when everybody tells you to sell your car because its unreliable and a money pit..

Also when your girlfriend tells you the computer is off limits when she comes over because of dsmtuners..

If you look under the car every morning for oil leaks.. and get worried when there is none because its probably too low on oil or tranny fluid..

If your girlfriend gets mad because you actually THINK about buying her something worth 50 bucks but cant wait to order a 600 dollar turbo..
 
Someone should print it up like a cool poster and sell it with a little bit of dsm art. I'd buy it. put it up in my garage. I tried to explain to the wife last night why I was laughing. She didn't understand it. Didn't get it. I had a DSM moment today. I saw a black 2G turning onto Stoughton rd today at the same time I was. I let off the gas a bit just to let him catch up to see if it was turbo or not. It was. Good times
 
I agree, someone should make a DSM commandments plate for the garage and a poster of you must be a dsm'r when.. for the garage too I know a lot of people would buy them
