20. You can lay down under the wing for shade.

22. You justify buying a bigger truck to haul your planes to the field, by telling your wife that you plan to remodel the basement, and you'll need the 8' bed to haul sheetrock and 2x4s.

RE: You might be a Gasser Pilot if:
When you upgrade your plane you have to buy a new car.
You buy cars based on your airplanes need not yours.
Your always sunburned because you can't fit under the canopy with your airplanes.
Your gasser's prop cost more then your trainer did.
Can no longer hide the new project from your wife because it sits in the dining room. And livining room. And bedroom.

You justify a $1,100 motor buy telling your wife that it burns fuel that only costs $3.00/gallon. Instead of that horibly expensinve glow stuff that costs $19.00/ gallon.

You get funny looks when you pull in to the gas station in your oversized SUV and tell the cashier you want to pump 3 bucks.

You can hold $600 in servos in one hand.
You have a dedicated tow vehicle for your trailer. (The only reason I drive my Pathfinder is to tow my trailer to the flying field. It stays hooked up all the time.)

You might be a gasser pilot when....The chain you use to pull your 4X4 out of the ditch in the winter is the same chain you use to anchor the tail of your plane when starting it.
