How to tell you're an Asian driver

  1. You drive with the air conditioning off to increase mileage and save gas
  2. Your modified exhaust pipes are large enough to fit a watermelon
  3. You keep a box of Kleenex tissue in your car (probably in the back where the rear speakers are)
  4. You drive with the music (probably techno) on so loud that people hear you coming from a block away. And you leave the windows down.
  5. You have at least 5 sporty decals on your car. MOMO, Falken, K&N, Ralliart or something similar is a given.
  6. Your car has a rear spoiler that totally obscures the view from the rearview mirror. After all, aerodynamics is more important than safety (then again, the spoiler probably is just for show)
  7. Your suspension is so low that driving over a pebble causes your car to scrape on the ground
  8. Your lights are tinted
  9. You have a Buddha charm hanging from the rearview mirror
  10. Your car has neon lights illuminating the undercarriage

Yes, I know generalizations are often incorrect. But we love them coz they're funny, especially if you're talking about yourself.
Driving back from MN over the weekend I drove past some such cars. While I had the air conditioning off.
