1. I am a very non-superstitious person. I find it hard to believe in things I can't see or can't find proof for. I don't remember ever believing in Santa when I was younger. This also applies to other things like deities, afterlife and ghosts. Despite this, I still have to run across the house after I turn off the lights in the kitchen, just in case.

2. Some time when I was much younger, I misheard Maserati as Mazda-rati. This lead me to believe for quite a while that a Maserati was a very luxurious version of a Mazda, and that the GranSport Cabrio model I had was actually a gussied up Miata. I also thought that the Honda Del Sol's odd profile was due to the fact that it was a small, mid engined sports car like the MR2. I was very disappointed when I found out it was just an odd looking Civic variant.

3. I like to keep things tidy, but at the same time I'm quite lazy. This means that whenever something in my room is out of place, or some clutter has built up, the two emotions will conflict eachother, and I'll feel this annoying, nagging feeling until I clean it up, but at the same time the want to just put it off until later. The result is that my room looks reasonable, but nothing is really organized. It's just placed neatly in random places.

4. I find that I'm a very apathetic person towards others. Sometimes this can make keeping up a conversation difficult, seeing as it's hard to come up with a response if you're really not interested in the topic at hand. It's quite annoying.
 
6, I've grabbed up a cockroach with a bare hand when I was 6. :scared:

7, I sometimes act like a nerdie out of the blue.

8, I'm always laidback at doing something and feeling dormant - little care about jet fatigue when traveling overseas. :P

9, I'm afraid of being tickled by someone completely unfamiliar.

10, I'm short for my age and compared to the average height of those (especially) in western countries. (approximately 173cm tall.) :(
 
  1. Hypermobility in my left ankle is so bad that I twist it immediately if I'm trying to walk in shoes without insoles. Barefoot is, most often, fine tho. So are sandals.
  2. This led to me breaking one of my cameras. I guess parts of it are still scattered around the Champs-Elysees. Even tho I wore proper shoes that day.
  3. 1. has been caused by 7 surgeries, due to injuring the ankle often when playing ice-hockey. The ankle doesn't have ligaments around it anymore.
  4. I hate stupid & slow people. Thinking 3 steps ahead isn't optional in my books, it's a necessity.
  5. This leads to people thinking I'm arrogant due to me most often knowing what they'll say / do next and adjusting my reactions accordingly.

Brooding on some consequential steps in advance before taking into action is way better than going by recklessly without any foresighted notions.
 
1.) I converted to Judaism on June 29, 2011. I've become a devout Jew and ardent Zionist.

2.) I've had 8 cars in as many years of driving.

3.) I lived nextdoor to Bo Jackson when I was little and he babysat me a few times.

4.) I used to be a licensed real estate agent.

2) My dream is to lap the Nurburgring in my 1998 Jeep Cherokee.

3) I can snap my toes, but not my fingers.

4) I'm a severe arachnophobe.

5) My fingers are double-jointed.
 
Haha glad I'm not the only one who wants to lap the Nurburgring in a cheap but reliable car. :lol:👍

I'd do it in my Sunbird if I could get it through German customs. But by the time I have the kind of money for trips overseas, it probably won't be very stock anymore, and that's kind of half the point.

Sadly most people are overwhelmed by someone always being several steps ahead of them.
 
I don't even know what number anymore: Music heavily affects my driving. Possibly the biggest example: whenever "Footloose" pops up on the local oldies station, I start trying to drive footloose. I should probably keep that station off until spring.
 
Footloose and oldies station. Does not compute.

Unchained Melody and oldies station computes.

Get a pic of it a Flugplatz, and I will make it my avatar for life.
 
1. I have a strange obsession with 3 wheeled ATV's. I find them better in almost every aspect over quads.

3. I have helped restore a 1946 Willys Jeep and a Model T.

4. I once offered a guy several hundred bucks for an industrial cube van (similar to a UPS truck). All I wanted was the motor out of it as well as the transmission.

5. I did a tune up, electrical work and paint on a 1981 Camaro that had a 231 V6. I had the air cleaner painted black and the valve covers done in Chevy blue. Hooker headers installed with a new exhaust system and dual glass packs. Installed a tach and recurved the distributor. Made it little peppier.

6. I have rebuilt way to many Chevy trucks frame up. Dislike!

7. I watched a guy blow up a brand new, $2,000 rear end in a Ranger not 5 minutes after installation.

8. I watched the same guy drop a transmission going down the drag strip. It wasn't his year needless to say.

9. I have seen a tubbed, 580ci completely custom S10 run a stupidly slow 1/4 mile. They claim it runs 10s. LOLNO

10. My dads 3 wheeler is the same year as his truck.
 
1) I like advertising.
2) I don't like toy insects, but i'm fine with real ones.
3) I've met Sir Stirling Moss.

11. Not about me, but related. Walt Disney hit on my grandmother incessantly when he and his brother Roy visited their boyhood hometown (Marceline, Missouri) in 1956. My grandfather was the Mayor. My Dad was 5. He got a signed print of Donald duck riding a train.

Awesome!

Can't remember what number I last stopped at, so I'll start at 1 again. No promises on any of these not being repeats of my previous ones.

1. I currently have 5 dogs. Had 7 dogs just two months ago.
2. The total number of pets I have is 40, give or take 3-5. There are 3 cats, 2 guinea pigs, the 5 dogs, and the rest are fish.
3. I can take off, fly, land, and do all pre-flight checks for a Cessna 172R light aircraft.
4. When I was younger, I shoplifted a lot. It was little things like packs of gum, hot wheels, movies, and other things. I stopped when I was caught stealing a hot wheels Prius and have not shoplifted since. (My mood also significantly improved after I stopped. Go figure!)
5. One time, me and my former friend were throwing something metal and heavy back and forth over his house from back to front yard. One of us threw it to the left too much and busted out the back window on his mom's car. Somehow, we were able to convince his [idiot] parents that it wasn't us that did it.
 
1) One important fact about me is that I can't remember which 5 random facts I wrote down earlier in this thread.
 
1) Halloween is my favourite (pseudo)holiday.
2) I was diagnosed with dyslexia as a child.
3) The first car I ever drove was a Nissan Sunny hatchback and I broke it by parking aggressively.
4) I have a very serious phobia of horses, balloons and spiders.
5) I'm 95% certain I was Marie Antoinette in a former life.
