You know you're obsessed with Transformers when:

You know your obsessed when your vacation isn't centered about you getting leisure and relaxation and visitiing those places, but rather planned and the whole trip revolves on that plan - where are the TF shopping haunts and visiting those for the umpteenth time til your wallet bleeds.

Guilty. My wife was getting sick of me constantly obsessing over toy hunting whenever we went travelling -- so earlier this year when I went to Japan, she gave me ONE day which I could dedicate to Transformers, but not for the rest of the trip. So that was the day of the January Osaka Meet where I got to catch up with some fans from Kansai (and 2 from Nagoya) and spend most of the day TF hunting and just sitting around talking about Transformers! But the rest of the trip was mostly spent doing other stuff like travelling and catching up with Mundaner (non-TF folk) friends.

or better yet you OWN a transformers forum

I used to run a TF forum (this was before griffin had established one for OzFormers). But it wasn't as nice as this one -- it was one of those "free forums" where you get ads, and the URL is just the domain name plus some random code; and of course, there's no nice looking TF themed wallpaper, buttons etc.

if i see a girl cruising around Mildura with a TF badge i'll talk to you

i've been visiting my mum in my home town this week and by the number of cars i've seen with those badges, i'm surprised the ANZAC memorial hasn't been replaced by a Cybertronian War memorial. Or, in the council office foyer, the Matrix, on a velvet cushion, mounted on a plinth in a glass cabinet.

so, no offense chrome badge people, i'm just jealous

You should! Mines a silvery blue Ford Focus with a chrome autobot badge and my best friend drives a black Mazda 6 with an autobot on the back window. It's cute when we park side by side somewhere. I also have Optimus hanging from my mirror.

At least you had a forum - I was printing off monthly newsletters on my Commodore 64's dot matrix printer Because there were no programs back then to insert images etc, I would have to photocopy pics and stick them on a blank piece of A4 paper with the writing and then photocopy it all together just to produce a single page. That was painful

Hahaha, I used to do that for this anime and gaming fanzine my friends and I used to make when we were at school! (and we went to different schools too!) -- it was actually called "Animania"... looooong before the anime convention came along and stole that name that we weren't using anymore and had never trademarked!!

when everytime you go to a store/mall, you look for the TF section.

I used to do that until everything started to suck

Nah, we have two cars - the one my wife normally drives is covered in Autobot logos, the one I normally drive is covered in Decepticon logos. They both have Transformers "My Family" stickers on the back windows - Autobot and Decepticon respectively. Oh, and both cars only play Transformers music. Don't listen to blasphemous non-Transformers music!

Ahhh , it all makes sense now.. i haven't seen the tf 'my family' stickers yet.
seen a few funny ones though. i'll have to keep an eye out..

Try having it repainted then like Movieverse Dropkick G-rock. no need for a little badge.
