When you carb decides that even after being used for 20 minutes you still need choke, at a standstill, at 2500 rpm with everyone looking at you like you are an idiot
When you have to drive with the window open to stop it from steaming up as the fan is pretty usless

You know you own an SJ when you need to remove said bungs to let out the pond in your footwells after heavy rain
