change lanes or merge, i shoulder check in the exact same pattern as i maintain SA in AH.

eg> i look left, look right, back, then up (yes i even look up when shoulder checking some times.) I dont even use the mirrors.

2. i have, and passengers have caught me rapid flashing the high beams to "shoot" cars in front of me. (the flashing hi beams representing muzzle flash.)

3. We have all been caught doing this: in a crowded place like a bar, mall or pub, you get weird looks from people wondering what form of sign language you are trying to use when you are using your hands to explain the planes and vectors that occured during last night's rolling scissor fight.

4. The acronym thing. Last weekend we had a family supper and when i was getting ready to leave, i said: "well great supper mom, time for me to rtb." Everyone was like "what the hell?" except for my Grandpa, a WW2 wellington pilot. he said "have a safe drive...." That was classic!

As it turns out our new QA guys drove 'Varks in the Gulf War. Qualified for carrier landings in a 14 as part of an exchange program, but never did manage to stick a night trap.

He understands those hand gestures quite well.

I generally worry more about deflection shooting and relative e when I drive. I WANT those dam 50 cals up by the headlights mounted!

..... when u ask the stewardess on ur next holiday flight if u can join as gunner.

.... when u tell the pilot he should stay under 200 fft to be invisable for enema radar.

.... when u ask the stewardess for a fresh ammo clip, the old one is empty since u saw bogies vulching the runway.

When you are sitting in front of a $20000 HP Visualize C3600 workstation reading the AH BBS.
