YKYAEI......
while a motorcycle makes as much noise as it can in a stop & go traffic, you are driving at the same average speed as quietly as possible.

YKYAEMW
You watch the new series of Top Gear complete with new "sensible car" and start to ponder what you would do to aero mod it, hypermile it and get the best MPG on any lap of their track...

You're talking to your friends who race, and think to yourself: "I could've matched that lap time... and done it on less fuel..."

YKYAEI......
when walking through a parking lot you can't stop from looking at aerodynamics around you... and getting some pictures from time to time to verify misc things at home...
Got this picture lately :
Verified : - the arch behind the heads is in alignment of the A pilar and the rear end of the trunk
- the angle between the horizon and the line from the A pillar and the rear end of the trunk is smaller than 10° (~9.5 measured but not verified that the horizon is horizontal on the picture
 )
This will motivate me to reinstall the trunk cover on Megane

YKYAEM when...
... The local driver's ed school starts teaching students how to safely take pictures of your car while driving.
OK, this hasn't happened yet, but since people are not going to stop shooting pics while driving, they might as well be taught to do it in a safer manner.

YKYAEM when...
The best part of your day is driving to/from work and getting 40+MPG.

YKYAEM if you look at pictures of the land and ocean sacrificed to spills and think "My neighbors own a larger share of that than I." Here, our petro-state leaders just decided to scuttle a report on the tar sands when they got the first whiff of it.
