    You know your a professional driver when you find yourself always backing up into parking spots in your car.

    Yup.

    I used to be most at home in a pocket rocket.
    Triumph TR-8, Lotus Europa, Honda CRX, Fiat X1/9, MGB Midget...

    Now, every 4-wheelie I drive - no matter a car or pup truck - I feel like I am on a skateboard with my bottom scraping the pavement.
    Can't see over or around a dam thing.

    I fear I'll never be a 'normal' driver again.

    Or, a #13.

    (that's a combination of all three...)

    Bad luck for almost anyone.

    How about driving a manual tranny in the car and you double clutch or try to float gears.

    As long as you aren't taking a shower after putting gas in your car at the 7-11 then you are doing ok!

    Doing 62 in the right lane turning off the headlights when a big truck wants to come over, in my pickup

    Hitting the ac button thinking its the jakes

    Using the tow haul mode on my auto like a jake brake

    Watching the inside mirror thru every turn. (Wait, no 48' spread behind me)

    And my fav, and have done this alot, putting on the 4 ways when backing up at walmart or other store
