Here are mine:
You know your an SC driver when......

The first thing you say when u get your stock SC is that it REALLY needs a drop...

When your on the freeway goin over 70, you really believe that the Overdrive button is actually a shot of NOS (SC400 Owners)...

When theres other people in the car, you click one of the memory seat presets with your right hand, while actually adjusting the seat from the side with your left so people in the car would actually believe your memory seat work...lol...or maybe thats just me

Maybe this only applies to me, but my neighbor owns an Indigo 1995 SC400. It looks really cool when both of our garages are open, or when both of us are washing our SCs at the same time!

I got some =P

1. You show how that little button on your rear view mirror dims the mirror
2. You impress people with the little shade on top the rear view mirror
3. You are amazed by how a car of yesterday have more technology than the cars today (power seats, dimming mirrors, memory seats, heated seats, etc...)
4. Don't know if it only applies to Hawaii, but you get excited seeing a SC on the road, then turned off when you find out its a old lady driver in it.
5. First mod was HIDs because headlighs are ugly and ****ty
6. You are actually posting in this Thread!

Happened to me last Tuesday at the meets here in Wilmington. A row of 4 or 5 hatches all nicely parked, and I park way in the back by the supercharged diesel trucks (could almost park UNDER them), so I see this white Supra over on the side...moved over to it.

Later on we were testing (showing off) our BOVs...I had people come up to me and say that the 1JZ i had sounded better and 'more potent' than his 2JZ...I win, you lose.

you know your an SC owner when:

-you realize you cant afford a mkiv supra so you get an sc300.

-then your soo excited to do a swap, you end up buying an aristo 2jz-gte instead of a supra 2jz-gte.

-then your thinking "hey, they can't be that much differnent right?" then you realize the oil pan is diff..... then the harness...... then the turbos.... then the cams... ect...ect.....

-then you get on the forums and that parts search begins!

-then when you try to sell everything you changed, you realize nobody wants parts off of an aristo motor lol.

You know you're a SC driver when.... You try to drive to work in the morning in 4 inches of snow and get stuck on an incline cause you have no weight in the back , and ur still running snow tires.
