OK, I don't think this has appeared on the list, in awhile:


With slight apologies to Jeff Foxworthy:

"You Might be a Triumph Owner" (most are from personal experience)


If you are afraid to park at the bottom of any hill, you might be a
Triumph owner.

If your dress code is "Never wear white!", you might be a Triumph owner.

If you don't bother to put top and sidecurtains up when it rains
(because you'll get just as wet), you might be a Triumph owner.

If you budget for replacement car parts, like you budget for food (and
your food budget is lower), you might be a Triumph owner.

If your children often say (while out driving around) "I remember when
our car broke down here, Dad!", you might be a Triumph owner.

If you think that Rain-Ex is a necessity, you might be a Triumph owner.

If you have ever had to choose between using the defroster, windshield
wipers, _or_ headlights, you might be a Triumph owner.

If your wife always warns you, "Home before dark!", you might be a
Triumph owner.
