Default Re: Street racing question

sponger,

you do not address the passion and excitement in your OP. it is like decribing sex as "inserting the penis into the vagina. you do it till your done. what's the big deal?" the difference is that everyone here knows the thrill, pleasure, etc. associated w/ sex, but most don't know what it is like to really be in a race, with the sound, speed, danger, pride.

money is part of the equation, but integrating your modifications, and utilizing them correctly is not a guaranteed thing. also, there is some intrinsic benefit to doing something yourself, and seeing it work. kinda like setting your own schedule and working out, eating right. you could pay a personal trainer, hire a dietition, take clenbuteral, build a gym in your house, whatever, but you might actually get less respect in bodybuilding circles. same w/ buying a ferrari vs. building a supercharged miata.

and mentioning the fast and furious is pretty much going to trigger a backlash from the people who will be most likley to give you a real answer to your question, if you are even interested.

sorry for the randomness, did that help at all?
