• Have you ever been to a hospital or institution because of your van?[/*]

What is your score?

If you have answered YES to any one of the questions, there is a definite warning that you may be an astroholic. :think:
If you have answered YES to any two, the chances are that you are an astroholic. :shifty:
If you answered YES to three or more, you are definitely an astroholic.

(The test questions were not used at Johns Hopkins University Hospital, Baltimore, MD, in deciding whether or not a patient is an astroholic).

Remember if you, or someone you care about, is struggling with astroholism, or even mild cases of astroddiction, you've come to the right place. :romance-grouphug:

Hi, My name is Jim. I've been struggling with Astroholism since 12/2008. My Wife is about to leave, my Kids have run away, and my own dog won't stop barking at me. I'm glad I found this place, now I can study and become a professional Astroholic. Thank you, thank you all. Jim

That was the easiest test I ever took. I answered yes to the first three questions and figured there was no point going on. Thanks AA!

As a member of the, um, other AA, this made me laugh so hard I nearly choked on my tongue. I may have to re-write the Steps in support of this post.

Best,

Hi my name is AA(AstroAustin) and I'm speaking on behalf of AA(Astro Anonymous), feel free to contribute your own questions so we can more accurately diagnose astroholism in the future.

21. Do you put your passengers lives in danger because when you see other astro's driving you rubberneck so hard that you nearly drive off the road?

If you've ever thought to yourself "This fuel tank gets easier and easier each time I drop it",
you might be an Astroholic.

If you've ever torn your interior quarter panels out looking for a non-existent factory trailer
harness plug,
you might be an Astroholic.

If you've ever installed a frame hitch and wondered "Do I REALLY need these bumper brackets?",
you might be an Astroholic.

If you smack yourself in the forehead, and think "I COULDA HAD A V8!",
you might be an Astroholic.

After smacking your forehead and thinking a while, you begin to wonder "Drop the subframe, or
cut the radiator support?"
you might be an Astroholic.

If your muffler has it's own zip code,
you might be an Astroholic.

If you've ever kept a screwdriver wedged in the rear bumper to open the door
because the handle broke,
you might be an Astroholic.

:chevy:
