Am I the only one who has this problem? Here are some examples.
I get home from work around 3:30. If I get home and look at the clock and is says 3:31 I think... thats right a stroked 302.
The exit # I get off all the time on my way home is 327. I think... that is the best chevy engine made.
You get the picture, I'll stop now.

YES!! That happens to me all the time! But I go a step further and prove I'm a red neck, I also notice gun calibres, like my .243.
I'm glad I'm not the only weird one here :)

what about the special #'s too, like 4:20 or 69?:D
Sorry, just had to add it in. Yes, I also see #'s as motors or even gun #'s.

That happens to the best of us. At least you don't think of anything at 10:40 or 11:20. I get a feeling of dread on a whole string of numbers.

lol we're no longer in the US so if we get together for coffee you leave the guns at home k? lol :p :) :D
I'm the same way though, I see any number and it's like how does that reffer to a car. I love cars of all kind. I will sit at a bus stop with friends and we'll just watch cars watch by tell like 1-2 in the morning and just talk about cars for like 4-5 hours, then we'll drive around looking for cars, then stop off at dealerships and look at all the cars. We'll go home like 3 in the morning wake up the next morning and start all over doing the same thing. People find it quite amazing how we talk about cars so much. :D

Yeah, I have that problem too! It's usually highway exit numbers, though. Like 36C, and 38D, etc. Makes me horny as hell. Can't quite figure it out.
:confused:
Take care,

ROFL!! I have noticed that too Chris! I have it bad with the engines though, especially the 331.. I notice that time every day and I see it in bar codes, on man hole covers, on walls, its everywhere.. It haunts me!:D I actually remember where I was on my route the day before at 3:31, sometimes. I actually use it to judge whether I'm running ahead or behind.

I've been doing that for years. 3:02 and 4:54 are the usual ones I notice, but 3:51 sneaks in from time to time.

I'm guilty as well. :)
Any number combo I see, I think of a motor. Last night, the loto pick three was "3-7-4" I was thinking, it would be better if it was "3-4-7" :D

That's kinda funny. Whenever I see 486, I think "very slow". Interesting.
