When your check engine light comes on, you start going through a checklist in your mind of what it is and how are you gonna pay for it

If you have ever found a part under the hood and said "what the **** is that?" and searched the forum for an explanation...

If you spend a saturday adjusting coils for no apparent reason.

If you have a room full of car parts that need to be sold/put on/thrown out.

If you just love your goddamn car more than anything else.

You laugh your *** off at V8 drivers who try to drag you in the WET

You know you're a pre 99.5 B5'er when:

You press the fog light button, and freak out because there is more LIGHT, when you already checked the bumper 10 times for spot lights and couldn't find them (then realise the are intergrated in the headlights).
Haha I like this one I was looking for hidden fog lights myself.

Here are some thoughts I have...

When you want to get another B5 to keep one as a daily driver and one to mod.

When you would rather pay more for a 96-99.5 than a 2000/2001

When people see a B6 and ask "why you don't get one of those?" and you tell them yours is lighter,thus "better."

When the B6/B5 S4 people tell you they have a 6-speed and you tell them that they waste time with the extra shift but have the same gear ratio.

When you insult the B5 S4 people by telling them that their car doesn't qualify for rally races, but you're really jealous deep down inside.

Some non-B5 specific ones:
When people ask why rappers rap about BMW/Mercedes and other German cars except Audi as if they are inferior, and you tell them that "VW owns Audi, Lamborghini, Bently, Bugatti, and is also Porsche's partner."

When people tell you that Audi is nothing but a VW in a demeaning tone, you say "VW owns Audi, Lamborghini, Bently, Bugatti, and is also Porsche's partner."

When people say WRX STi and Lancer Evolutions are way faster/more badass AWD cars, and you tell them that Audi Quattro was banned from racing.

When most people talk about their 'car,' but you talk about your 'Audi.'
