when you get pulled over by a cop - not because you broke any law, but because he thinks the only reason someone would drive that slow is intoxication

when you get agitated by non-timed lights - not cause your in a rush, but because of the wasted momentum

when you get out and push your 5500lb truck because there is a slight downgrade just a few feet further forward

when you can tell the wind direction by how fast you coast down a familiar road

when you spend so much on mods that it'll take a year to make it back in fuel savings

when you take the back road, doubling your trip time, because you can drive slower

when people pull into the left lane a quarter mile behind you on the highway because everyone recognizes you and knows you're only going 50 long before they catch up to you

when you miscalculate a coast to a red light and don't make it to the metal detector, you look behind you and there are no cars in sight, so you get out and walk to the corner to press the pedestrian button rather than turn on the engine to go a few feet

when you think of your engine as just something to occasionally give your coast-mobile a little push
