the alternator light comes on when you brake
if you hold down the horn, then brake the horn note changes
if you brake the horn doesnt work

1 - If you have to leave the car parked in a public place, you use a steering lock. This is not to deter theives, but a sign to the police that its not an abandanoed car. [:x)]
2 - You talk to senior citizens at the local shopping centre car park to see if they will sell their 1 owner Escort that is straight a dye with virtually no miles on it. Your eyeing off what you could get for the original parts on it, or the idea that you have a sound body to strip the car and convert it into something that will cause carnage on a race track.

If you lock the keys in it you can use anyones key (pop stick) to unlock the door.
It's a miracle if the interior light works when you open the door.

How about this...you know you DON'T drive an Escort when it takes you many weekends of diciphering the sh!t in the engine bay just to pull the motor out and whack a new one in and it doesn't get done in half a day.
I am indeed talking about my Skyline...hahaha. Stupid technology.

... you position your car at club displays at just the right angle so it doesn't leak when it rains.
... your car 'warps' sideways out of roundabouts.
... you still can't stop grinning like a simpleton 3 hours after parking you car.
... you are a middle age accountant that can talk passionately about a car he has been driving for 20 years.

If you have to go somewhere with other people, they always offer to drive their car

Only double sterling! Your a lucky man.
You know your driving an escort when you have to ask people if they have a hammer to unstick the solenoid on the starter motor. (I started carrying my own hammer after this)
