...You spend all night putting your new truck together Only to remember you forgot to buy Nitro, then spend an hour calling shops over 50miles away to find one open on Sunday. (None of which are)

You know that you are addicted to rc when you are asking your parents for permission to build a track in your backyard.

if you were really addicted you'd just build it and then when your parents got home you'd tell them they're the proud owners of a nitro r/c track.

You know you're addicted to RC when.....

You open your checkbook and 98% of the checks you wrote out for the last year were too your LHS. [sm=spinnyeyes.gif]

The wife cancels all your credit cards, because you have the account numbers memorized, and so does Tower Hobbies. [X(]

You know you're addicted to R/C....
....when you smell nitro everywhere you go.
....when you get mad because the high RPM engine you heard in the distance was actually a motorcycle.
....when you blatently ignore No Trespassing signs to run your R/C within plane sight of the people working at that business.
....when you concider telling those people where they can buy an R/C so they can join you.
....when you have R/Cs that have been around longer than some of your friends.
....when you concider quitting smoking so you have more $$$ in your R/C budget.
....when you can't resist buying a 16 pack of AA batteries everytime you go to Wal Mart.
....when people you work with look forward to lunch so they can watch you run your R/C.
....when you can't walk by the VP at your workplace without him asking "How's your truck running?".
....when convorsations with the plant engineer consist of the words nitro, Tower Hobbies, & too pretty to be here now.
....when you've known for a long time there's a thread just like this in the airplane forums.
....when you visit the airplane forums hoping to convert them to land based vehicles.
....when you let little kids steer your nitro with you holding the throttle with the belief that you're training the next generation of drivers.
....when you get mad because the skate park is filled with kids on skateboards, bikes, & rollerblades.
....when you look forward to a cool, slightly rainy day when you know the skatepark will be your domain.
....when you know Tower Hobbies representatives by name.
....when they're surprised at how much stuff you've ordered from them in the last year.
....when you have at least one Speedmart everywhere you go. (work, truck, mom's house, livingroom, & workshop)
....when you get Tower Talk & don't even have an airplane.
....when you're thinking about getting a bigger house so you'll have more room for you R/Cs.
....when you're thinking about moving your PC onto an end table so you have another workbench.
....when you & your buddy can't have a 15 minute convorsation without talking about R/Cs.
....when you create a HTML page covered with R/C links because you're tired of searching through your bookmarks for the most important ones.
....when you don't see anything wrong with taking a coworker's R/C collection off his hands so he can buy a Revo even though you don't need or want a TMaxx & whatever that other truck he has is.
....when you know way more than you LHS owner & he admits it!
....when you can come up with 25 of these only stopping to leave some for other people. lol

You know you are addicted to rc when you drive 16 hours to a race and spend every night in a different hotel becauase you keep getting kicked out for running your 8th buggy up and down the 3rd floor hallway at 3 am every place you stay.

You know you are addicted to rc when you take a weeks vacation and you hotel room looks like this the whole week.
