You might be a dubber if...

[lookanoob]

You use toll and gas station receipts as time slips.

You think there should be separate slightly higher speed limits for dubs.

You've ever wished you could revoke drivers licenses.

You drove a new Mini and wondered why everyone was raving about the handling since it was like driving your Golf.

[gltuner]

you understand the phrase "keep right except to pass."

[Kliener Fuchs]

Ahhhhh yes, there is little better feeling then droping to third, flooring it, and flying by the "Slower" traffic.

You know youre a dubber when...

You printed out an 8x10 picture of your first dub and framed it.
You have all your licence plates of your previous dubs mounted on the wall in your room
You keep broken parts and display them in your room as momentos.
You keep your whole tool box in the trunk, along with hydraulic jack.

My favorite, educate the sales person at the dealership about the new GLi you are test driving. In fact he liked it so much that he considered buying it. I told him I was going to wait for the GTi, he was clueless.

I always give my car a second or 5 th glace before leaving it. If i can see it from the window, ill stare at it and if Im leving my place in someone elses car, I admire it until it's out of sight. No wonder im single

You wont work on anything that is not german.
Fram is bad, only OEM will do.
The parts guy at Checkers insists that the vacuum lines you say VW uses are actually fuel lines.
You are more excited about your sisters first car (87 rocco 16v) then she is.
You think the coolest swap for your E30 BMW would be to swap in a 3.2 VR6!

I can go on for days!

Hey, I'VE DONE THAT!!! BOTH OF THEM!!! My Mom also had that Mercedes Jeep, and I would always look at it and say, "It just looks like big Golf."

[Kliener Fuchs]

Mercadies Jeep? the G Wagon?

[DUBQUEEN]

I don't remember the model type of the Mercedes jeep she had (it was totaled by some drunk biach, so my Mom took the check from the insurance company and upgraded to a 2005 S500), but it was definately like the one shown in the picture above. I always thought those things looked like a jeep version of a Golf- no schit- I always thought that! And as far as the Scion, everytime I would see the models in the picture above, I would make jokes about them, but would always say, "However, if it was a Dub, I'd probably buy one, lol." That's ill- I thought I was the only one that thought those things. It's nice to know I'm not alone.

ONLY a dubber will park his/her car and as they walk away, they ALWAYS, without fail, turn around to look at the car one last time before going inside. You know you do it...

always do it

-you get worried when all the random noises go quiet
-you bought your friends dub so it didn't go to a bad owner, even though you didn't have the finanical means to do so
-your trunk has more spare parts and tools than an average person's garage
-you go to gtg's (non-dub) and people flip out that you have recaros
-people wonder why you talk about getting sweet 15" rims
-you need two hands and a friend to help put up the one window with the broken regulator when someone puts it down after you tell them not to

[DUBQUEEN]

I knew I was truely a dubber when, even though I've always loved nothing but Dubs, the first car I bought was a Honda CRX (I know, I know). I threw it in the shop and immediately put $600 into repairs. Four days after I took it out the shop, it was totaled in an accident that was not my fault, and immediately, I just knew it was a sign from God letting me know that I was destined to drive Dubs, and anything else I buy will go straight to hell, and I live by that.

[vwjetalove89]

or when u crooz around town in your 80 Rabbit and all the young people stair and make faces and all the old people wave and smile.... Or your frinds stand in the cold for 10 min trying to figure out how the door handles work..... are when you get pulled over and the cop ask what is this and you tell him that hes dumb and that its a v-dub and he ends up taking you to jail and making you leave your car on the side of the rode and your one and only call home is to see if the v dub is ok ,not to call a bonds man.... then its save to say ur a vdub nut .

[Kliener Fuchs]

that happen to you?

[LuckyMcGee]

...if you get caught in traffic at a stop light, and look over at your reflection in a window, and think, "HOT DAYUM THAT'S SEXY!!!" ...and then take a picture because you simply can't resist.

(Yes, I know it's been said before, but a true dubber wouldn't be able to resist any chance to show off their dub.)

I was just kidding...kinda...sorta...

I have a bad habit of giving WAAAAY too much information. I dunno, I guess that's just how I am. I'm not very social, except when it comes to my job and my car, and I guess I have gone overboard in the forums a little. I'm sorry- I'll take it easy

I was just so happy to find this website after all I've been through, you know?
