WARNING
=======

Public Service Announcement:

'Some' 300 folks interest in said vehicle (and this forum!) 'may' trend toward the 'obsessive'.

To get help, the 1st step is to acknowledge the problem. The following may help - do you recognize yourself in any of the following?:


SYMPTOMS
========

- instead of looking for a free download of the latest secret Paris Hilton video, you are trying to find the rumored secret video a plant worker shot of the SRT8 being assembled

- you find yourself actually reading a long forum thread about washing your car

- you think BMW is a four letter word

- your significant other is:

1. convinced you have an internet affair due to your late night forum browsing -OR-

2. thankful that between your car & forum you have no time/interest to be unfaithful

- men: when overhearing guys talking about "sexy curves" you assume they're talking about your car

- women: when overhearing women talking about "finding the man of your dreams" you assume they're talking about the "perfect service manager"

- when people talk about their favorite CD, you think of your Service Manual CD

- in desperation your family had to join this forum so they could communicate to you via PM

- you can't figure out how Uri Geller could have had ESP way back in the 70's

- when the president talks about "enemy combatants" you assume he's talking about GTO drivers

- during Green Horner re-runs you annoy everyone by ALWAYS pointing out similarities between Black Beauty and the 300

- instead of reading Da Vinci Code in the living room, you're sitting in the garage reading the owners manual

- the main reason friends & family love your car is your willingness to perform every single errand they request (as long as it involves driving)

- after ordering your new 300, you think you have self-restraint, since you waited until you got home before calling for a status update (didn't use your car phone on your way home!)

- you feel sorry for people wearing fake Rolexes (but you love it when people think you drive a Bentley)

- you spent more time researching grilles than what university to send your kids to

- you can name every rapper that has a 300C (but not a single song they've recorded)

- instead of doing your taxes, you waste your time doing this list


TEST
====

- you can measure the degree of your problem by taking this test:

1. can you name more than 10 forum members? (you can be helped)

2.can you do #1. AND list their car model & color? (there may still be a chance to help you)

3. can you do #2. AND list all their mods (too late - beyond help!)



HELP
====

a friend is useful to help you recover BUT first show the friend a picture of your car:

- if they drool all over it, find someone else!

- if they say "is that the new lincoln?", they can help you!
